Please Help - Veteran Player Having Key Binding Problems

Hello,

I am new to the forum. I’ve been playing Grim Dawn for several years using both a keyboard and a Razer XBOX controller. I swapped my old controller out for a new one today (same controller model, same company etc). I ran into the following issues:

  1. My key bindings within the Grim Dawn application are not working. When I set the key bindings under options, I am unable to see those bindings reflected in my skill assignment to those keys when pressing the Y button using the controller. The binding slots are empty.

  2. Slots greater than 4 on my keyboard skills assignment (at the bottom of the UI) do not work. I have skills assigned to those slots and I can see them, but pressing them does nothing.

Thanks in advance for guidance.

Another symptom I find is the Tonic of Mending is now not working on either the controller skill button or using the keyboard interface.

I have been searching the internet and found information about Keybindings file. I deleted that and also tried setting it to read only. No luck. I also switched back to my old controller (again, same make, same model). No luck. Any suggestions are appreciated. Been playing for almost 5 years with no issues up until today.

OK, it seems to be confined to the capability of GD software to recognize anything but certain buttons on the controller. However, it is the same controller type I had before. When I press Y and the skill wheels come up for the controller, the down and up cross options on the controller wheel are not present even though I have mapped them under options. I did not have this issue before. Is there a setting I am missing elsewhere under options? Perhapsit was reset? Many thanks for reading.

Since you deleted keybindings.txt you probably need to assign controller buttons again.

This is how I have configured it for me:

There is also an option to configure this via Steam, which I am not familiar with.

Thanks for responding. You will notice in the screenshot below I have mapped right bumper on my controller. When I compare to my screenshot above I see that I do not have that controller option appearing in the wheel. Perhaps I am missing something with regards to key binding. Thanks.

I think your bumpers / shoulder buttons work fine. If you press them (even at full health and energy), you should see your potions go on cooldown:

The button wheel is tied to Quickbar Slots 01 to 10 (see my first snippet), which you need to configure again.

Not sure, why it did not work before you deleted your keybinding file. It’s a local settings file and you might have lost your old one because you reinstalled Windows or the like… I’m just guessing though.

Hello,

I was finally able to fix it. Unfortunately I cannot be quite sure which combination of items remedied the problem. I did remove restrictions on the file folder containing the keybindings file. But I also realized I was not assigning the key bindings to slots 1-10 correctly.

All that said, it was odd that when I switched controllers of the model and make, my key bindings disappeared and I ran into this difficulty.

Thanks you very much for your assistance. I think your screenshot above was helpful.
