Nier replicant, friend can't play with keyboard and move during first stage of the game

[Kasper Kroenen]

Hello, a friend of mine is trying to play the game and after mapping keys on her keyboard on the menu and going in game, the character auto-blocks but is not responsive to keyboard commands...

We checked for Vjoy in device manager, none found. She has no controllers plugged in USB and we checked Big Picture and found nothing to disable.

Can anyone help?

I recently picked this game up again and i have the same problem now too. my ps4 controller works just fine on other games but in nier ill just autoblock and i cant use my keyboard or mouse. I had to Alt + F4 to close the game.

Since replicant uses auto detect for inputs the game may be taking inputs from something other than the keyboard, for example controller, joystick, steering wheel ... So you could try unplugging anything that could be a potential input.

As for contollers a solution for me was to start the game from big picture mode.

she doesn't have anything like that. All she has is her pc and nothing else, not even Vjoy or things like that. We went through Device Manager and everything.

Don't know if this will help but you can try this

also found out it could be your mouse, I am using a ASUS ROG Chakram wireless mouse and for some odd reason the game was thinking this was a controller. Plug in a regular mouse that I had laying around and the game started to work fine using MnK

its the little analog stick on the chakram doing it, its treated as a controller

which means that i'll need a spare mouse when i get back to finishing this game off

you mean the wheelie??? But every mouse has one of those nowadays, like... we need to have a mouse from the 90's or some ♥♥♥♥ again to be able to play this game correctly? O_o. Like seriously... how is this ♥♥♥♥ still not fixed?

The Chakram mouse has a literal analog stick on it in addition to the scroll wheel (it can also be set to act as a keyboard button press, mine is set to act as arrow keys)

This game is the ONLY game i've run into that has issues with it

that is still weird as f...., hmmm... I'll ask her if she has a spare mouse to see if that solves the issue, but it's just ridiculous. Doesn't Square Enix not care about this game doing well?
