Key bindings not saving fix and controller remapping

Key bindings not saving fix and controller remapping[citation needed]
  1. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config\XComInput.ini
  2. Since XCOM 2 has multiple keybinding subsets, look for the section called [XComGame.XComTacticalInput] for the "Tactical Shortcuts" or [XComGame.XComHeadquartersInput] for the " Avenger Shortcuts".
  3. These sections contain the keybindings and their corresponding commands for both keyboard and controller.
  4. Change the name of the keybinding to the desired key.

Example:

Bindings=(Name="Z", Command="W_Key_Press | onrelease W_Key_Release", bPrimaryBinding=True)

Issues fixed

Game launcher won't start

Close MSI Afterburner[citation needed]
  1. If you have MSI Afterburner (and RTSS running with the overlay) your game might not launch. Simply close the program and it should launch.

Issues unresolved

Game crashes to desktop when performing an action

Partially corrupted save[citation needed]
Your save file successfully loads but crashes the game when you perform an action (shoot, overwatch, etc.). If you are able to load a save from a different mission and perform actions without crashing, then your aforementioned save may be partially corrupted. Once corrupted, any save file made thereafter contains the glitch causing the game to crash.
  • Try older saves and continue from there. Creating a unique save at the beginning of a mission can help prevent significant loss of progression.
