it’s been a while but when I tried to launch the game it now says all my bindings are not recognized or unbound

 ![unbound](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/cataclysmdda/original/2X/4/402cd6e040b647a805558be9899ec894dbfc5dbe.jpeg)  
any way to fix this?

Please [make sure](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html) to include at least

- the game’s version,
- your operating system.

It would also be helpful to know if you have updated your game to a new version and copied over the `config` folder, as well as if you have set it up to use a gamepad/joystick, and if you set the `Options` → `Interface` → `Use key code input mode` to `symbol` or `key code`.

The `Unbound locally!` seems normal, since the game does not assign a key to them by default. The `UNKNOWN` part is where it deviates from a normal keybinding.

Without more information that’s really hard to answer… maybe it’s as easy as deleting the `keybinds.json` file in the `config` folder if that exists, maybe not.

win 10  
e.3 stable  
updated from e.2 stable via launcher (all files kept the same)  
just mouse/keyboard  
no idea what that last part means but based on what a little text peek at the jason said maybe symbol?  
and deleting keybinds.json from config worked issue fixed delete thread or leave for posterity
