    I checked it myself on my laptop, although the error code only happened to me once, in the end it did let me reconfigure the keys but in the launcher they are still mentioned as the default ones. However, when I run the game, the keys that are assigned are the ones that are used and not the default ones. Checked on Windows 11.
