Let's try a couple of things...

1. Remove Bepinex (or whatever you use to manage your mods) and the outdated HD mod. The easiest step is to just uninstall the game, manually delete the game folder, and then reinstall the game. This is on the notion you installed the mods directly into the game folder, instead of in its own external folder.

2. Make sure all of your USB game pads and joysticks are unplugged. If you have Bluetooth devices, disconnect all of them for now.

PS: Just saw Woz's response before mine. If only Steam responses are updated live. ^_^
