Count me in, it coudnt be more annoying, enough that you need to deal with fail menu navigation clearly designed for consoles only. This game shoudn't be released yet and needs a lot of polishing. At least in PC version.
And yes Trion you got my money so stop ignoring this thread.
You are losing the keybinds as you are turning off the keybind mapping button after you assign the keys; the keybind button in options must remain ON permanently for your custom keymap to be used every time you start the game.
Mankind's greatest weakness, and greatest strength, hope.

Same Problem here !
The Keybind Button is ON !!!!
Just to add on another semi-related issue, for me the bindings did save initially, but partially. For example, I ended up somehow with C bound to both crouch and grenade. This is not even possible to set manually in the interface, since binding a key to an action will unbind it from the previous action. But for some reason after logging back in, I had two actions attached to the same key-press.
I was very surprised to see that every time I threw my grenade, I would also crouch. Then I checked my settings, and found out why.
That is not the case. If you click keybinds to OFF after you remap them they immediately revert to default settings. As Ten4 stated in first post, I too have had my remaps reset since January. It is NOT a problem on our end. It is beyond frustrating at this point. They even posted they had a fix before Beta 3 which was not true. This issue and the reloading reset have really hampered my enjoyment of this game. I can wait for all the other bugs to be patched / fixed later, these two issues however I can not.Originally Posted by HexCaliber
I have to agree that the issue is either server-side or permissions based on the client. I too have had partial binding saves while other parts of the bindings do not persist a restart. This is a major irritation, but not a show stopper.
My Definance Keybinds on PC are also not saving. I've read and searched everywhere for a solution but can't find anything. It's amazing to me that any game company would release a game that can't save keybinds. How hard is it to make a keybinds.ini file and load it on start up? Every other game, even little, cheapo independent games do it without any problem.
Then to top it all off Trion says nothing to their customers. Good companies know how to communicate with customers. Defiance will most likely be my last Trion game purchase.
Good thing the game resets 90% of the settings without our input then.
Motion Blur gets reset.
I'm sure that button gets reset.
Voice gets reset.
The list goes on.
Not making light of anyone's problems, but I have not seen this problem in Beta or live(I haven't tried since the patch late last night). I rebind several keys to the numpad for use with my Naga Razer. The problem may be with the game, but it could be client side since not everyone is experiencing it. Maybe it is something with a specific key... I have grenade, ego power, dive, "e" key, and quick chat all bound to numpad for mouse use. I am running Windows 7 64-bit home premium with all latest MS patches and drivers.
Hope this helps and hope you get a fix soon.
also got the same problem - and my guild members too!
Please fix that as soon as possible, is really not fun to play that way!
