Xandyr1978 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Posted November 10, 2021 Suddenly, my X key won't swap hands, and the mouse's scroll button doesn't cycle through my toolbar. This is the first time I've had this issue. Tried rebinding the keys to no avail. Tried reinstalling the game fresh. No luck. Roommate can play ON MY WORLD and has no issues. Yet all the keys work and the mouse scroll function is fine everywhere except within VS. Help?
Brady_The Posted November 10, 2021 Report Posted November 10, 2021 You could try if deleting clientsettings.json (and potentially clientsettings.bkp) in %AppData%\VintagestoryData solves this problem.

I'll give that a try. Thank you! Does this also remove the specific world settings, or just the overall game-client settings? Edited November 10, 2021 by Joe Patterson Further clarification requested.

World settings should remain untouched. clientsettings.json contains mainly game settings (music frequency, screen resolution, etc) and keybindings. Of course you can make a copy of the original file before deleting it, or simply rename it (by adding a couple of letters in front of clientsettings for example). It also contains the session login, so you'll have to relog with your game account after deleting/renaming the file!

AlexyLou Posted July 17, 2025 Report Posted July 17, 2025 I was having a very similar issue with the F key not moving items into backpacks and deleting the clientsettings .json and .bkp fixed it instantly. thanks or the advice.
