HrRav Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Is it just me who no longer can open the map in a match? And do you see any medals in the scoreboard after the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tried to rebind it without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HrRav Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) And I see in the battle log that we still get medals---it's just that we don't get to see them in the scoreboard...

Nope nothing 3 hours ago, Nee-Elder said: Doubtful that many (or any) players did actual in-depth GSF testing during 'PTS' phase.

Alt+M probably wont work, I'll check next match That's because by keybinding M to the regular world map, you unbind it from the other function (the smaller map), which is left without a shortcut unless you give it one. The GSF map opening is bound to the shortcut of the smaller map, so you have to give it a keybind when switching the M key to something else.

Dev Post EricMusco Posted December 15, 2022 Dev Post Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hey there, This is a good catch. As others have pointed out, opening your map in GSF is tied directly to the keybinding for opening the full map in the main game (Alt+M by default). So whatever key is bound there, is what will open the GSF map. Worth noting that this seems like an oversight on our part so we will definitely look to add a keybind option for the GSF map in the future! Thanks all. -eric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An actual BIOWARE post here in GSF section. Will wonders never cease!

HrRav Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Actually, I have tried rebinding the keys so that I have "Toggle World Map Pane" on M and "Toggle Map Overlay" on Alt-M instead. It works when I am in the ground game, but back in starfighter I still have to use Alt-M to bring up the map. 45 minutes ago, EricMusco said: Worth noting that this seems like an oversight on our part so we will definitely look to add a keybind option for the GSF map in the future!

Thanks all. -eric Dear Mr. Musco, please tell your team to stop automatically changing keybinds for existing characters. It's incredibly frustrating, especially if you have custom binds for everything and then suddenly a keybind you used for over a decade don't work anymore because they've been overwritten by some new function and you first have to setup your keybinds anew (which could take hours, especially if you have to log through 40+ characters, even if you just have to load the saved keymap, although you might need to set up things differently for different classes etc. which will take extra time again) just to play for a couple of minutes if you don't have much time. I suggest in the future when you add/change some bindings again you give us a prompt upon first character login:"There are new keybinds available for new functionality. Would you like them to auto-populate with default Keybindings (could overwrite your old bindings for the same key combination) or leave your keybinds as they are? (You can always rebind the new keybinds manually via the Keybinds menu) Auto-populate new functionality with default bindingss Leave my Keybinds as they are(do manually)." Also give us a checkbox "Remember and don't ask again for other characters". If you click "auto-populate" you go ahead and populate these functions automatically as you do now, if you click "Leave my Keybinds as they are", you don't populate the bindings. If you have the "Remember and don't ask again for other characters" box ticked, it remembers your choice for all characters and you won't be prompted again (for the current patch). Thank you very much! Edited January 4, 2023 by Glzmo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had expected it to swap to my M key as well, but it didn't seem to have any affect on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! That is not good what you wrote. We have standard into settings. We have import and export if you have going to save? Did you not save that is your problem. must you all backup to standard. Edited December 23, 2022 by Unterlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have import and export if you have going to save? Did you not save that is your problem. must you all backup to standard. Yes, I have saved my keybinds. However, if you save from an pre-patch keybinds file, it will still apply the changed keybinds. And sure, one can change them on one character and save them again and then load them on every single character. But if you have to load them on every single character on every account. If you have 40+ characters on the account, that can take hours which is a big problem if you don't have much time to play. And people don't even get a notice that keybinds changed, they log in, play and suddenly they're in the middle of a GSF, Flashpoint, Operation or Warzone and notice your keybinds don't work. A simple prompt as to keep your keybinds or update the keybinds with the patches changes like I suggested earlier would be a better solution than forcing the changed keybinds from the patch on everyone without the ability to opt out.
