[Bug] Key bindings are reset every time the game starts

from Sins Forums

I know there have already been other posts on this bug, but I couldn't find a simple "[Bug]" thread about it, so I'm creating one for this bug.

Basically every time Sins starts, it resets all key bindings back to the the defaults.

I have investigated this bug a little bit, and I found that the actual contents of the $HOME\uimappings.setting file are simply not loaded by the game. Presumably the game then uses hardcoded defaults, and then at a later point writes the current settings (which are the defaults) back into the settings file, effectively reseting it back to default values.

This means that we have no workaround for this problem (unless the defaults live in some file under the main game folder, but I failed to find such a file).

Under any event, I don't know about anyone else, but this is a nightmare for me as I play with very different key bindings than the default ones and can't really get used to the defaults. I think I'll got back to 1.05 until this bug is fixed.

Are there any plans to fix this soon? Or will this only be fixed for the next beta release?

It's been fixed thanks. Any file that has a version on it will get wiped (achievements, uimappings etc).

I'm sorry I don't understand what that means..? Is the fix released yet? Is it going to be released? Is there a temporary workaround?

I have a similar problem to this where all the changes that I make to game resolution, effects , and even the name I use above the picture set selection is always reset. What am I doing wrong? It is a pain in the ass to change everything all the time especially since it didn't happen in diplomacy. Anyone else have a fix/solution?

Also, the sound levels get reset. I only notice that because I like to change the balance to reduce the volume of some of the more unpleasant voice overs. Each time I re-load, this has to be done.
