Switching input systems

If you want to use the Input System and Input Manager (Old) together, or switch your project

back to the old Input Manager, you will need to go to Edit > Project Settings, then select

Player.

Under Other settings, you will see that Input System Package (New) is selected. Here you

can switch to your preferred setup. Please bear in mind that the Starter Assets do not work with

the Input Manager (Old) setting.
