Overlay eating inputs for a nonsensical value, "VK_GAMEPAD_RIGHT_THUMBSTICK_LEFT"

[ninozivkovic13-coder]

Bug

Operating system: Win10
Game version: 2.31
CET version: 1.37.0 - patch 2.31
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

Description

After updating Cyberpunk 2077 to patch 2.31, CET loads successfully (overlay appears with “Keybind overlay: ?”), but:

bindings.json is filled with invalid values (gamepad axis IDs, or long numbers like 61361544922923008).

Manual edits (e.g. VK_OEM_3) are ignored.

Inputs are not passed to either CET or the base game.

global.ini is never generated.

Expected behaviour

Capture a valid keyboard key for the overlay toggle.

Generate a valid bindings.json with that key.

Pass all other inputs through to Cyberpunk.

Generate global.ini on first launch.

Reproduction

Install CET v1.37.0.

Launch the game.

Overlay prompt appears: “Keybind overlay: ?”.

Press any keyboard key.

Inspect bindings.json and test input.

Result: Invalid binding values are written, manual fixes are ignored, and no input is passed to game or CET.

If you are the one from Discord, believe we concluded this is some HW/SW issue (seems like SW considering what we tried)

But we should blacklist some keys anyway as mentioned so marking as bug.

It seems like this for every version. I've been playing on 2.3 and was able to replicate this too, it just blocks any input until you tab back in.
