I am having an issue with the controls while playing the game on an Android tablet via Steam Link. The game plays fine this way until you are in the vicinity of a hostile enemy. I believe this happens when you enter into the hostile enemies' "detection range", if that makes sense.
What's happening is any time you are attacked, aggro or just close to a hostile enemy, the mouse and keyboard become in a "stuck" state. I'll try to explain the best I can because I haven't made sense of it completely myself. The keyboard becomes unresponsive and will lock itself into the last action you were performing when it locks up, meaning if you were walking forward then you are stuck walking forward. No other keys work and I have not found any solution to manually wake it back up. The mouse on the other hand will become partially unresponsive, you wont be able to look around, cant perform click actions like shooting, however most times you are able to switch to different items on the hotbar via scroll wheel. This lock up seemingly decides at random how long its going to last, could be 3 seconds, could be 10. After the controls lock up and then return function, they seem to work ok for a short time (provided you've survived this long), however if a new hostile enemy becomes in range, it may start all over. If you are lucky during this time to be clicking wildly and occasionally those inputs get passed through and you manage to kill the enemy attacking you, the controls will almost instantly be returned to normal.
Technical Notes:
Playing PC V2.5 via Steam Link
Samsung Tab 5e Android 11 Tablet
Keyboard/Mouse via USB C host cable on a 2-in 1 USB wireless dongle.
Playing on a private hosted server, no mods on server or client.
I primarily play games remotely via Steam Link. This is an isolated issue to this game that isn't experienced on other games. I would love to try using an xbox controller via Bluetooth to see if its isolated to keyboard and mouse but i cant get the game to recognize the controller via Steam Link.
