OK that update patch is available on he website 4.20 that should fix this runtime issue.

(V4.20 also has a bonus feature see the history of changes for what that is )

Sorry for any hassle guys and thanks for reporting the issue.

Pol - you guys are amazing. Most responsive developers I've ever seen. Thanks so much!

CaptSopwith thanks, does the new patch work for you now? Can someone confirm.

Hi Pol! Yes I can confirm that 4.20 works perfectly. I can map and reset all of the key bindings with no trouble. All is well! The added bonus on the splash screen is also nice when you're life is so busy that even a loading screen takes away from precious flight time.

Cheers!

I am on 4.21. Bought a new joystick and when I went to map it, I'm getting the runtime error '53'. Reinstalled everything, but the problem continues. Very frustrating.

Not sure what that is as the issue is fixed. Maybe delete WOFFKeys.xca from
C:\Users\<YOURLOGONNAME>\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields

Well, it's not fixed for me, and that didn't work.

Any chance you have enabled an old version of Robert Wiggins consolidated airfields mod? There was the same error caused incompatibility of game maps erroneously included in Battlemap folder of of above mentioned mod.

This happens on my 4.21, entirely without mods and after a fresh install.

Update:

My AVG antivirus is insisting that WOFFkeys.exe is WIN32Malware-gen. When I restore the exe, it re-quarantines it.

This is happening with both 4.20 and 4.21 patches (I did another reinstall). I briefly turned off AVG and could then access the Key/Controller Mapper. However, I was not comfortable to keep my AVG off. With the AVG on, my new joystick, although recognised by the game when AVG is off, does not work because the key.exe is quarantined once I turn AVG back on.

So, it seems these last two patches, at least, have a problem with AVG. In my system, anyway.

It is a false positive. Please report it as a false positive with AVG.
enter the details and version of AVG etc you have;
https://www.avg.com/en-us/false-positive-file-form

We use ESET AV and it never has any issues with WOFFKeys etc.

Often the free AVs and some others share information so a false positive can spread to a few AVs

We have reported false postives to MS Defender, Avast, Bitdefender and others several times and have been cleared every time.

There's a section on this in the FAQ (support on our website) and a sticky post on this.

I'll do that and thanks for your ever-prompt service.
