Can not place stairs unless already I'm already in build mode (R Keybind)

I can’t place stairs unless I’m in build mode. My Key bind is R, and I have unbinded everything that was R, yet it still won’t work. I saw the fix with disabling DNBOs, however as it is R it still won’t work. Please help.

Hello, I’m also having this issue. It’s been around a week.

Note to devs: This is when using stairs on the R key; switching to any other bind works.

I tried unbinding all R binds in the entire keybind menu. Nothing works. Tried resetting, etc.

Same situation with me. Stairs is on R and it will not enter build mode automatically. Its the only bind that wont. (MB5 for wall, Q for Floor, C for Roof all auto put me in build mode) I tried removing every single keybind in the settings that’s on R besides my stair b/c i thought it was conflicting somewhere, but it still wont work. I tried stairs on F, X and a few other keys and with these binds it does auto put you in build mode, so its clearly something wrong with the R input. PLEASE FIX :frowning:

Exact same issue for me. I can’t place stairs via ‘R’ unless I’m already in build mode. I was just messing around with my build keybinds for science today, and now I’m totally screwed! This is pretty devastating to me, as I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game with ‘R’ for stairs.

To repro this, first reset your keybinds to default, then set stairs to ‘R’, then try to build outside of build mode. It’s busted. Please please fix!

This issue is still present. It extends to every build piece you try to bind to “R”. You cannot build them unless you’re in build mode.

Steps to recreate:

  1. Reset keybinds
  2. Bind any build piece (Wall, Floor, Roof, stairs) to “R”
  3. Tap R - Build piece blueprint will not pull out unless in build mode

The only workaround I can think of is rebinding the R key on your keyboard with software. I set my “R” key to “Z”, and bound “Z” to stairs in Fortnite
