cant get past the title screen

[tschhh]

hello, have an issue, all i get is the title screen, no key or mouseclick will advance me past the title screen, but alt F4 does work to close the game. it worked last time i played it. Did verify files, and then tried reinstalling it to no avail.

Are you getting a ? symbol instead of the C key prompt?

[tschhh]

Omg... I feel like an idiot, c works, sorry, thank you.

C key is not working for me, I'm using Mac! Any thing I can do?

If there is a ? symbol instead of the C key prompt, try changing your language to english.

yeah, that doesn't help, I can't get into the menu to change the language, and I am already on English! But thank you for the reply.

I meant changing the language on Steam, but if it's already on English, then i'm a bit lost.
Could you post a screenshot of the screen you get stuck on?

I see that you have Everest. Did it work before you installed Everest/Olympus?

[De_Life_Stream]

it worked fine before and after... let me try uninstalling it

I uninstalled both Celeste and Olympus, downloaded Celeste again and still the same

I don't think this itself would be the issue, but the screen still shows that you have FMOD live update on. Maybe try going into the settings.celeste file in your saves folder, then checking if "LaunchInDebugMode" is set to true at the bottom. You could also turn off "LaunchWithFMODLiveUpdate" too since you probably don't need it.

When did the problem start, then? Is there anything that might be related?

Could you check the settings.celeste file (same as the one Duckboycool mentioned), and see which keys are bound to confirm? In the file, it should be right below :

  <Confirm>
    <Keyboard>

Save file and settings locations :

Linux filepath : home/.local/share/Celeste/
Filepath for... Mac? : ~/Library/Application Support/Celeste/
Windows filepath : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Celeste\

Yes, that was it, all the layout I had previously is wiped for some reason. And the controller can be used to navigate Steam but not the game for some reason. When I want to map the keys ion the game, it says please plug in a controller even though the controller is plugged and functional! The only reason I could come up with is that I plugged in the PS5 duel sense edge for the first time and it might have messed things up.

Anyway, thank you guys for all the guidance, I really appreciate it @Perseus & @Duckboycool

Just to confirm, does this mean that your issue is solved?

I probably know why.

Celeste dosen't have support for Mouse Inputs, only for controllers and keyboards inputs, so you can't play with mouse in Celeste (only with mods or third party services)
