game keeps clicking by its self, how do i resolve this?

i was at the first scene of the farm when i decided i wanted to change outfit for the scene so i closed the game in order to load a save where i could change. however upon relaunching, the game started repeatedly clicking. i tried creating a separate folder with the original archive but the problem persisted, so i'm assuming it's either a problem with the save or something wrong with my pc, the latter is more likely as i experienced a very similar when playing a cyoa called project harahel and after modding a game called worldbox. if it does end up being a problem on my end i would appreciate it if i could still get some help with resolving it as this has been a problem  bothering me for a few months now however until now it had never rendered a game unplayable.

To begin with there is no need for the large bold text, regardless of how difficult the problem you are dealing with, and second this is not the best place to be asking for computer help.

Aside from pointing out the obvious there are some things you can try to narrow down the source of the problem:

Unplug everything form your computer that's not required to function - should be something like a keyboard, mouse, screen, the computer case and internals - does the problem persist ?

If it does it might be a software problem.

If it does not it looks like it was a hardware problem - something that was plugged in might have had a button stuck.

If unplugging anything unnecessary for computer operation did not work get the most up to date definitions for your security software and disconnect form the internet and run a full scan to ether remove or reduce the probability its some sort of malware - does the problem persist ?

If it does then the problem lies elsewhere.

If its fixed then it may have been some malware causing problems.

So if the problem persists after those two steps then I'm inclined to think the cause is some  software installed on the device - check your add/remove programs list for anything you don't recognize and google it - one of those might be causing the problem - is the problem still there ?.

If the problem is still there then I have one other then that can be tried and probably could have been tried earlier:

Boot the computer into safe mode and see if the problem is still there - if it is there might be something wrong with your operating system and if there is it might be reparable if you are unable to backup what you want to keep and start fresh but a nuke and reinstall of the operating system does tend to fix a number of stubborn software problems.

the reason for the text is that i posted it on the wrong place before so i copy pasted it and it turned out big and bold like that and god knows i am not typing all that out again. also this is my first time using this site and my first time asking for tech help on the internet so i am unsure of where to post something like this.

in the previous games it happened in it only occurs when selecting specific options in game and nothing outside of that, it's also worth mentioning that all the previous instances were games that were self installed so there might by something wrong with how i install them.

the problem persists when disconnecting every thing other than the monitor and pc.

as i said before it only occurs with specific options in specific games so i doubt that it is malware.

I'm not sure, but it's likely an issue with your computer. At the very least, I guarantee there's nothing in the game's code that would be doing that!

And yes, if your text shows up as big, copy it into notepad, then copy back and it should be okay!
