Can't fire/attack.

Just bought this game yesterday and everything works fine except firing/attacking ingame.
I've tried restarting my computer, repairing the game and even tried binding fire to a key on keyboard and still nothing. T_T
I'm not using a controller, don't have one plugged in and no mapping software running. No bluetooth devices. I tried plugging in a controller and the game doesn't detect it. Tried turning off origin ingame, tried running as admin and repairing and still no change.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    @EsperEyes Thank you, that's interesting. 

    I have seen some rare issues where a game might interpret a keyboard as a gamepad, leading to all sorts of oddness. Can you unbind the rightmost value for Fire, which should default to gamepad trigger 2? In fact I'd go an unbind all the gamepad controls listed.

    Hopefully this will help, but if the issue still persists we're going to try reset the settings files. These can persist through a reinstall so could be the source of the issue. 

    Navigate to My Documents\PVZ Garden Warfare and make a backup of the Settings folder. Once this is done (and making sure the game is closed) delete the original copy and launch the game again. And this point I hope the issue will have ceased.

    I also ran into this problem, left mouse click not shooting (on Logitech wireless mouse/keyboard combo). Turned out to be the Logitech (Extreme 3D) Joystick. It was plugged in with the profiler software running in the system tray (although I have no profiles configured). Closing the profiler wasn't enough, only after unplugging the joystick from the usb port, the mouse worked properly in PvZ GW I

    It might work with the joystick plugged in and a proper profile configured, but I'm not looking into that. Unplugging the joystick is faster :-)
