Delete the game and install again
Replace save file to not to lose it
Thank you for all your help so far. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked.
I uninstalled and then deleted the game before downloading and installing it again. I also used the game settings to lower resolution and frame rate to see if that would do anything. Unfortunately, nothing worked and the movement control freezing problem persists for me. I genuinely don't have a clue what's causing it.
