Controls.txt

A-Ganger · 07-08-18, 08:36 AM

Hey guys, does anyone know how to stop or prevent DW from defaulting to original controls?

Every time there is an update, the controls.txt is rewritten back to default.

I then go copy my saved file (of the control functions I use) and over-write the file. BUT, when game is launched, it goes right back to default.

Seems ridiculous to have to go in and manually change every single control function every time the game is patched.

I haven't this problem but you can try to give "read only" attribute to control.txt file.

That makes sense. I'll make it RO so next update it won't change it hopefully.

This is a know problem in this game and is documented on the Steam forum..

Same issues as me. Change controls to our liking, launch game and it goes back to default lol
