Mouse works in menus, but will not turn the view?
Checked October 16, 2026 · Full game · Source-based guide
For that specific after-load symptom, one player reports that switching away and back with Alt-Tab eventually lets the mouse work again. Zukureneno says menus, inventory, Codex and crafting still respond while the game view does not. No reply confirms the cause or a permanent repair.[1]
First check that the symptom matches
This account concerns mouse look after loading a save. It does not describe the Steam Deck right-stick deadzone, all mouse buttons failing, or a co-op guest unable to move. Those need different checks.
A reversible window-focus comparison
- Note the version and whether menu movement still works. Do not change or delete the save for this check.
- Switch to another window with Alt-Tab, then return to the game and compare camera movement. This is the action the player reports, not a guaranteed shortcut or measured number of retries.
- If it does not help, keep that outcome in the report. If it helps only briefly, describe it as temporary; the source does not establish a lasting fix.
What to report if it continues
Include platform, input device, display mode, whether it starts immediately after loading, whether menus still work, and whether refocusing changes it. Send a short clip to Raw Fury Support Desk (external, opens in a new tab) rather than installing an unrelated fix on this evidence.
SINGLE_SOURCE Steam report, October 15–16 display range; exact operating system and patch unspecified. Alt-Tab is the reported desktop action. No console workaround, tested mod or confirmed root cause is claimed.
