Alice: Madness Returns umbrella fix

Steam fix

  • Find the config directory of the game, for example in Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Alice Madness Returns\AliceGame\Config
  • Make a copy of the DefaultInput.ini (for backup purposes) and open it (the original) in Notepad
  • Find the line: Key_Block = TriggerBlock (Because of whitespace, a search for just Key_Block is recommended)
  • Change it to this: Key_Block = TriggerBlock true | OnRelease TriggerBlock false
  • Save your changes and close out of the config file.
  • Start the game; no need to change any key bindings ingame, your block key should now work.

Origin fix

  • Find the folder: Origin Games\Alice Madness Returns – The Complete Collection\Game\Alice2\AliceGame\Config\Default Input\
  • Find the line: +Bindings=(Name=”E”,Command=”TriggerBlock true | OnRelease TriggerBlock false”)
  • Change the E to whichever letter you want to be block.
  • Save your changes and close out of the config file.
  • Start the game; go to the configure controls option in game; reset controls to default. Since default for block is now the key you assigned in the config the default controls will reflect this; you can now change the remaining controls to your preference.
