Up button is always pressed.

[kaborkian]

In game, the upwards button is constantly pressed and I do not know how to fix it. Please help.

What is your OS?
What do you use to play, controller or keyboard?
Did you ever get a similar problem on another game?
If you use the keyboard and unplug all the controllers, does that help?
If you use the keyboard and change the key bindings for the up button, does that help?

sounds like something a reboot would fix

I use windows 10.
I play with a keyboard.
This problem does indeed happen in other games, though it's not necessarily "up", it can be left, back etc., preventing me from playing the games.
I'm not sure what you mean by "unplug all the controllers". I did try to disconnect and reconnect my keyboard if that's what you meant.
changing key binding does not help (up movement is always pressed).

Thank you for dedicating some of your time to help me. I super appreciate it <3

I would suggest acquiring another keyboard and testing that keyboard to see if the situation remains the same.

I have a similar problem on some games(not with Baba is you though), and the problem was with a contoller, which, for some reason, always sent some inputs.
A solution is to unplug said contoller. If you have one, try that and see if it works.
If it does, it should also solve the problem on other games.

I don't have a controller to try and use it instead. I think the problem is not in my keyboard. I tried to completely disconnect my keyboard and the input was still pressed (up). the problem might be in the game though uninstalling and reinstalling did not help.
Do you think I can get in contact with a developer? maybe he will know the solution...

I don't really have another keyboard to try this :\

If you have the same issue on other games, that the issue isn't with a controller, and isn't with the keyboard, i am beginning to run out of ideas.
Do you have programs other than steam running when you play?
What other games do you have this issue on?
Next time you start your computer, before turing it on, can you unplug the keyboard and keep it unplugged until you can see wether the issue is still there? (probably won't work, but that would confirm that the keyboard is 100% not the issue.)

How about on-screen keyboard?

I hope you can still enjoy the game. It seems you never found a solution to this?

After reading through what you've tried in the topic...
If you're using a laptop, there's a chance that something like a piece of dirt or crumb of food got inside of your laptop's built-in keyboard.

There's no simple solution to this that doesn't risk damaging the keyboard (and be a simple solution) - however, there is an imperfect solution that you can try, which poses no risk to your keyboard.

You can either get a can of compressed air or even just a "baby nasal aspirator" to use for blowing air into the keys and trying to get anything caught in the built-in keyboard array to jump out of the array and stop interfering with your key-presses.

I'd recommend trying the "baby nasal aspirator" first (look it up if you need to) if you can as the air pressure will be lower and overall safer.
If you use a can of compressed air, be very careful with it and make sure you DO NOT blow it into the computer's air-fan / ventilation system as this could damage the ventilation & by object of relation, the computer.

They tried changing the key bindings, and it didn't help. and it isn't always the up button, either. Unless there is something about keyboards i don't know about, I hardly see how it could possibly be a keyboard problem.

Hence why I suggested the keyboard. I've seen this issue before, mainly with laptops.

When food or dirt gets caught in the keyboard it can interfere with the keyboard.
The buttons you see on a keyboard are not actually the buttons that need to be pressed in order to make the keys work / send signal.



The buttons you see as the end-user are just plastic covers that push down on the actual button. As a result, food or dirt can wind its way between these plastic covers and the actual button, causing them to become [invisibly] pressed down, sometimes for perpetual periods of time.
Also, ...being food crumbs or dirt chunks (or some other foreign object), then... as the keyboard is shifted around, the button that the foreign object is interfering with can change as the dirt chunk or crumb moves around underneath the plastic key covers.



It's a lot like when a moving character (that is not YOU) in Baba Is You is pushing things around that change how the rules work as you play but as if that character was set to be something like KEKE IS HIDE while running around and pressing buttons. There's something there / present that is causing this to happen, but you just can't tell / see what is going on, properly.

You COULD remove the keys to your keyboard for a complete cleaning and then reattach them but this method risks permanent damage to the keyboard as the plastic key covers for each letter are easier to pop -into- place than they are to pop -out of- place.

I had a similar issue. Turned out it was a faulty joystick plugged in that caused it. I too suspect faulty input device.

Unfortunately, if that's the case, it's extremely unlikely that he'll be able to fix it without just replacing the keyboard.

...and if the keyboard causing the issue is a built-in laptop array, then the problem only gets all that much more complicated.
I don't even know how you'd go about disabling the built-in keyboard on a laptop if it wasn't functioning properly...

Managed to fix the issue for this and other games.

On the list of active controllers despite not having any plugged in i've had 2 vJoy controllers active. Uninstalling vJoy app from PC fixed issue. It must've been somehow emulating virtual controller despite the fact that app was off.
