Keybinds Reset After Update
I just updated BF:2042 to the new update and joined a Conquest server. All of my keybinds that I spent a long time customizing were reset to default. I attempted to pull from my nightly backups the...

I was able to launch the game again and this time it updated my local PROFSAVE_profile.
I copied every line from my old PROFSAVE_profile config (from my previous night's backup) that started with "GstKeyBinding" and then opened the new PROFSAVE_profile file and selected all lines that started with "GstKeyBinding" and pasted over everything, and that fixed most of them. Still had to change my binds for most helicopter / jet binds - but this saved a lot of time. I'm NOT a WASD guy so I had a lot to change. Backup your PROFSAVE_profile file before upgrading if you care about this stuff.
Hey, Cristopher! Thank you for the idea! I too encountered such a problem after reinstalling Windows. Thinking I got it all covered with a backup, but could only restore things like audio/graphics/etc, anything but not keybindings.
Just in case I've made a backup of original profsave_profile after fresh BF install and noticed something interesting: there were no keybinds, just GstRender, GstAudio and so on.
So it got me thinking that I need to change a couple of keybinds first - and I was right, after that all GstKeyBindings appeared, but I don't think it mattered.
Anyways, just like you said I've selected everything in my old file and replaced in the new created. For some reason fresh BF didn't like files that were created by "another" BF.
TLDR to apply your old settings from a backup if you reinstalled WIndows and/or BF2042:
1) do not simply replace PROFSAVE_profile! if you did, then you should probably delete it, launch BF2042 and it will generate a new default one;
2) open your backup PROFSAVE_profile (Notepad will do), select everything and copy it to the default one.
