Can't play - can't stop auto-attack

I posted this as a bug report:

What is your character name in New World: Baerie - Ensipe & Berry WIlde - Pratorius?

What server/world did you experience your issue on: Ensipe & Pratorious

Describe the issue you are experiencing: Upon login - after the screen finally loads - I’m just auto attacking and moving forward one step at a time. I can’t hit tab, can’t change weapons, can’t click 3, 4, 5, 6 because I’m basically constantly animated. I can however use special attacks, but then immediately go back to auto-attack. It’s as if my left mouse button is constantly depressed - but it’s not.

  • I do stop auto-attack when I hit escape and open the main menu.
  • I can use chat. I can use the unstuck and teleport from there - as well as logout.
  • Doing unstuck, teleport & logout do not change anything but still work properly themselves.
  • Dying doesn’t fix it either.
  • Restarting the game didn’t change it.
  • Turning everything off on the computer except the basics to play this game didn’t change it.
  • Restarting the computer didn’t change it.
  • I tried changing my attack keybind and I continued the auto-attack animation whether I clicked the new button or not.
  • I can’t craft, harvest, do anything other than swing my weapon.
  • I did steam verify integrity of files, no change.
  • I uninstalled and reinstalled, no change.
  • I tried auto-run and walk buttons, but nothing changes.
  • I am able to activate/deactivate pvp.

Is this a bug or an exploit: BUG

(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: It’s literally unplayable.

(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No.

(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: I think my words explain it best.

What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: No need to reproduce, it’s constant no matter what I do.

Is there anything at all possible support can do so I can actually play again? I think the only thing I haven’t done is start a new character, but honestly, if it’s happening to me on the two servers I already have characters on, after everything else I’ve tried, what is the point?
