These are not the bugs I came here to kill...
Inability to move, locked framerate, weird audio issues...did the devs even bother with play-testing the Steam production build?

Game works fine for me

Same. Works nice. Have some transition stutters (e.g. transition from game to cutscenes), but everything else is seems fine.

Yeah, something definitely isn't right here. I've repaired, reinstalled and disabled GSync. I'm using 536.23 and have been playing Diablo 4, Farcry 6 and Midnight Suns with absolutely zero problems over the past week.

This is freshly imaged W11 Pro machine with an 8700K, RTX3090, 64GB DDR4, 2TB NVME

I can't even start the campaign because the main character is stuck on the bridge. Mouse and keyboard controls simply do not work....bizarre

The game have a habit to lock interface in tutorials (prologue is this). And you need to move to EXACTLY lighted spot or hit a right skill. Try again, maybe?

What about stuttering in general? It's not a "secret" anymore that Unreal Engine 4 is stuttery as f*ck with most games.

I've bug hunted, pardon the pun lol, this specific issue and created some videos showing the issue and the cause of the issue is most likely down to rebinding the interact key/button

I'm having a blast, I'm "bug" free :-)

I also had the inability to move bug, had to restart the game twice before it let me do what I had to do. It happened when forced to interact with something.

Lol, but it was same for me. Had to use mouse in tutorial. On the first mission hotkeys start working. And i've not rebound anything.

As i said, occational stutters. Not really a big deal, seen worse. And also it mostly happen in tutorial, which is cutscene-heavy.
Running on i9-9900k, 32ram, 3800 @ 4k ultra. On decent SSD.

Really only cutscene related? May I ask you at what monitor refresh rate you are playing? Sorry for the questions, but I have become super suspicious and apprehensive about UE4 games due to all the bad releases in the last couple of years.

Native 60hz, with in-game v-sync on (to get rid of tearing).
game works fine with me only thing i have an issue with is the frame rate drop in the cutscenes/stuttering besides that no issue in gameplay

During the tutorial after a cut scene if you revisit the map the game goes black, it's not frozen, but nothing is visible and no combo of keys or mouse clicks gets you out except ESC - reload.

Plugged in my XBox controller, which it detects, but I still can't move or progress through the campaign. None of the controller buttons function either.

When i grab the mouse while the controller is still active, I do get a green cursor when it's hovering over Makeo, if I move it anywhere else on the screen I get a red X

I see a lot of chatter about keybinds, I haven't altered them in anyway, they're still set to defaults.
