I'm trying to repro this but I am having no luck.

Here is what I tried:

1) Rebound "Move Forward" to "2" instead of "w"
2) /save_keymaps
3) Closed Client
4) Logged in, Pressed 2 -- Moved Forward
5) Opened Options -- Move Forward still bound to "2"
6) Loaded High Performance Setting -- Move Forward still bound to "2"

If you can give me some steps to repro what you are seeing I'll try to get a fix in this week.

Edit:

I thought of one other thing, make sure you have a Keyboards folder under "EverQuest2" and type "/save_keymaps ily" in game. Then put "cl_keymaps_file ily" into your EQ2.ini.

What may be happening is that you used "save_keymaps name" at some point which overrides the cl_keymaps_file temporarily. Next time you start the client it wont know that file name if you don't put it in your eq2.ini. <-- This is all just a guess since I can't exactly reproduce what you are seeing, but I'd be curious if this doesnt fix your problem.

Might it have to do with /quit instead of /camp?

Sounds like this old problem, or in any case the workaround there might help you.

I had this issue about a year ago, it was due to me accidentally switching my default key maps (the drop menu on the bottom of the options window) from EQ2 to another of the options, EQ, I think. Every time I logged in, I would have to reset my keymap. Once I set it back to EQ2 default, my kepmap stuck and has worked fine since. I have had one other guildie run into this issue as well and the same thing fixed theirs. Hope this is the issue as it's a pretty easy fix. =)

I've had this creep up in the past few days for me as well. I threebox, and for some reason, it only happens on my second box defiler. I play him entirely using the numpad (and occasionally a mouse for follow and stuff like that)

For some reason, his hotbutton keys that I had bound to the numpad would reset to the default so that now it would force me to the default look/movement keys for the numpad.

I fixed it more than once, and then would save the keymaps, hit load, and nothing would change. In addition, it has reset WHILE playing WITHOUT me ever opening options (like I said,t he only keys I hit on him are numpad)

BTW if you save your keymaps, sometimes there is a bug where the 0 key will unmap (happens to me every time) so I have learned to /save_keymaps <filename>, and while still in game, open the file, copy the first line, and paste it right underneath, so the first line is actually repeated on the second line. It works every time!

And yes, you have to save your keymap file in the options file for whatever dropdown option you use, or every time you open your options window, it will reset to whatever is saved there.
