LMB not working for attack or placement

1

Basic Info:

Platform: Steam
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Private
Server Type: PvE
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: All of them, does not matter
Mods: Happens with or without mods

Bug Description:

Cannot use LMB for attack, placement etc., only for menu navigation. Reassigning it works but it’s unplayable that way

Bug Reproduction:

Just happened randomly earlier today. Tried killing character, deleting character, restarting owned server, joining official server with no mods (same prob), joining other private servers with both mods and vanilla. Also tried verifying game files and uninstalling & reinstalling the entire game… nothing worked :(.

Greetings Exile,

Thank you for your report. By any chance, do you use any software aside to assist with its configuration?
If so, have you tried updating it or disabling it while you tested it in-game?

We await your reply.

Thank you Mayra. I do not use any additional software with my mouse, it is a regular corded USB mouse. I also tried another spare mouse I have and the issue persists. I have confirmed left click works as intended in other UE4 games such as Ark. Let me know if I can provide any more information and I appreciate your response :slight_smile:

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. When you check the keybindings settings what do you see in the attack slot if you restore it to default?

Have you tried to reassign the key to the LMB itself again?

We hope to hear back from you.

When I restore to default, it returns to LMB, but LMB does not work. If I change it to something else, such as hyphen (-) or any other key, it does work. I have tried assigning attack to another key, and then changing it back to LMB, but it did not work. Unfortunately no other keys I’ve tried are convenient enough for attack to where I can respond as quickly and not die :sweat_smile:

Hey,

We appreciate your patience while we try to troubleshoot this issue.
Could you perform one last test before we proceed?

Please delete the following files
In:
Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

you should delete “Input.ini”

And in:

steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Config

you should delete “DefaultInput.ini”.

Once both are deleted completely, try to verify files and once it’s done give it a try in-game.

We hope this does the trick. :slight_smile:
