Hi, when a controller dies or if you let the controller detach from computer and still in the game. When the controller retaches to my computer the game does not sense it and wont let me play on the controller.
I have exactly the same problem, sometimes my cable makes my controller lose connection for a second but when I plug it back in, the game doesn’t seem to detect it, I have to close and reopen the game again (which it takes ages too btw)
I use a PS5 contoller connected via cable to my PC, and Steam Input is ENABLED.
