Steps to Reproduce

  1. Try to rebind a few mouse buttons and keyboard keys some times and fail at it because of other bugs
  2. At some point, out of frustration, press ALT-F4 while the "press a button to bind it" is still on screen
  3. Reopen the game and try to play a match or jump into the practice arena
  4. You'll notice the game still reads mouse movement and adjusts the aim normally, but it ignores any mouse or keyboard button presses for movement
  5. Verify that, despite ignoring all mouse and keyboard buttons for in-game actions, the game still responds to the enter key for opening the chat window, and all keys work normally inside the chat window
  6. Completely erase the game config folder "PortalWars2" and verify that it does not solve the issue
  7. Reinstall the game and verify it does not solve the issue
  8. Install the game on a completely different operating system (Bazzite Linux, a Fedora-based distro) and verify that the issue is still there
  9. Open the game's log file and verify that there's a message that reads "LogEnhancedInput: Error: [SetInputMode] Null player input, unable to set the input mode to '(GameplayTags=((TagName="InputMode.KBM")))'" and is probably related to the issue.

Explanation

Game does not recognize button inputs on KB/Mouse, no matter the operating system it is being ran on.
