Hey guys,
thank you so much for giving Bear With Me a chance and for reporting these issues back to us. We understand a lot of you have the problem with your joystick/controller being recognized as a primary input and we are currently working on this issue. It will probably be fixed in the upcoming patch but until then, you can try something else first:
Please check if your steam app is working in
Big Picture Mode. If that's the case for some of you, this could be the problem why Steam recognizes your controller as the primary input and also why it recognizes your USB mouse/keyboard as a controller too. If you have Big Picture Mode turned on try disabling it first and run the game normally after and see if the issue persists.
Please let us know if this helped, at least until the official patch is out.
Thank you for your support and patience.
BWM team.
