WASD Keys Stop working after deleting object

When I enter build mode in a new home and delete an object, the WASD keys no longer work in any mode afterwards (100% of the time). Interestingly enough sometimes it seems like it registers my WASD keystrokes but will "jump" a unit over. Sometimes, if I'm really lucky--the WASD will not work on start (10% of the time). 

List of things I've done:

  • Exited the world and returned (the WASD keys still don't work)
  • Switched between camera views (WASD works in free mode but that doesn't really help me when I'm working in build mode).
  • Restarted the game, WASD works until I delete an object again.
  • Switched keyboards from bluetooth to wired.
  • Removed all mods from the game, the bug persists.
  • Repaired and reinstalled the game.
  • Went through the annals of forum posts and deleted any other language keyboard outside of US-English, and the problem persists.

This is super frustrating and I'm absolutely not going to reformat my computer to see if this fixes the problem. Even a restart of my computer does not fix the problem. 

I've attached a video that showcases the WASD not working on start, me restarting the game and then it not working after I deleted an object in build mode. You can even see it jump as I try and press the WASD keys.

  • trydain384​ I did some testing and had no problem with WASD keys after deleting anything.  I suspect the issue is specific to your computer.  One thing it could be is that you may have some type of keyboard mapping overlay for another program that is interfering.  Otherwise, I've no clue to what could be causing the issue for you.  

    Hope this helps.
