Try to unplug joypad from your pc (if you have any).

i did unplug controller and i also verified cache

3 files were reloaded which also reset my controls.

i redid the controls and saved, but still have the problem of s not working as strafe left.

i noticed after saving the controls i closed the window. when i relaunched the game there was a letter D put into the 2nd control option for strafe right even thought there was already a D used for move backward.

The binding reconfiguration is messed up, and it seems that you can't bind keys over the default ones or something like that. It can probably be done manually, however I have no idea how.

i had to edit the UDKInput.ini found in Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\UDKGame\Config

backed up the file first then went through and changed the settings manually in there. the letters in color and lowercase are the ones that i changed

i didnt change anything else to get this to work and im not sure why there seem to be duplicate entries.

if you're still having problems, try this.. in the launcher where you configure the controls, "erase" the secondary control box by making the key you want to primarily use secondary, and then back to primary, even if the secondary box is empty. worked for at least getting the R key to be what i wanted it to be.

here's an image of what i'm talking to and it seems repeatable as this is 3rd time i've seen it do this after a settings reset.

- the game patched which reset the settings to default.
- launch and configure
- edit the controls to liking, for me its esdf
- save
- close
- re-launch and the extra D shows up

I am having the exact same problem as the poster.
Thanks for the advice, I found the same config error you showed and after modifying it and removing the extra lines it worked just fine.
Hopefully they will have this fixed in an upcoming update.
