PC Keyboard Bindings Menu Crash: Developer Workaround

Symptom

Opening the Keyboard Bindings menu in Settings crashes the PC game. The developer says several reports match this behavior.

Affected platform and version

The published workaround is for PC. The bug thread contains day-one build reports including CL92086, but the developer reply does not state a final fixed build. Hotfix 2’s broad stability line is not treated as proof that this exact crash is fixed.

Is this the same issue?

Use this procedure only when opening the Keyboard Bindings menu is the repeatable trigger. Other settings crashes need their own diagnosis.

Known trigger

Attempting to open the Keyboard Bindings screen.

Safe troubleshooting order

1. Install the latest Steam update and restart the game.
2. Record your current build from the pause menu.
3. Retest the Keyboard Bindings menu once.
4. If it still crashes, fully close the game.
5. Back up the two specifically named settings files before changing anything.
6. Apply the developer workaround below.

Verified temporary workaround

The developer directs affected players to the Windows user profile path ending in:

AppData\Local\MortalShell2\Saved\SaveGames

Back up, then remove only:

• EnhancedInputUserSettings.sav
• SpartaGameSettings.sav

Restart the game and revisit the menu. These filenames are reproduced because the instruction comes from a developer reply, not an anonymous comment.

High-risk actions to avoid

• Do not delete the entire SaveGames folder.
• Do not remove unnamed .sav files.
• Do not download replacement save or configuration files.
• Do not edit binary save data.

Official status

Under investigation in the checked developer reply. A workaround is confirmed; a specific permanent-fix build is not.

Still unknown

The underlying settings conflict and the exact patch that permanently resolves it were not stated in the checked sources.
