Keymapper kicks me out of game?

[viper6]

Hello Folks.. I just got into game after 5 yr loss of memory... I got into game all is good, went to keymapper to refresh memory on stuff and alter stuff for my game play. All was ok and it worked in game. Now today I spawn in an aircraft noticed a couple keymap items were not to my liking so I clicked on area map, references, and keymapper , made my changes clicked on save and bam!! kicked me to desk top , no warning nothing just bam ,, thought ok maybe a glitch or me, rejoined and loaded game all is good went to the same airfield Vliss, went to plane selection and noticed 1 plane short, (ok np someone else must have taken one) spawned in went to keymapper again and bam back to desk top,, reloaded game went to Vliss and noticed 2 planes missing that I selected????? this some allied hack trick or what? am I doing something wrong??? if me sorry if not help me out if you can.... tks all for your time.. losing equiptment on list like this is wrong big time,, pilot got kicked I did not take the aircraft with me...

Hello, and welcome back to the game.

Have a look into this thread, and look for Oldzekes post. He describes what you need to do to fix this problem.

Tks Max I have 64 bit win 7 ,, logged in last night and all was normal,, ? will try what Zeke says if it happens again,, tks for your time..

[viper6]

Well its not ok anymore,, keymapper when I save changes ctd me several time, the keymapper entries were changed ok but the equiptment was lost on the spawn list,, I have 64 bit win7 , game is under that programs (x86) and it should be under regular programs maybe,, none of the above worked...

any more suggestions? I have 4 gig ram also and 3.0 grz speed so no problem there,, no reason given why it kicks me out on keymapper saves.. huh??? iam lost here.. tks

Yes if on 64 bit (as I am) the game is the x86 programs as it is a 32 bit game.

Your cfml files though are in documents/battleground Europe/cfml.

In the cfml folder is a global.calib file. That global file needs deleted,

the game will create a new global file.

did that Zeke did not help ,, its freaky sometimes it works sometimes it kicks me ,, oh well almost all Keymap changes I have accomplished, I just don't like losing equip to the spawn list.. maybe Ill make missions way in back to give spawn list to renew so I don't lose anything to front line... tks

You can keymap offline.

Thanks for helping Zeke. Is there anything that I need to do to get the underlying bug fixed?

Well it seems with a new install (1.34) the global.calib has a conflict/bad value that the keymapper doesn't like.

But I can't recall if this was fixed with 1.35 or not.......Too much time has passed.

I'd suggest when a new patch is doable that you check the values in the global.calib generator for that version.

Still kicks me if I go to an individual piece of equipment and make any changes as soon as I save it, it kicks me to desktop,, no reason given.. Now if I make any keymap changes to General heading like Ships and Boats it does not kick me , only individual settings. Tried del Global no change, can't figure out off line changes as mentioned.

If I go to individual settings and change through keymapper to default then go to general heading of the types of equipt, and save it does not kick . But this is frustrating as corrections and new keymapper for anything special can't be done, Trying to find work around now.. but like I said before 90 percent of the changes are done through each equiptment heading so that's ok.

Work around for not losing equipment on individual settings is go to keymapper and do not log in to Brigades make changes to keymapper for what ever individual piece and save, it kicks me but the change is made and I do not lose any equipment off spawn list as Iam not in a Brigade. So I guess Iam ok for now I know how to do it and not lose any stuff off the spawn list.. but having to reload game several times is a bit frustrating . Iam almost done changing what I need to, so maybe this will help others.

You can go offline first and change everything.

It won't kick u in offline FYI

either stop doing that or check if your union dues are paid..

Ok Poogie I tried paying my union dues and got kicked to desk top...lol tks

OK created a ticket for this. I'm working on doing builds now. Odd thing is I don't actually install a global calib file. Must be created when the game runs?

Is got the keymap thing all ok for me , but others may have a problem, its not that wide spread I don't think.. I ve made all my corrections so Iam set. Thanks for your concern , I would just put it on the back burner for a while more important things to attend to , tks for your time..

Yes the game creates the global.calib on 1st run (or 1st run after you delete a global.calib file).

The global.calib is the file with the controller deadzones in it.

[OLDZEKE]

Hummm, I know that deleting the file fixed the crash on this comp but just checked on a laptop and the game crashes on keymap save on it regardless....Even after deleting the file and restart it still crashes on save if I change a keymap on a individual unit.

[OHM]

Bumping for Wolfie69

[GOPHUR]

He having the problem?

[OHM]

Wolfie 69 PM'd me in game asking for help about this issue .... I am unsure if she is running beta or not.

[SNIPER62]

He having the problem?

she!

[GOPHUR]

My bad.

I wish i could replicate this problem. No idea what the cause is. I think we had an old ticket for this (gone I'm afraid) that detailed the replication method but can;t remember UGH.

When saving the keymapper, if you have a specific unit selected ie. tiger, smg... it will crash. But if before saving, you select a unit group ie. Infantry, tanks... It will not crash.

Correct - select a general group ie "Infantry" - "Tanks and Armored Cars" and change / save all good - select a specific unit wihin the groups ie. "SMG" or "Sherman" & save = CTD
