As title, the `tab` and `escape` buttons on the left side of the keyboard no longer works in NMS, this was just before the 1.55 patch by the way. I tried another keyboard, still the same. They work fine out of game.

Any ideas?

NMS stores key mappings in <InstallFolder>\Binaries\TKGAMESETTINGS.XML.

A default entry looks like follows:

<Property name="Player_Forward" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml" />

A modified entry for the same player action looks like follows:

<Property name="Player_Forward" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml">
<Property name="RemappedKey" value="108" />
</Property>

One way of diagnosing your problem might be, to check, that none of the entries contain said 'RemappedKey' property, but look like the unmodified default ones.

Edit: I'm stuck in a hole right now, being chased by sentinels in a bad storm. Let me get back to my ship and save to try and forcefully remap the menu keys to anything else than 'TAB' and 'ESC'.

Edit2: Nope, forcefully changing the keys for entries which look like the ones triggered by 'TAB' and 'ESC' simply make the game crash on startup :(

Thanks for trying.

I tried my gamepad which I only use for vehicles and I`m able to access my equipment that way, but I much prefer `tab` for my normal running around. Can`t figure it out. I might try a complete reinstall instead of these incremental patches.

Well reinstalling the entire game fixed it.

Hate it when I don`t know why something went wrong, even when I fix it ... Maybe a corrupt file perhaps.
