The Genesis Order: Genesis Order (and Treasure of Nadia) Cursor Bug. (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Disconnect any connected gamepads, joysticks, or controllers from your computer. Disable Steam Input for the game if the issue persists.
How to fix it
- Unplug any external gamepads, joysticks, or controllers that are connected to your PC.
- Launch the game and see if the cursor/character movement returns to normal.
- If the problem persists, open Steam’s library, right‑click The Genesis Order (or Treasure of Nadia), choose Properties → Controller, and set Steam Input to Disabled.
- Restart the game after changing the setting.
If it still doesn't work
- Try disconnecting other USB devices that could emulate input (e.g., steering wheels, flight sticks).
- Close any third‑party mouse or keyboard software that might interfere with input handling.
- Verify the game files through Steam to ensure no corrupted assets are causing the issue.
- Reinstall the game as a last resort, making sure no controllers are attached during installation.
What players reported
I am having a problem with this game from install and trying to start playing. The cursor/character movement gets stuck in the down position and will not move any other direction. This makes the game unplayable Genesis Order from the beginning and Treasure of Nadia after many hours of game play is when it started, them seemed to carry over to the Genesis Order. This makes no sense to me since…
What players suggest
Given only you experience it then it suggests it's something to do with your machine, e.g. a peripheral you've got plugged in, driver software for your mouse/keyboard or other third party software that doesn't play well with the game engine (as both games use the same engine). Basically you need to try disabling and unplugging things to see if it fixes it.
Did you ever find the solution? I'm running into the same issue and it's making the game unplayable
