Tried it all. I spent an entire weekend trying to fix it. I would return it and get a refund if I could. Oh well....

Try this: https://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-27630.html

Otherwise, your DPI is not set to 100% or some background program is interfering with the game.

Looked at a recent post which recommended changes to beta in the game properties and it worked. I changed it to beta updates. Not sure what difference it makes, but this setting actually function. Thanks!

You have some sort of controller/gamepad plugged-in your system or relevant drivers/software running in the background. This issue is temporary and a fix is coming soon. That's what the beta at Steam is mainly for.
