Can't pick up items or open containers

Platform: PC

Steps To Reproduce: From beginning of first character.

Players in your game: Solo

Specifications: Right from the beginning I’ve been unable to pick up any items. The flashlight, gun, bandages, etc in first house I cannot pick up, nor anything else. I hold E to interact and the bar goes almost all the way then it stops. I keep trying but it does the same thing every time.

I can’t open any containers either. I.e. bags in cars and chests in buildings the same thing happens when trying to pick up items - the progress bar when holding E goes almost the end then stops.

When it comes to interaction with doors I have to be at a certain distance from them. Not too close, not too far. Not sure if it’s a bug but it’s very annoying.

I’ve tried making a new character but same thing happened.

Any help?

Cheers
