cannot move ingame (Mouse and Keyboard)
Just downloaded this and looking forward to it, although I seem to have a massive problem,

I can interact with the menus, change controls, move the mouse freely, but as soon as i get past the first cutscene I can't move? The keyboard and mouse completely lock up, I can't even press escape to access the menu? I have to either alt-tab out or ctrl-alt-del

This happens every time I try to play.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same here. I suspect that it's because some controller sheneningans. I've unplugged mine but it's not working.

Have you got a Razer gaming keypad like the tartatrus, by chance? It didn't work for somebody I know until they unplugged that. Probs the same with other non keyboard input devices.

Im using a wireless Logitech MK270 keyboard and mouse, with no controller plugged in

Happened to me, had a xbox contoller plugged in. Unplugged it and plugged it back in while game was running then everything (controller and keyboard/mouse) started working. No idea but worth a shot.

This game doesn't like controllers at all; I could control with WASD fine but the onscreen UI prompts for Dash/Grenade were all flashing between Xbox prompts and keybinds, along with a 'radial' weapon menu that was constantly flickering onscreen and popping all over the place until I unplugged it.

Yeah, can't get it to register my keyboard or mouse at all ingame.
It registers mouse buttons ingame (not actual camera movement) and and keypresses on the keybind menu (not ingame or any other menu) - but otherwise I've unplugged absolutely everything, including my speakers and it just doesn't alter anything.

This is all kinds of weird and busted, haven't seen these sorts of input issues since GFWL games.

Glad I'm not the only one. No gamepad connected. Wired keyboard, wireless mouse. The right click does ... something. sounds like shooting then a boom. But no movement, no keys at all.

Agreed on the jank but have you tried plugging the controller back in while the game was still running?

Many times.
Replugged the controller, the keyboard, the mouse, the speakers multiple times. Tried running it on a bunch of compatibility modes and in admin mode, tried changing the video mode from fullscreen to windowed, tried just playing with the controller itself (doesn't register either). Alt-tabbing in and out, various clean restarts with nothing plugged in, verified the files, even slapped in dgVoodoo just to see if it did anything.

Nice dice, I'm afraid, but thanks for checking. Ah well, worth a shot. I'll just come back in a day or so and see if the hodgepodge of workarounds people hopefully cobble together do anything. There's no rush.

Tried the restart, and the plugging and unplugging of controls and others stuff, but still can't do anything other than right click once the first level starts.

I hope they sort this out quickly, i was curious to so how the game is.

Same problem here, it seems to only recongnize the right and middle mouse buttons.

Found a solution. on steam game page go to properties, controller and change it to disable steam input.

Did not help unfortunately, I've got a Azeron and a ROG Falchion keyboard with a Elecom trackball and most of the keys on either the keyboard or the controller don't work, not even mouselook works. Oh wait, Alt-F4 does work, wah-wah. Very shoddy effort so far.

I'm having the same issues. For me it appears to be having trouble recognizing the keyboard inputs and detecting if I have a controller or keyboard running. I can't use escape or any of the F keys, but I can throw grenades with Q oddly. Disabling the steam input didn't work but I'm suspecting there must be an interference that is causing the game from detecting the kind of movement input desired.
