Keybinding Bug – Vigor (PC)
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

Hey team,

I’ve run into a bug in Vigor’s keybinding system on PC.

I like to use the same control layout for every game I play.
Vigor won’t let me do that.

Here’s the issue:

The game allows custom keybindings in theory, but it won’t let me reassign keys already used in the default layout — even after I remove them.

Example:
I want to change crouch from Ctrl to C.
I get an error saying there’s a conflict.
I clear C from any other function — still get the error.

I even tried moving 1, 2, 3, 4 to 0, 9, 8, 7 to free them up — but the game still won’t let me assign those keys elsewhere.

It’s like the game pretends I never unbound them.

The game also will revert to default keybind when the function is left unassigned.

This problem happens with almost any key already used by the game — even if I’ve cleared it.
The only keys that seem to work are the ones the game never used in the first place.

I have a video showing the issue.
I can send it, just let me know the best way to share it.

I won’t play competitively — and I won’t stream — with a control scheme that doesn’t work for me.
If the core settings aren’t functioning properly, that’s a deal-breaker. I take performance seriously, and I expect the same from developers when it comes to fundamentals like controls and core game settings.

That said — I enjoy the game.
The concept is strong, and there’s a lot of potential here.
As a longtime fan of Bohemia Interactive (DayZ especially), I want to see Vigor succeed.

Please fix this issue.
It’s holding the game back. And I'm certain lots of people I feel the same way as I do about this issue.

Thanks for your time.

Steps To Reproduce

Go to settings.

Change 1, 2, 3, 4, to 0, 9, 8, 7.

Then.

Try to assign 1, 2, 3, 4 to ANYTHING ELSE.

Bet you can't.

This happens anytime you try to use the Custom Controls options to reset your keybinds.
If you want to reassign any button used by the game while it is in its DEFAULT state, you can't.
You can only reassign keys NOT USED by the games list of default keybinds that are native to the
games original button controls profile. So it isn't just the buttons listed in my example above.

I'm having the same issue. A new control can't be bound to any of the default keys. It makes the game un-enjoyable, which is sad, because I really like this game.

I have the SAME issue, but only with Ctrl and C, with crouching and marking for teammates (so far)

A trouble that I NEVER had before. This season looked great, I finally decided to buy the pass, but suddenly everything went wrong.
I HAD it done, Ctrl was marking, and C was crouching.

I was in a 5v5, was in spectator between rounds, went to the control settings, turned up my mouse sensitivity a bit, then BOOM my C and Ctrl went back to default and I CAN'T put them back.

Since the game said it is already assigned, I tried to set like Numpad 1 for crouching and Numpad 2 for marking, so no conflict during rebinding, but the game still WON'T LET ME.

The thing is that it has changed while I didn't touch at the key binding at all.

I'm seriously really close to give the game a negative feedback on steam. I played and enjoyed this game a lot on ps4, bought the pass back then and played a lot of long night game, and I was so glad when it came to PC since i've finally bought a new one after 8 years, I had a bit of fun on PC, and me and my girlfriend were planning to use this weekend's event to have a lot of fun but NO.

Gotta ad to CamActive_xD answer that this trouble started the same date as you, 17th of April.

Before that, I had no trouble rebinding my keys, since I did it.
Honestly, I love this game and the concept too, but this trouble happening a few days after I bought the pass is REALLY making me angry
