ESC key not working reliably due to concept context handling in PROFSAVE_profile
Platform: PC Game: Battlefield 6 Description: I am experiencing a persistent issue with the ESC key in Battlefield 6 that started after a few days of normal gameplay. Suddenly, ESC does not reliably open the in-game menu and in certain contexts such as the loadout menu or end-of-match results screen it stops functioning entirely. After investigation, I discovered that the problem is linked to how the game handles “concept contexts” in the PROFSAVE_profile file. Adding the following lines manually to the profile for the various concept layers restores ESC functionality in all contexts:GstKeyBinding.common.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.common.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.common.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.common.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.vehicle.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.vehicle.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.vehicle.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.vehicle.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.equipment.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.equipment.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.equipment.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.equipment.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.scoreboard.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.scoreboard.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.scoreboard.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.scoreboard.ConceptMenu.0.type 2 GstKeyBinding.results.ConceptMenu.0.axis 0 GstKeyBinding.results.ConceptMenu.0.button 1 GstKeyBinding.results.ConceptMenu.0.negate 0 GstKeyBinding.results.ConceptMenu.0.type 2Additional context / troubleshooting steps taken: I have disabled all overlays. I play exclusively in fullscreen mode as the problem occurs more frequently in windowed or borderless mode. I verified that Steam Cloud sync is not the cause. The game sometimes regenerates the PROFSAVE_profile file on launch, removing these lines, which causes the issue to reappear.Impact: This behavior makes the ESC key unreliable during gameplay and on end-of-match screens, negatively affecting game navigation and usability.Request: I would appreciate if the development team could investigate why the game removes these concept context bindings automatically and provide a permanent fix to ensure the ESC key functions reliably in all contexts.Thank you for your attention.
