[GUIDE] Issues importing keybinds into 3.23 and other keybind changes

I am posting this primarily to pass on a couple things I’ve discovered testing 3.23 in EPTU, in preparation for it dropping to LIVE. If you are like me you have a LOT of time invested in your keybind setup. In most cases, you should be able to safely save your keybinds in the advanced menu in order to later import them. Major updates to LIVE often requires this due to changes in the game to avoid corrupted configs.

MASTER MODES TOGGLE
3.23 introduces master modes, and by default the B key now cycles between SCM and NAV modes. However, on importing your keybinds from 3.22.1 you may find this has become unbound. You will need to find the Master Modes toggle in advanced keybinds and rebind it to B or your key/control of choice.

HOTAS THROTTLE UNBOUND
At least for me, I had to rebind the throttle on my X56. It is called “strafe” forward, backward, or both in the advanced keybindings.

STARMAP
The new UI in my opinion is much improved over the last, but sometimes it is less obvious what keys to press, and sometime the legend is hidden. R sets a route to your current selection, and C clears the route.

These are the first things I noted, but there are plenty of other changes worth mentioned I may add, but others are free to add to this thread as well.

Thanks “Nomedias”

Great info ran into some of these issues last night and was too tired for troubleshooting :slight_smile:

I tried importing my hotkeys from the live profile I had saved to the current test 3.23. Wound up having to let SC reset to defaults and rebuild the few keys I had changed to keep the corruption and wonky things from occuring.

I’m wondering if it makes sense to simply go back to defaults and start again…thoughts?

I was tempted to myself, but for now my config seems to be good. I forget which version, but 1-2 years ago I did exactly that, and rebuilt my setup from scratch.

As has been pointed out by @SairTriaS and others, there is a comprehensive post of bind changes in 3.23.

As I am mouse and keyboard it did for me.

Especially now that SC’s FPS newest keybinds are closer to other FPS games and I don’t have to modify the other game’s binds to prevent confusing the hell out of me.

Especially some of these changes, such as C for crouch. I’ll be glad when this is LIVE so I can get my muscle memory sorted out.
