Unmapped Keybindings cause instant crash upon opening keybinding settings

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Description:
I went into the keybinding settings to remap some keys. I unmapped my special melee key (with the intent to remap it to something else) but I exited the settings before I remapped it. I attempted to go back into the keybinding settings to map the special melee key and the game crashed instantly. Now, every time I attempt to open the keybinding settings the game crashes. I have tried to access the keybinding settings from the character select screen and from inside the ship, but both cause a crash. I am now unable to use the special melee ability and it’s game breaking for me.

Here are the things I have tried on my end, to no avail:

  • Reinstalled.
  • Set worker threads to =< 6.
  • Tried in game after logging in; tried in main menu.
  • Disabled sync and deleted Darktide folder in APPDATA to regenerate it.
  • Updated drivers and such.
  • Tried it in Windowed, Borderless, FullScreen

I severely hope for a fix soon - it’s game breaking :frowning: and I know I’m not the only one with this issue unfortunately.
