Lost control of movement while diving

[KinglyYato]

I've encountered a bug where occasionally after taking damage I lose control of movement and Dave keeps swimming in one direction. I can pause but it shows a different pause screen than usual.
I can still cycle my weapons and items but can't use them.
This has happened a few times today and I think taking damage again will resolve it, but currently this has happened and I'm out of range for any aggressive fish to attack me and just have to wait until I run out of oxygen...

Same thing just happened to me. Frustrating. It was an explosive red jelly for me. Dave even swam into the cut scene for pulling out the stake on top for the sea people

I thought at first it was my controller bugging out, but switched to keyboard and it still happened.
I've done all the story stuff so unfortunately drowning was my only salvation (。_。)
Good to know it isn't just a me issue lol

Exactly the same thing happened to me.

Thanks everyone, we fixed this in today's hotfix, so Dave won't get stuck swimming in one direction anymore. If it happens again after the update, we'd be grateful if you'd let us know.

Googled this because it just happened to me, wish I knew what happened since wife rolled on controller 😅 came out of the ship wreck and was swimming up and she booped controller and Dave got stuck in an animation, almost like fidgeting with something in his hand. Could change equipment but only got the minimal pause menu and had zero action control.

Just found this via Google. On ps5 and have the same issue. Currently very slowly drowning. And the minimal pause screen.

Apologies I hadn't thought to record the issue 😭 if it happens again I'll be sure to do that!

As for what we were doing, game was unpaused and the controller was hit so I suspect some button combination caused the freeze.

This was near the yellow shipwreck, out of combat, about all the info I can provide there unfortunately.

get stuck all the time now. almost every time i press up or down, when there is anytime to do there. pickup, catch, enter, use(able to use x button)

almost never get stuck when swimming in open water, but as soon as i get to a pick up or anything that makes the x button usably i happens.

same with farm, do not get stuck while walking, but as soon as a get to picking up something he keep walking.

happens every time on Smartphone, do not happen when using d-pad

on pc with xpox x(cable) controller

ps. amazing game though. really want to play more. :D
