WARDOGS mortar and vehicle weapons will not reload: fix

If your rifle reloads but mortars or vehicle weapons do not respond, a separate empty keybinding may be responsible. Check ammunition and the operating position before editing anything.

01

Check ammunition and the weapon position

  1. Ask a teammate to reload the same weapon.
  2. Make sure ammunition is available and you are using the correct position. A keybinding cannot fix missing ammunition.
02

Back up your configuration

  1. Close WARDOGS completely and open the folder below.
  2. Copy GameUserSettings.ini somewhere safe, then open the original in a text editor.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Wardogs\Saved\Config\WindowsClient
03

Repair only the reload entry

  1. Find Input.NamedActions.Vehicle.WeaponExtension.Reload.
  2. For this action only, replace PrimaryKey=(bIsCustom=True) with PrimaryKey=(Key=R,bIsCustom=True).
  3. Preserve surrounding commas and parentheses. Save, launch and test reloading.
((TagName="Input.NamedActions.Vehicle.WeaponExtension.Reload"), (PrimaryKey=(Key=R,bIsCustom=True)))
04

If a key is already assigned

  1. Do not change unrelated actions: this particular cause does not fit.
  2. If the test fails, close the game and restore the backup. Reassigning R later may trigger the conflict again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to delete the entire configuration?

No. A targeted edit is enough for the empty reload entry. A full reset would also remove other settings.
