ArmA 3 controls

[ODell]

Does anyone know of a way to delete the ArmA 3 Apex controls preset? Cause everyone time I start my game I have to switch from Apex to normal ArmA 3 controls. Then I have to rebind everything. And it's really annoying. I've googled it and posted the same question on the discussions on steam. No replies yet. It's getting really frustrating.

 

Help a brother out.

Haha. I know that. What I'm trying to say. EVERYTIME I start my game its on ArmA 3 Apex by default. And I have to switch it to the regular ArmA 3 controls. And rebind everything.... That is something I don't want to do. Even if I do what you just said. It will change back to apex.

Sounds more like a write/permission problem with where ever your Arma 3 profile is located. Arma 3 normally writes those presets into a file to do with your profile to save it. If this is in an area Arma 3 has no permissions to write to then it wont work - try running Arma 3 or even Steam as admin before launching the game, set the controls then it should save them?

That's probably a good idea.

 

There's almost certainly a value for that selection in your profile that isn't being saved by the exe.

Well I tried starting ArmA 3 as admin right from the ArmA3.exe and it loaded up and I'm assuming froze on black screen. I tried starting the ArmA 3 launcher up as admin from its .exe... Nothing. I'm about to try and launch steam as admin. I even Validated my game cache and nothing was missing.

Attempt running the Arma executable you are using as an administrator. If you're unsure which one you are using, running all three as administrator will do. Just be aware this will require you to confirm a windows prompt before loading the application unless you have turned those prompts off in your UAC settings.

No set the exe properties to run admin under compatibility. Then the launcher will launch it admin as it starts. Ensure you do that to the x64 exe if you're using 64 bit arma.

Alright. I also looked into my ArmA3Profile and I found all the controls listed to each key. Would this be the location where this kind of data should be saved? Maybe a value is set to 0 for off or 1 to ArmA 3 or 2 for ArmA 3 Apex.

Would "CustomScheme=1" be something to look into or change a value to 0 maybe?

I even wiped the game off the my hard drive. And reinstalled it... Same problem.

[1stLt H. Taylor]

hmmmm. I literally know nothing about the scheme thing with arma, never ran into any of this.

Underneath this in my .arma3profile it has all my controls laid out onto each keyboard button/mouse button in number format.....example:

 

keySwimUp[]={45};
keySwimDown[]={44};
keyAdjust[]={29};
keyMoveForward[]={17,200};
keyMoveBack[]={31,208};
keyTurnLeft[]={30,203};

I reinstalled my game and my problem is persisting. And I created a new profile. This is what I have. Mainly the controls I edit... And by edit I mean unbind. Are the command keys. Anything that uses the F keys. And the numbers keys. As my mouse has 12 buttons on the side that act as the same thing.

After reinstalling the game, did you attempt to get it running as admin? if yes, have you tried running Steam as admin? I know a few mods have issues with this, Steam must run as admin etc etc.

 

From memory Arma 3 default profile is saved under 

C:\Users\**Your username**\Documents\Arma 3

and extra profiles are saved in 

C:\Users\**Your username**\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles

 

As I said before, it could be that the game is unable to write to this location due to permissions that may be setup by your windows?

The game has been writing in the same spot since alpha.
