Character won't move
Started the game, created character, went through cut scenes and when I'm finally in game, my character is just standing there. I've tried other buttons, right clicking, left clicking etc but my character just stands there. Is there something I'm missing? I enabled tutorials but not even getting any tutorial indication when I'm in game.

I can move my camera around and look at the room no problem, pick abilities, etc, but I can't seemingly move my character. Has this been a problem before?

I'm having the same problem. Made it through past the transporter but my character just stands there. I can go to camp but can't move there either.

Same here, dark crypt. No save works, all load with no ability for any character to move.

It fixed for me (not being able to move at the very beginning right after the cut scenes), I tried loading the game with Vulkan instead of DX11, and I didn't skip the cut scenes. Maybe one of those two things was the key, I dunno.

I was able to solve this by simply deleting that save and starting a new one. Did not skip any cutscenes and am using DX11. It’s a bit of a pain but it worked.

I tried earlier saves but they were bugged also. Did a full computer / game restart and the cut scene loaded and I can progress.

Same is happening to me. Loading a prior save.

I've managed to make my character moving by killing him with one of the other team mates. Then I just help him to get up

Just a thought but do you have a controller plugged in?

Found a FIX! Hope I am not too late but for anyone still looking for a fix:
With the new Wither's Wardrope, you send your "afflicted" character to the wardrope and then bring him back out. Fixed it for me! Saved a game!

Edit: I also saved while the character was in wardrope idk if it matters tho. When he came back and left camp, he was transported to the place where he got stuck, so maybe a registering movement problem by the game... idk.

The only fix I found was killing the PC and reviving with withers. Hope this helps people!

I am having the same issue, and I do not know how to fix it. I will try closing everything and restarting it. I was having this issue back in April too and got so frustrated I didn't play it until now. I am trying to play it, and despite uninstalling the game, and steam itself, nothing. I am not modded or anythign either :')

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
