Bug causing game controls to break.

[HyperVirusProfi]

This bug has been reported quite a while ago and more than once but we’ve finally managed to pin it down.

The bug occurs during gameplay: either some or all controls stop working entirely. Key rebinding doesn't help, and the settings reset every time; the only fix is ​​to restart or re-enter the game. Additionally, one user encountered a situation where, instead of the issues described above, the in-game control inputs would switch to the last key pressed once all actions were completed. Notably, no actions were performed on the game files or the game itself other than standard gameplay.

I should mention that the bug usually doesn't trigger any error messages, though this instance seems to be an exception.

The initial investigation suggests that the loss of control may be caused by a sudden change of the player's GUID for an unknown reason.

The provided log contains a Data\Var\DefaultPlayer.var, which is used in LoadPlayer(). This message appears only when the *.plr file for the current player 0 cannot be read, which could explain the GUID change. Does your log contains any messages like Cannot update character - different GUID before control loss?

Artificially locking the *.plr file during gameplay reproduces the issue, but only after manually changing a key binding. However, the actual cause remains unknown, so additional information, cases and reproduction steps are needed for further investigation.

Rn my guess is that the issue is related to your setup. It could be disk errors or UAC-related behavior when the game is installed inside a user folder.

Try the following:

• Install the game outside of any user-managed folders (e.g. outside C:\Users\SNIPER).
• If multiple users run the game from the same installation simultaneously, try using a separate game installation for each user.
• Check windows event viewer for disk-related errors occurring when the issue happens.
• Try a different physical drive, if available.
