Keymap is Reseting

I like to play COH with a controller. However every time I walk into or out of a mission, die or change characters it resets the keymapping scheme I set up for the controller. So I have to reinput the whole setup. (ie: Controller Button 6 for Slot 5) It even resets the one that I saved, so I can’t even just load the saved one every time it resets. How do I fix this problem? I cannot play the game without a controller.

This is my info
Windows 7
Intel Quad 64 Bit
3 Gigs Ram
256 MB Graphics Card

I've had that happen with one character before. This is how I solved it (and had others tell me it worked for them too).

/bindsavefile charactername.txt
/unbind_all (and/or reset keybinds from option menu)
Log off or switch characters for 20 minutes (close the entire client).
Open a fresh client and log back in.
/bindloadfile charactername.txt
Do not zone anywhere. Immmediately log off for 20 minutes again (close the entire client).

With any luck, the bind file you loaded should persist each time you zone now. The 20 minutes or closing the client might not even be necessary in most cases, but I always suggest it anyway just to be on the safe side. You never know when the character or it's binds might be stuck in memory either on your client or on the server, so you just want to make sure you are starting fresh each time.

I think that the reason this bug happens is that even though your character's binds are saved on the server, they are also loaded onto your client each time you log into that character. It seems possible that the /bindload commands load the bind file to your client, but don't always make it to the server, which makes them reset next time you log in or zone. I'm not sure what prevents the update from happening. Maye some kind of minor file corruption. I don't know. Clearing the server info completely and then resetting with a new file again usually fixes it though.

Good luck!
