I also had this happen again. you used to be able to plant a buildiung for construction with the space bar, now it doesn't work that way. i went into options again to fix the button, and when i left options is when it crashs. Also i tested it, like Mr.X said, it does it even when you don't change anything, you can simply hit esc and the options menus pop up, you hit esc again, and the game crash's. heres my crash file.

I just managed to get around this bug. I also had the same problem with key binding so I opened the input.cfg and noticed that SPACE was assigned to both build_apply and pause though the key bind slots in option menu were empty for those.
After trying to reassign build_apply game crashed and while the input.cfg was opened in Notepad++ it asked to reload the file because it was changed. To my suprise both build_apply and pause lines were deleted which made the option menu to crash immediately after next start.

To repair this, in input.cfg I just assigned build_apply=Shift+B and pause=PAUSE. Now they appear in key binding menu and now I finally can exit the build mode.

Ok, now I see the whole picture. The keys can be binded in multiple slots in options menu, that's not the problem. The problem is keyboard language. After I changed keyboard language from finnish into US english it seems to work like it should. I guess Kenshi didn't like scandinavian letters in some key names

Can anyone verify this?

k,

So i tried what Markula suggested, and it seemed to work for building, np. I can't confirm the language error, cause i don't have finnish on my pc, sorry. This time, i hit esc to go to the options menu, and directly hit it again as to close it, no crash, it was when i actually went into the "options" from the menu then went out (without changing anything at all) thatit crashed. also, to confirm it wasn't my saved game doing it, again, i tried to start a new game with a wanderer, and it ran fine, hit esc, and closed, nothing, was ok, it was when i opened the "options" menu, and upon exiting options, it crashes, i've got crash reports from both, so maybe you can compare.

You don't need finnish. All I meant was that if you have in Windows settings set a keyboard language that has non-english characters on some key names that the game doesn't recognize, it will likely cause the crash. When I changed the keyboard language into english the crashing stopped.

I also have the problem that if I close down the options menu the game crashes, whether I do it on the main menu or in the game options, and if i did change anything or not. I can't fix anything in the options, and for some reason Space bar is no longer pausing the game, so I want that fixed. And I can't build something since I assume I need to press space bar to do so, I can't end build mode. I can put down a building to have built, but my characters just go around doing whatever, but not building, since it still says I'm in build mode until I press Esc, and that takes away the building too.

So, I'd need to change the controls so they recognize Spacebar, but I can't do it, nor could I change the input file.
