DiRT Rally I have to reset my control settings every single time I start DR !

[Tobbe Bergman]

Since yesterday I have to reconfigure my control settings every single time I start DR.
I have to map all the buttons on my wheel and pedals too.

I had this problem with DR before but it somehow fixed itself ?

When everything is adjusted I go and save the setup but next time there are no setups to load because DR thinks I am using a keyboard.

I have un writeprotect all the folders related to DR ( both install folders and my documents folders )

This is very frustrating and I appreciate any help !

THANK YOU

Use yout wheel from the start of the game. It tends to do this if you start using keyboars in menu.

Not sure what you mean but I am using my wheel from the start and that is how I know it is not working when I press the buttons on the wheel.

I had this exact problem with DR before and I haven't got a clue how it solved itself because I sure didn't do it

Another annoying thing is that sometimes DR start at the wrong resolution and not in full-screen mode so I have to change that also.

There are some *maybe* workarrounds on Steam:

And this:
For the time being, you could try adjusting the dinput_default.xml accordingly. Maybe set it to read only afterwards, don't know if that's necessary though. You can find the file in *\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\input\

If you remap the pause button then there is a bug where you have to reset the controls every time. If you leave pause as default it should save the controls.

Don't click anything on your pc from you click "play" in steam and until the game starts. If you do. It will start windowed.

Is that a confirmed bug by Codies ?

I can't recall where I found it but it certainly fixed it for me

Strangely it worked when I got home and I haven't done anything different

This is making me nervous !

In 2023 it's near impossible to find any info on Dirt Rally. I was having the same issue with my settings, resetting every time I restarted. Not mapping the pause button solved it. Thank you!
