Re: Controller/wheel file settings location

N.B. AS I UNDERSTAND IT

The basic presets are loaded from the (Steam paths, not EA or any use on console, sadly) folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\F1 23\actionmaps 

However, I believe the custom schema is saved into your monolithic profile save (as are car setup files; you can publish these to Steam library though and re-import)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YOUR_STEAM_USER_ID>\2108330\remote 

it's encrypted / not editable, Unless you are CM/EA, but I think the game executable has read/write over areas (as you'd expect).

So, unless you modified the default controller actionmap and saved it (because verifying Steam files loads the default actionmap / controller preset) you can't restore it easily.

If you have a system image of the game before the 1.12 update, you could restore it, open Steam in offline mode (or w/o Internet) and go in and screenshot (or write down) the settings. But I'm pretty sure most won't be able to do this. I stopped bothering fighting Steam cloud because I would get sync errors that just wouldn't clear. 

Would the game start without internet connection? At least to a point where we could go to the controller / keybinding settings and write them down?

Yes, it's been suggested. But you can't go back to 1.10 if 1.12 has happened, like I said above.

I've made this suggestion before...keep a Notebook.

Things happen and this works for keeping track of Setups, Times and ALL settings.

As always...you've been warned✌️

We've got a hotfix planned regarding the settings resetting. If it's important to you guys, you could wait for that one. We will announce as soon as we have more info to share about it.
