Withering Realms: Missing Full Bindings on Steam Deck
Quick Answer
The missing Full Bindings editor on Steam Deck was deliberate: it could let controller users unassign the navigation controls needed to operate the menus. The developer planned to bring it back after patch 0.35. That announcement is a plan, so do not assume the option has returned unless your installed version’s notes or menu confirm it.

Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- These instructions concern Withering Realms on Steam Deck.
- Keep a working way to navigate the menus while changing controls.
Route 01
Choose a control option without losing navigation#
A missing menu can be a version limitation rather than a broken installation.
Check whether your version includes the editor#
The developer’s September 5 reply said restoration would not be in patch 0.35 and was planned for the following patch. The checked announcements do not establish that the later patch has shipped. If Full Bindings is absent, a restart alone is not a confirmed way to expose it.
Use Steam Input only for changes it supports#
Steam’s controller layout system and community layouts are available alternatives for controller remapping. They do not necessarily replace the full in-game keyboard binding editor, especially if you use a keyboard and mouse or need accessibility-specific bindings.
Keep the request specific when reporting a missing binding#
Describe the input device and the action you need to rebind. The developer’s concern was menu navigation becoming unassigned, so identify whether the problem affects gameplay actions, keyboard controls, or navigation itself.
