Resolved - Binds erased

[Konig 1st MRB]

Name: Eric Konig

Rank: Private

Type of issue: Binds

Brief Description of Issue: For whatever reason, every time I exit the game, my binds are erased. The binds that I have set up from years ago are still there but the ones recently from BCT aren't. At this point, I have to redo my binds every time I start the game which gets tedious.

Assuming Windows 7 x64;

1) Navigate to the cfg folder within the DOD:S installation folder (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\cfg)

2) Look for a file called "config.cfg". Right click this file, and select Properties from the drop down list. Look at the bottom of the properties window that comes up. Make sure "Read Only" is NOT checked. Apply the setting.

3) Try entering your binds again into the game. I will list them below for reference. From there, restart the game and see if they stick.

Binds

bind key "say_team !medic"

bind key "say *Salute*"

bind key "r_cleardecals"

*** REPLACE "key" WITH WHICHEVER KEY YOU WANT TO PRESS ON YOUR KEYBOARD ***

I prefer to place my cutstom binds in the autoexec.cfg file in the same directory as the config.cfg file in the same directory. You may have to create this file if it is not there already. The autoexec.cfg is less likely to be overwritten by the game in the future.

Issue has been fixed. Thanks for your help, guys!

Cool, please could you let us know what you ended up doing so we reference this for future issues?

Thank you

To be honest, the issue seemed to have resolved itself. After posting the problem, I went to test it again. When I went in game to check that the binds weren't saved from one day to another, they were still there. Sorry for the trouble!

Edit: Stupid phone posted it twice. Sorry!
