Game is accepting input from nonexistant device and is infinitely scrolling up on start
Enter Windows Device Manager and disable devices[citation needed] |

When you reopen the game after you have disabled the device, the scrolling should stop and everything should work as normal.

Framerate dies when walking through grass
Disable vsync[citation needed] |

This game really doesn't like vsync (at 60 fps at least). It can also cause other types of slowdown-related bugs. You can try to alleviate screen tearing by locking fps to 58.
