I then go though and rebind anything that’s not bound, but after I’ve finished, it still tells me that something is unbound in ODST. Resetting ALL my settings to gives me the same result. No matter what I do, the game thinks that some control in ODST isn’t bound even though I’ve gone through all my controls in every game and double checked that all my bindings are correct. All I can do is discard my changes, but when I do that, it STILL tells me that something is unbound, but it will at least let me exit the settings menu. If I go back into the settings, it still tells me that something is unbound.

Same problem, fixed worked for me too - thanks all at Halo Waypoint who have been on this topic, appreciated!

Deleting the GameUserSettings to basically hard reset the controls worked for me. But I basically can’t play ODST until this gets fixed. Wanted to do some firefight with some buddies tonight and I tried to finally set the key binds for ODST, but now I’m back to the bugged state of the keybinds and I’ll have to fully reset everything by deleting that file again. Which is a huge pain because now I have to go through each game again to set the bindings…

I have found a solution for the ‘ONE OR MORE ACTIONS ARE NOT BOUND TO A KEY’ bug in Halo 3 ODST in the MCC:
Editing the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini
file is a workaround for changing the key bound in Halo MCC outside of the Hallo MCC settings screen .
You can open the ini file in Notepad.
When opened you will find a [/Script/MCC.MCCGameUserSettings] row
Underneath it there is the CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[0]= this is the keyboard mapping for Halo Reach
Scrolling further down to CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[4] you will find the keyboard mapping for Halo 3 ODST.
To change the walking forward and walking backward keys I had to adjust the:
GameKeyboardMouseMappings[19]=(AbstractButton=19,VirtualKeyCodes[0]=38 (up key)
GameKeyboardMouseMappings[20]=(AbstractButton=20,VirtualKeyCodes[0]=40 (down key)
From their respective 87 (W) and 83 (S) default settings respectively.

Other keys ( GameKeyboardMouseMappings[1] - GameKeyboardMouseMappings[70] ) can be changed here as well by changing the VirtualKeyCodes=. But I would suggest changing as much as possible in the Hallo MCC settings screen and save changes after changing a couple of key. Make as much changes as possible in the Hallo MCC settings. Afterwards you can open the GameUserSettings.ini file and copy key bounds to the CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[4] from the CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[0] Halo Reach, CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[1] Halo CE, CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[2] Halo2 or CustomKeyboardMouseMapping[3] Halo3:

Had to make some graphical setting adjustments to MCC HALO 3 ODST.
When changing the AbstractButton=19,VirtualKeyCodes[0] and AbstractButton=20,VirtualKeyCodes[0] back to 87 and 83, the
‘ONE OR MORE ACTIONS ARE NOT BOUND TO A KEY’ error disappeared and I could change the settings again in the setting menu and save them.
Afterwards left the game and changed the AbstractButton=19 and 20 to 38 and 40.

same problem here

Private_Hazzard · February 27, 2021, 1:22am

i’m having this same issue. it’s locked me into the settings. I can’t even change my -Yoinking!- sensitivity for halo reach because it’s throwing a tantrum, telling me that i have unnassigned controls for halo 1, 2, 3, 4, which i don’t even own.

I don’t care if I have unassigned keys 343, will you please let me play the game?

MasterTinkicker · March 7, 2021, 10:38pm

Hi, everyone.
Like all of you I’ve had problems with this rebind issue. I’ll give you a reprint of a Steam post on the problem that I put up just a while ago. I hope it helps you get to playing:

From what I’ve seen and tried myself, the problem revolves around the up and down arrow keys. Doesn’t matter what you assign to them, there will be an error. Reassigning directions to the arrow keys is common for left-handed people (myself included). Why ODST doesn’t like changes to the up/down arrow keys is a mystery, but I’ve gotten around it by mapping my directions to the 8/4/5/6 number keys on the right-hand numeric keypad. This may seem odd, but the five key (at least on my number pad) has a small nub on it that helps me find it in the dark, kind of like the F and J keys.

A couple of problems with this:

Had gotten used to night vision on number pad 4 so relocated it to the N key…having to retrain muscle memory.
If you’re playing on a keyboard with no number pad, you either need to get a full size keyboard or a USB number pad. These pads are cheap and all over Amazon/eBay. I have one I bought a couple years ago for number entry on a smallish laptop, and I verified that it works fine for this purpose. I think mine was $7-$9 on eBay.

I’m really disappointed Microsoft hasn’t already patched this glaring issue. It has occurred on every keyboard I’ve tried on my desktop and also on my Acer E15-575G laptop, so I know it’s not really a hardware problem.

I hope this helps someone. Gotta’ go kill some Covenant now.

Thanks for the suggestion, i hope we get a patch on this issue soon

FaisalCAN · March 14, 2021, 5:42pm

Had this same issue. A quick fix might be to back out to the controls menu, configure mouse and keyboard, and just set to default. Might be a pain to reconfigure, but when I tried to fix my video settings (display out to the correct monitor), it gave me that error.

I also couldn’t move when I started a multiplayer game. Although connecting to my controller worked right away. For some reason, (and I believe it has to do with the default controller settings for each of the Halo games) changes to the controls aren’t saved to all games. Plus in my case somehow certain game types just did not even register the mouse and keyboard.

Annoying problem indeed, and I wish it was more clear to find out what exactly were the non-binded controls (or in my case, pretty much all of them).

TanEugene94 · April 2, 2021, 8:45am

I also have the same issue on the Halo Master Chief Collection. I can’t change the resolution in the settings. I am hoping that 343 Industries will find a way to fix it.

halo ce i cant move at all in game the x key doesn’t exist despite changing all key bindings

Atimix · September 3, 2021, 11:08pm

I literally cannot change my controller to bumper jumper. How did the UI designer fail so badly? It just constantly says “one or more actions is not bound by a key” and forces me to discard all my changes !!? wow, who hired this UI designer? Please somepne help me change my button layout so I can stop losing games from a completely different controller layout? Who would set different layouts for different games anyway why is this a thing Ho my god!

Stinkfist075 · September 7, 2021, 4:44am

You have to restore defaults (Y) and then the warning will go away. But you have to re-bind your keys.
