Escape the Backrooms: Can't Bind Controls, Stuck with Crouch and No Esc Menu. (Fix)
Short answer
The solution is to remove the "Backrooms" folder in %USER%/AppData/Local/. It's a conflict with another game with the same folder name that causes it.
Why it happens
This issue happens because of a conflict with another game that uses the exact same folder name in your local application data directory.
How to fix it
- Press your Windows key and open your file browser.
- Navigate to your local application data directory by typing
%USER%/AppData/Local/in the path. - Locate the folder named "Backrooms" and completely remove it.
- Launch the game again to check if your escape menu and keybinds work.
If it still doesn't work
- Verify your game files through Steam, restart your computer, or completely uninstall and reinstall the game.
- Try changing your monitor display settings down to 1080p and 60hz before reinstalling and launching the game.
- Check your antivirus protection history to ensure the game files or folders are not being blocked or quarantined.
- Try running the game with administrator privileges.
- Try restoring the settings to default within the game menu, though note that this may not resolve issues with changing older keybinds for some players.

Other suggestions
I searched my PC via file browser for AppData/Local/Backrooms, and it doesnt exist on my PC (Seems like it could be core problem). Then I checked antivirus protection history which came up with nothing. Then lastly I ran the game as admin, no change. I hope this is just a me issue lol I break all my games rip
