Settings > Controls - Cannot Change Keybinds or Set Mode
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

When attempting to change a Keybind in Settings > Controls, the selection dialog box opened for one or two keybind selections, then failed to open for any of the control categories.

After a few game launches the problem became persistent. Exiting the game, restarting Steam, logging out of Windows and restarting the computer did not have any effect on restoring the keybind selection function.

Removing chimeraUserInput.conf from the 'My Games\ArmaReforger\profile' folder caused the game to generate a new file, but the keybind problem persisted.

Resetting the keybinds to defaults in Settings > Controls had no effect.

When it was initially possible to select keybinds, there was no apparent means of selecting ''hold' or 'double press' mode keybind functions.

Steps To Reproduce

In Settings > Controls, when selecting a keybind to change, the selection dialog box does not appear once a small number of keybinds have been set and recorded in chimeraUserInput.conf

It has not been possible to restore the keybind selection functionality by any means and thus reproduction of the initial selection of keybinds with single failures of the selection dialog to open..

Some progress has been made with selecting and assigning keybinds, perhaps with build updates.
More control keybinds can now be assigned, though with intermittent consistency and either no action taken, or varying combinations of actions apparently triggering editable status, such as:

  • unbinding a keybind
  • resetting the default key
  • changing the control page and going back
  • accessing control settings when pausing the game
  • exiting the game and accessing settings from the main menu

Keybinds editable in one settings access session may or may not be editable on the next occasion.

A few certain keybinds cannot be edited at all, including talk over radio functions and engine start / stop.

Many toggle keybinds do not function when assigned, though their normal hold-key counterparts do, including freelook, lean and sprint, although toggle perspective does function.

It has now been possible to bind all controls except Common > Talk over radio (Toggle), which appears to be stuck on 'Double Caps' and does not rebind or unbind.

It is still not apparent how to set hold or double tap keybinds, though two-key combinations such as Alt+Key do bind.

In use, toggle binds such as Freelook and Sprint require a double press of the bound key to function and Lower Weapon requires a triple press.
