PS5 Tsw4 - Gamepad Controls Sometimes Getting Lost

    I'm having numerous controls not working sporadically: They will stop working for some time and then work again. I can't say with confidence what is causing them to stop OR start working

    • Pushing R3 for external camera doesn't work
    • Left Analog Stick sometimes won't move my character
    • R2 sometimes won't work

    In every case using the keyboard hotkey or manually hitting switches works, it's just the controller input that is lost. Please look into this. Thank you.

    I can confirm R3 not working consistently in TSW4 on PS5 as well. Sometimes it works when pressing a little longer or when quickly pressing it twice or when using L3 just before pushing R3. Thought this was due to a recent... erm... 'escalation' on a game of Fifa... but this happens with both of my DualSense pads and on the DualSense Edge as well.

    Edit: This issue was already raised earlier, see https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/what-about-the-external-camera-button.73541/

    I play through Remote Play, so maybe that is a factor but no other TSW game or game in general seems to be suffering from these issues. I can confirm however, that when a control doesn't work going to the pause menu and exiting seems to restore functionality. Strange stuff here

    I will try this as soon as I have my next TSW4 session. I also linked your workaround in the other thread, so more people can benefit from and test it.
