If you're experiencing issues right after launching the game—such as no sound or controller input not working—it may be caused by external software or configuration conflicts. Below are some common cases and how to address them.
No Sound
Some antivirus or security software (e.g., Norton) may block the game's audio output, preventing sound from playing properly.
Additionally, running DAW software or virtual audio devices can interfere with normal sound playback.
How to Fix
- Add the game’s executable to your antivirus or security software’s exception list.
- Try temporarily disabling the antivirus software.
- Restarting your PC may also resolve the issue.
- Close any music production software or virtual audio drivers.
Controller Not Working
If you're using any of the following controllers, Steam Input compatibility issues may be causing the game to behave unexpectedly:
- Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
- PlayStation 5 (DualSense) Controller
Examples of Symptoms
- Controller input works intermittently
- Button mappings are incorrect
- Stick inputs behave erratically
How to Fix
In the Steam client, go to Settings → Controller → General Controller Settings, and try disabling Steam Input support for your controller.
