Describe the bug

After reinstalling the game, I entered the game and found that the option of key mapping was missing. When I tried to open it many times, I found that this option flashed and disappeared when starting the game. Now I can't create my own key mapping.

This issue was fixed in https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayTools/pull/187. A nightly version may be released within the first few public betas.

In the playcover discord server there is a forum about your question. Someone (possibly a developer, I joined yesterday so idk) sent a file containing a unreleased version of playcover that solves the keymapping issue. The link is above, or you could search playcover server on github and find it in the support channel.
I hope this solves your issue.
If there is any issue with this comment, please contact and I will delete it immediately.

The file in discord is the build of this repo, so or you build it manually or you wait a release

tahoe 26 runner-image still not available on public

So, KEYMAPPING ISSUE ON MENU OPTIONS WILL STILL NOT BE FIXED

BUT, you can build it yourself

IF you're in Tahoe 26

But, If you're lazy to build it yourself, use the build in Discord/PlayCover#Keymap_not_activating
