Re: Keys not recognized on "Press Start" screen

I had this same problem.  What was surprising is it was a bit of a search to come across this thread and how old this thread is and this problem was still a thing....I mean just starting the game and the keys don't work?  That is kind of a big deal.  I backup up/deleted the profile files and then the game started and let me hit space just fine.  Except for the annoying green strobe flashes that threaten to develop epilepsy and migraine headaches...I have to hit alt-tab to switch out and get a desktop back, then maximize the game window to get away from the green.

Update:  That worked exactly once.   The game is back to won't recognize the keyboard input.  I also disabled a second monitor and using only primary (and quite new) monitor.   I've redone the delete the files.  I've tinkered semi randomly with the interior settings like setting the controller profile to 1....no luck with that.

Now I'm at a dead end again...the game is unplayable

I located the issue last night with Teamviewer running I could not access the keyboard in game.   Disabling teamviewer prior to starting the game works.
