This has wasted hours of my playing time, so I am eager to get back in. You will find Strafe Left is now bound to Delete, so now just go through and bind your surrounding keys, and don’t forget to rebind that 7 key we deleted earlier! Click “Restore Defaults” at the bottom of the screen, as the change we made above is now hard coded into the default key layout. Next step is to load up Mass Effect 2, go to Extras, Options, Key Bindings. This will unbind the key 7 but you can sort that out when you get back into Mass Effect 2. I kept it simple by finding a bind with 5 characters, search for the following text, Bindings=( Name=”Seven”, Command=”PC_HotKey7″ ) and simply delete the 5 chars by deleting the entire word “Seven”. Somewhere we need to remove 5 characters so the total character count adds up. This is not the end, you must now make sure the number of characters in this file matches when you first loaded it up, so as we have added 5 extra characters binding the delete key (“A” minus “D elete” = 5 extra characters “ elete“). Search for the text and the first line below it should be LocalizedBindings=( Name=”A”, Command=”PC_StrafeLeft” ), change the “A” to “Delete”. Once you have a copy, open the original Coalesced.ini using Notepad++. At this point I suggest making a backup copy of the file, one change to this file can stop Mass Effect 2 from loading. Locate the following file, Coalesced.ini which can be found in (your Steam folder)/steamapps/common/mass effect 2/BioGame/Config/PC/Cooked/ if you purchased it via Steam, or if you have a retail copy then (where you installed it)/BioGame/Config/PC/Cooked/. Please read all the way through and follow this guide exactly otherwise Mass Effect 2 will not load up.įirst download notepad++, standard windows Notepad is not only a complete mess but does not seem to save the file correctly resulting in ME2 not loading up. Moving on, the solution to binding the Delete key in Mass Effect 2. Before you shout ‘what NEWB uses up, down, delete, page down for basic movement’, in my defence I have been using the keys for over 13 years, and thus I challenge you to a round of quake to prove that I am not a newb.

Despite its popularity, not everyone uses the traditional W A S D key layout, some of us use the strangest set of keys for movement. The first annoying bug I have found in Mass Effect 2 is not being able to bind the Delete key, as pressing it deletes any key binding. How to bind the delete key, dont give up it is possible!
