Having to reassign controls on every single launch

Hi! I have a permanent rig setup, with every device on the rig being permanently connected to my PC via the same USB port. When starting AMS2 I have to go through the ordeal of reassigning all my controls. They do not reset, they're still set in the menu, they simply don't work in game unless I reassign every single one. I tried deleting my profile and disabling steam controller input but neither of these things worked. Did anyone else run into this problem?

Not sure if it matters but I have an SC2 Sport with Heusinkveld Sprint, and I interchangeably use a PE LMP wheel over USB and a wireless Ascher wheel.

Edit: I'd like to reiterate that the issue is not with config loss, AMS2 can write to the Documents folder no problem, and my control profiles are always present, when reassigning controls, for example for upshift, the assignment is already there, and when I reassign it doesn't change (so for example upshift is mapped to Button 1, and when I "reassign" it remains as Button 1. Also worth noting - no other game has this problem - LMU, RF2, iRacing, BeamNG, AC, ACC, ACE, EA WRC, also MSFS, MSFS2024, X-Plane 12 - they all use various controls and I'm only having this problem with AMS2.

 

Yes!
I have the exact same issue!
Well, occasionally my controls still work in practice or time trial, but then don't work when I enter a LFM race.
And my assignments are still present in the controller setup - it's bizarre, and really annoying.
There must be a bit simple fix to this?
I don't have any problems with Rf2...

 

I still get this very often.

No Onedrive installed. Custom wheel + Separate pedals.

Using Simagic Ultimate + FX.

The pedals don't reset, just the wheel. Honestly feel like I've tried so many things. Even a fresh AMS2 folder in documents doesn't fix it. Controls remain unaffected in rF2 and LMU. Kinda losing my patience with this.

 

This also happens when you swap wheels and then load the profile for the wheel, the mappings are there it just doesn't work and has to be remapped, is an old bug but I wish they could sort it out.

 

Yes, this is exactly what happens to me. Way too often.

 

Just came here to make a new post, but I guess this is fine.

I've always had the problems with the damn pedal reassignment after every single driver update - as does literally everyone I know who plays this game. It's the only sim that does this, and it's very aggravating.

With this new update, I've now got the problem where every few launches, my button box is not seen properly - and I now have to reassign those. It gives off the impression in the Assignments menu that nothing has changed, as all of the correct buttons are still there - but when I hit the button in game, nothing happens. I have to forcibly reassign them again - that's about 14 assignments on 5 different profiles - just like I have to reassign the pedals.

This has been going on for years, and I frankly cannot believe that it hasn't been fixed - and it's even getting worse. I do not have this problem in any other sim. It needs to be addressed!



EDIT: It's actually losing everything. It stopped seeing my wheel mid-session! I sat in a lobby for ~10 minutes after a race (which worked fine) and when I hopped in another lobby, changing nothing in settings, the game simply stopped seeing both my wheel and button box. No controls worked - no steering, no pedals, no buttons, nothing.
