@xxxC🤭lBr33zExxx Sorry, but could you provide more detail? By going to "Key Bindings", then "On Foot" tab, down to "Look Right" (cause that's the direction my character is spinning), I select the keybind under the "Controller" column. When selected is says "Press A Button To Bind" or "Hold (Three-line) To Clear", "ESC to Cancel". Tried holding escape but it just takes me out of that menu.
Buddy is having a very similar issue and can't bind any keys at all. Everything is defaulting to mouse 5.
Looking at my buddies PROFSAVE_profile in settings folder it looks like the game thinks he's on Xbox and using a controller. My PROFSAVE_profile looks correct and works fine. I tried uploading my PROFSAVE_profile and having him delete his and use mine but the game is still overriding my profile.
Ok. So I fixed my issue. Apparently there was a right input being picked up from one/both of my joysticks. I disconnected them. Once I disconnected them I launched the game and went back into keybinds. I was able to clear all the controller keybinds, reconnect my joysticks, and launch the game. It seems I couldn't clear the keybinds while the joysticks were connected because it was picking up the right input immediately, preventing me the chance to clear the keybinds.
That's what was happening to me. My X56 throttle is a bit dodgy (as many of them are) and will occasionally send spurious inputs. I managed to get lucky and unbind things without having to unplug it, but I'm still getting very occasional bursts where it's "waking up" and throwing me into a menu in-game. Not too bad, but it's just more incentive to finally replace this throttle with something better.
@L1qqSame for me. And it started today after i've been trying to get a PS4 controller to work (unplugged now and reset pc, verify game files and what ever other ... ppl suggested.). Since then i also cannot clear or set mouse keybindings anymore. I'm always getting the "mouse 5" and clear is asking for the three lines button to be pressed. Holding ESC doesn't work for the mouse; it just closes the dialog *instantly*. It does however work for keyboard and controller where it doesn't close the dialog instantly but clears the binding.
If you find a solution please let me know I’m stuck with MOUSE 5
Same issue here
Unfortunately, for me holding ESC drops the menu back like it says "Esc to Cancel" it does not clear the bind no matter how many attempts I make. I don't even have a controller so the fact my KB+Mouse settings say "Hold 3 bars to Clear" & also appears to be a widespread problem gives me hope EA will address this issue.
My config is Steam+KB+Mouse (No controller plugged in, No Joysticks plugged in). I cleared the keybindings and restarted to no avail.
@LeonUbernidustry turning on your Game Mode option in your Win 10 Game settings. It worked for me and i was able to successfully unbind this nuisance bug.
Start >>> Settings >>> Gaming >>> Game Mode >>> Toggle on switch
After doing the above, simply restart your BF2042 game and voila, you should now be able to unbind the "mouse 5" key by holding down the ESC.
Hope this helps some you guys cause it's worked for me and i didn't have to edit any player profile files.
I was having rhe same issue and my fps was taking a hit. I downloaded the new nvidia driver and now I can change my key bindings no problem
Mine just started doing this today S:
@Boyler73I just installed the new Nvidia driver, rebooted and tried again. It appears to have resolved my previous key binding issue (mouse 5/ Xbox controller button to clear setting).
Now the Switch Weapon-Gunner key is hard locked to the F key is and I can't change or delete it at all.
I finally got the Mouse 5 button issue today when I tried rebinding the mouse wheel while in-game. I got rid of it was to restore my key bindings to default and rebind everything again.
Definitely recommend taking some screenshot of your binds prior to resetting....lol
I saw another possible posted where they stated "delete the "cache"-folder inside the Documents/Battlefield 2042-folder."
After further investigation/play I found the Transport Driver Map button still does the old "Hold Xbox button to clear" and maps it to mouse 5 automatically. It appears the Nvidia drivers resolved some of the issues for some key controls but the same issue is still present in other controls.
Battlefield 4 would have key binding issues if you had a controller plugged in. How could this still be an issue in the newest game.
I am having that same issue if he found a fix yet plz let me know
