Controls Issue Laptop

[Dannybongo]

Hi All,

Just bought the game but having issues. Firstly, when on the menu, I found that the menu keep scrolling, as if i was holding my finger on the up/down arrow. Anyway i started a game and found the character kept running to the left. I remapped the keyboard to a WASD format, and this solved the issue. However, now the when the character is stationary, the camera is looking down at the ground. Can anyone help please? I can still play the game but its inconvenient. Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S i'm playing this on a laptop.

Thx

Dan

Try disabling Native Controller Input (Beta) in the options and Steam Input for Hollow Knight (Hollow Knight > Properties > Controller > Disable Steam Input), and see if this issue still persists.

What other controllers or USB devices you have connected?

Hi Renzo. Native Controller Input (Beta) is already disabled. I have a USB wireless mouse plugged in but i have tried unplugging that and the issue still persists.

I was wondering if its something on laptop like a setting locked into place or something, although seems unlikely. I was a playing a different 2D platformer today with no issues

Cheers for your reply!

Hi, no problem!
That is really curious. Maybe Verifying integrity of game files can help? (and restarting the system for good measure)

Try checking the latest public beta if it didn't help (pinned topic).

So i verified the game files and restarted my PC. Still no luck, Menu is still scrolling and what also strange is that all one of the remapped keys W was reverted back to its original binding which was the up arrow. This must be linked into the issue although i have no idea what the root cause is.

Solved the issue! Tried switching Native Controller Input (Beta) on out of curiosity and this fix it. I figured this option was just for control pad related issues. Its fixed the issue anyway. Thanks for your help!

Nice! Glad that it works.
For the remapped keys I think that you have to remap them from the main menu. When you remap them from the pause menu while the save is loaded, they won't save.
