Troubleshoot the tutorial, controller or game version

Start with the Tape to Tape symptom you can actually reproduce. These guides distinguish a reported game-state or binding problem from an unsupported claim that every input or installation needs resetting.

Match the symptom to the narrowest recovery

  • Stuck at skill activation and Escape does nothing: see the original poster’s tutorial exit/relaunch workaround.
  • D-pad works, Windows sees the stick, but the game ignores it after a controller swap: see the confirmed in-game binding refresh.
  • Already owned Early Access but still seeing an old-build message: check ownership, the launched app and the public update before buying anything.

Keep a useful failure report

Record your platform, installed version, device and what changed immediately before the fault. Use the completion check on the relevant page before trying another unrelated fix. None of these sources calls for deleting your save.
