HUB Computer Kicks Me Out
So I have instances of this happening in Multiplayer and Single player. i will quickly state I had all default controls EXCEPT my crouch was set to C and my show card set to Mouse Button 2.

When I whent into the MEG base in the hub to access "Gate.exe" it would not allow me to type in the password. After I would type in the "u" in "itheardyou" it would kick me out as if I interacted with the computer. The only temporary fix i found was I had to completely restore all of my controls to default.

If i can have some help understanding what is going wrong I would LOVE to know as it has infuriated me.

Please and thank you, have a wonderful day!

Rebinding Controls seems to be slightly glitchy as of the current patch (it always resets my Inventory key to "Empty" even though the "Tab" key still works just fine).

I tried to replicate your problem, but I've had no success.

In Multiplayer, did *you* host the game or did someone else do it?
Do you by chance have anything else that uses the Interact key or the "u" key as a hotkey?
Also what kind of keyboard / keyboard layout do you use? Might be worth checking out.
Worst case scenario you should try to verify the Game Files and see if it fixes the problem.

I hosted the multiplayer game

I had not had anything mapped to U before the post. I belive I did originally but changing all of my prompts off of U did not fix the issue at the time

The real life keyboard i had was a "Razer" keyboard. As for my layout it was mostly similiar except maybe a few changes here and there but if I remember correctly I did not change controls till afterwords.

I'm the multiplayer game, I did multiplayer before single player, the gate just allowed itself to be open so I never had to do gate.exe so idk.

I will attempt to get a video of it and share it if the issue reappears for me
In your multiplayer games, did the gate immediatly allow itself to be opened before you went to the hub, or did someone else do "Gate.exe" before you continued?

If it's before, then you might want to verify Game Files and make sure your Graphics Drivers are up to date, just to be sure.

In the multiplayer game it only allowed my player 2 (not me the host though) to access gate.exe after we reset the game real quick. beforehand it would not allow us to flick the switch

In the singleplayer tha gate would not open until i did gate.exe which took me completely resetting my controls to default

In both instance it took me messing with the computer for the game to allow me to the flick the switch and not before doing gate.exe
It's good that you / your player 2 had to start Gate.exe first before flicking the switch, as that is the intended progression.

Do you by chance have the VHS filter enabled in-game?
Did your Player 2 also have problems with accessing Gate.exe?
Also did you have issues similar to this in other games?

I did not have the vhs filter but my player two had the semi-vhs filter (can't think of the name but where it displays the date but doesn't have the visual effect) on both when it was a problem for him and he accessed it.

At first, yes they did also have the same problem of not being able to access Gate.exe or the computer as a hole but after the restart he was able to.

No, I don't believe I have had a similar issue to a phantom button press or something like that in other games.
Does the game also throw you out when you have different keys bound?
(as in, instead of binding "C" and "Mouse 2", you'd bind something like "F" and "M" to either the same controls or different controls)?

If it only happens to you when you have "C" bound to crouch and "Mouse 2" to showing the keycard, then you should probably tell the Developer that through their Discord Server or Twitter, as there might be some weird compatibility issue going on either between the game and you, or the game and the way Keys are bound.
