Can't get past privacy policy

[Atlessa]

Game just doesn't recognize my mouse it seems. The circular cursor stays pinned in the middle of the screen.
Also the policy scrolls automatically.


No, I will NOT unplug any of my other input devices. It's ridiculous that this kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is still happening in 2024!

Yeah same issue here

Similar issue circular cursor is stuck at the bottom at the policy screen and this is after trying the suggested fixes

This will resolve itself if left to load as it needs. This could take from 2 minutes to 20 minutes but will only need to be done once 🤞

For anyone wanting to get straight back into PowerWash Simulator, clearing your save file is known to fix all these issues, but you will lose all progress and be starting from the beginning.

I left the game for almost an hour didn't fix so went with delete the saves nothing and tried uninstall reinstall but my cursor is still stuck because the save are gone it's now doing it at the policy screen

TBH completely pissed because I've deleted all my progress for absolutely no reason it seems.

{Update}
tried my controller the circular cursor is stuck at the bottom of the screen with my controller i can move it left and right but thats it updated my post to reflect this originally thought it was just getting stuck as it was not responding to mouse

{Update 2}
Solved my issue turns out it's an old issue with having a steering wheel plugged in only got it recently and hadn't played since i got it, i disconnected it started the game was fine reconnected with game open problem recreated (thankfully it has a quick disconnect just at the back of the wheel) and i agree we shouldn't have to do this

i don't have anything plugged in and cant use my mouse either

Since the last dlc I have the privacy policy every time I launch the game and while I play my character moves slowly and starts aiming at the sky on its own which makes the game unplayable.
The more new DLC the game has, the more it messes up.
I play with a controller.

in case this isnt fixed, maybe plug a controller in and try it that way? since you refuse to unplug all other inputs except mouse and keyboard

I HAVE a controller plugged in. That's precisely the issue here. I don't WANT the game to listen to my controller, but deves never consider this to be an option. "Oh your Xinput device says x-axis poiting down? Aight, moving the cursor down!" ♥♥♥♥♥ that "Xinput device" is a gas pedal for sim racing, it doesn't return to 128 it returns to 0, can I PLEASE disable this and just use my mouse?!


Edit: I mean how hard can it be to code a "press ESC to disable controller input" kind of thing for these screens, and then a proper toggle somewhere in the options menu?

I dont know, I dont know how to code or make games. if you do, though, I think they may be hiring. until then, the general workaround is to unplug all inputs but mouse and keyboard
