Context
I play the game frequently switching between my desktop windows pc (Windows 11 25H2) and my Steam Deck. A few weeks ago, I took on the Lazy Bastard achievement and unbound the craft keybinds to avoid accidentally crafting things.

The Issue
Each time I boot up the game on the platform that is not the one I previous played on, I need to set the keybinds for crafting once again.
Specifically:
On PC - Craft, Craft-5, and Craft all need to be set to Left-Click, Right-Click and Shift + Left-Click.
On Steam Deck - Craft and Craft-5 need to be set to (A) and (X).

To Reproduce the Issue

• Open game on Windows
• Go to controls. Change a Keyboard and Mouse key binding to a non-default binding
• Close the game and allow it to cloud save/allow your Steam Deck to download the cloud save
• Open game on Steam Deck
• Observe that the changed Keyboard and Mouse key binding is unchanged
• Change a Controller binding to a non-default binding
• Close the game, let the cloud save do its thing, open the cloud save on Windows
• Observer that both the initially changed Keyboard and Mouse Key binding is unchanged, and the changed Controller binding is unchanged

Additional Notes
I repeated the above steps many times. In one of my

I initially unset my keybinds in the public build of the game, then switched to the experimental build during that run.

After I completed the run, but before I noticed the problem, I installed several mods. However, I am able to reproduce the issue after uninstalling all mods (only loading Base Game) on both the PC and Steam Deck.

I loaded the cloud save from my desktop on my Windows 11 laptop, and found that the keybind settings were preserved. Proceeding to load the cloud save on my Steam Deck then reset the changes made as before. The problem seems to be the steam deck to some degree.

I believe I was *also* experiencing this issue with the volume settings. At some point I had muted the game (unchecked the Master volume setting). Later, I loaded the game and unmuted it, but found that it would revert to the muted state on PC after loading the game on Steam Deck. In my testing for this bug report, I have somehow been able to unmute the game on one platform and have the setting preserved. Then, later I muted the game on PC, the cloud save remained muted when loaded on Steam Deck, but when I tried to unmute the game on Steam Deck, it was muted once again on PC. So... I'm unsure as I'm unable to consistently reproduce any version of the issue here...

Attached are two logs taken after loading the game on PC and discovering that the binding were unset.

An additional piece of context for this, just in case it's relevant. On PC I use a Colemak keyboard and therefore Colemak keybindings. I can't imagine why that would affect this situation, but let me know if there's another file I should upload with that in mind.
