Can't move, keyboard bug

[Gixkung]

Sometime i switch screen, or shift+tab then i can't press anything (wasd,esc) only mouse can use.

[Wingnut]

I'm getting the same issue.

[Chrono Crest]

For me it's either that or the mouse stops working or both.

Same here, either keyboard or mouse or both of them stop working sometimes whenever I shift+tab or alt+tab

[鬼椒]

I've gotten the same issue all I could do is ALT+F4. Mouse look would work but after tabbing in from being active on another window the game wouldn't respond to input.

Only happens when the game leaves fullscreen when you tab out. I don't have issues if the game remains in fullscreen. As long as what ever I'm tabbing to is active on my other monitor RE2 doesn't leave fullscreen.

Well you're not alone there mate, have to quit the game and relaunch it in order to work needless to say some progress were loss.

[Murdock]

The workaround I found for this is to:
1. Press Esc to pause the game.
2. Press Shift + tab twice to open and close the overlay.
3. Now check if the mouse responds by clicking on load and or options on the pause menu and it should open that respective menu.

If it does, the mouse is working. If not, (if clicking it does nothing) Just open and close the overlay again until it does.

[Wrathra]

The solution I use is just unplugging and replugging the mouse or keyboard back in. (Whichever one isn't functioning)

[Wrathra]

It beats closing the game

Issue is still present in 2020.

Thanks to the suggestion @Wrathra I managed to fix this by unplugging and plugging the device (keyboard) back in.

Wayy better than closing/restarting the game.

i'm also on a laptop. Mouse was working but keyboard was non-responsive. What worked for me was unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in.

All you guys need to do is click on the friends window in the steam overlay and your inputs will work again. That's what I do when this happens. Always fixes it.

Unplugging and replugging keyboard worked for me
