    Hello! just want to check in to say that while neither of these solutions worked out for me, I ended up launching the game with an Xbox controller plugged during one of my attempts, and that seemingly bypassed the problem. As long as an Xbox controller is plugged into the pc, the aiming upwards issue is completely bypassed, and I can play with my controller or mouse and keyboard just fine. Having a lot of fun with the game btw! It's great so far.

I really just need to know where the file with the game's settings is located. I believe that would be enough if I just edit out all of the controller binds from there.

    @PurpleStar476370 What you described is half the proposed solution outlined.  Having an xbox controller plugged in seems to stop the upwards input.  With that, try to go into the settings menu and delete the keybind for looking up/down by selecting it and holding ESC.  This way, you should be able to play without needing a controller plugged in all the time.
