13 years agoProblem with controls
I am using PC version of the new NFS most wanted. I mistakenly set 'S' key for both 'drive' and 'menu down'. As a result I can net change settings of the controller. I can not select the controller o...
If you deleted your save data (you might have to also reinstall the game again - not sure how it will react) it will definitely undo any control glitches you've created. The default save data location is (Your User Folder)\Documents\Criterion Games\Need For Speed(TM) Most Wanted. Delete the contents of that folder and the game will have to re-create everything from scratch. Again, there's a chance you may have to reinstall the game because it may get upset that you deleted this but it will definitely work if nothing else does. I'd think of it as a last-resport option.
The save data and controller configs are stored as different files, so you shouldn't need to uninstall the game or lose save data.
As pointed out in the previous post, you will need to delete a file stored in your documents, but you should only need to remove the file named "config.NFS13save"
It would be great if there was an option right there in the controller configuration screen to "reset to default" to make it easier when we mess up a controller assignment. But hey, I'm just glad my old CH 2 Axis 5 Button joystick works and I can customize the controls just like Hot Pusuit 2010 and Burnout Paradise. Thank you so very much to everyone at Criterion for that!
I agree. I was looking for that too. 😕mileyfrustrated:

Can you tell me how that works for PS3 please? I am having the exact same issue as the OP.
Not sure, if you are using a PS3 type controller with the PC those settings are in the same file. Just scroll to the appropriate section. You will have to do some experimenting to get the syntax right.
I've deleted the file and still have the same issue, there is no way to reset these controls. I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice, once via DVD and then through Origin. I have manually gone behind and removed every shred of the game on my PC. It seems as if Origin syncs the last saved controls and restores them....... This game is titally unplayable and I have no way to fix it..... what now?
