user_input.save

A lightweight tool for editing/exporting the user_input.save file of "Crimson Desert" (PC version), which can properly handle multiple binding operations that are still difficult to handle in the in-game menu.

Crimson Desert Keybinding Manager

If you've ever tried to rebind a key in-game and lost the associated action, this tool is for you! 🎮

There is currently a known issue in Crimson Desert where rebinding multiple keystrokes may break or overwrite the relevant binding settings. This editor allows you to directly manage the `user_input.save` file, thereby retaining the bindings you want without sacrificing other operations.

This version has been updated for **Patch 1.00.03** and contains the format for the current 45 operations.

✨ Tool functions

⚠️ Tool limitations

• **Non-automatic patching**: Game files will not be automatically patched.
• **No Bypass Restrictions**: There is no way to bypass the restrictions of the game itself (some bindings are still hard-restricted by the game).
• **Unofficial Tool**: This is not an official tool from Pearl Abyss.

🚨 Known limitations (important)

• **In-Game Issue**: In-game rebinding issues for multi-binding operations still exist (which is why this tool is useful).
• **Non-rebindable keys**: **W/A/S/D** and **I/J/K** cannot be rebinded through this workflow.
• **Inconsistent Behavior**: There may be inconsistent behavior when binding **Punch/Kick** and **Heavy Attack** to unusual multi-key combinations.
• **File Difference**: Some user archives only store overrides, so not all values ​​will appear as in the full base file.
