Controller Detection Mid session

Dear Devs,

For the love of the game, let the game detect controllers when they get plugged in or turned on mid session (while the game is running).

Example: I have a wireless Xbox One S controller and if I go afk the controller turns off due to inactivity or If I swap the batteries and turn back on the controller whilst the game is running it doesn’t get detected, so the only current solution is I have to reboot the game every single time.. which is annoying!

It is kinda weird to see nobody bringing this up as it’s something worth noting..

in other games, as soon as I turn on my controller it gets recognized and picked up instantly.. Anyways.. Hopefully, someone or somebody will read this. Thanks

I have a Steam Deck and play with 8bitdo controllers, when I plug a controller with USB Dongle or Bluetooth the game detects it and I can play without issues or reboot.

Sure, but it’s irrelevant to what I’m discussing.
