this is an edit: i have tried all the different inputs that the controls menu tells me will make me move left, but none of them work.

Hi there,

Sorry to read you're experiencing this. I believe this topic right here is from a user who had the same problem: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/1115050/discussions/0/3878218563591543910/
Hope that'll help you.

Take care =)

thank you very much for your response, however, the person who posted that topic was playing on an Xbox. I am not playing on an Xbox because i downloaded this game on steam on a pc. I did try to verify the files, but it didn't help. i also tried to delete and download the game again, and i tried to verify the files again as well, but it didn't help at all. my drivers are up to date, and i have tried restarting both steam and my computer. i am still experiencing this issue after doing all of these things.

Hi there,

I do believe they were just playing using an Xbox controller - not on an actual Xbox.

Are you playing with your keyboard or a controller? If you're using a controller then the comment on that topic could help you; click on Steam in the top left corner, then Settings, click on the Controler tab, and enable whichever option corresponds to your controller "Enable Steam input for X"

That should fix it.

Keep us updated!

Take care!

thank you very much. i did kind of just assume he was on xbox, which is my fault. it did fix the issue.
