Left hand items not working with Xbox controller

[healeyjohn2]

I’m 22 hours into the game. Everything was working perfectly but suddenly I can’t use any of my left hand items (bow, torch, shield). When I press LB or LT my right hand moves instead of my left. I have no idea how to fix this. I’ve searched online and people mention disabling Steam input, but it’s already disabled. The game is unplayable now. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Are you sure you arent two handing?

If not, maybe you could recalibrate the controller, by making your PC forget it and calibrating it again.

Theres also Veryfing the Files of the game.

R u sure the button are working properly? or if you accidentally changed keybindings in settings. Just try enabling steam input just incase if that works

I warped to a different area on the map and everything worked normally. The buttons worked perfectly.

I then went back to the place I was originally, by the shore harvesting Four-toed Fowl Foots with my bow, and the same problem with my left hand occurred. It seems specific to that area, even though I used my bow with my left hand there multiple times before today without an issue. Very strange. I switched the bow to my right hand and that worked. Hopefully the glitch is only limited that area.

Thats definitely not normal.

Try Verifying the Files of the game, if not, you might straight up need to reinstall the game.

I’m a noob when it comes to PC gaming. How do Verify the Files of the game and reinstall the game? Thank you for your help.

Go to the settings of the game in the Steam Manager, it looks like a gear.

Click on Properties, from there go to Installed Files, there should be an option to "Verify Integrity of the Files" in there, click on it and let it run for a couple of mins.

Also from Settings > Manage > Uninstall.

If it comes to that.
