Controller works fine on desktop/in other games, but as soon as I get past Moon Studios intro and into game main menu, controller loses connection. Tried enabling the steam input option as recommended, no difference. Can’t even start playing the game! Anyone else with this issue?
Hi,
My xbox controller sometimes loses connection (the xbox button flashes and after a second is re-connected - this is not unique to this game only it happens al the time.)
I am able to play the game normally with the controller, but after the controller momentarily disconnect it doesn’t respond anymore. the controller works, for example in steam big picture mode.

Thanks, hope you can get this fixed, I really like the game (bugs and technical troubles aside)
Try doing what i did here:
I am not 100% sure if this is a bug.
I am using XBox controller on steam. From time to time, game has no reponse to any operations from Controller so I have to use keyboard input. After reconnecting controller from Bluetooth, it can work again. All the time, indicator light on controller shows connetion should be good.
One more thing I noticed is this happens more often when I interact with NPCs (Buy/Sell).

Same
Controller not connected at launch or controller disconnects after launch (after long pause, usually) = controller no longer responds and you have to use keyboard/mouse to exit to desktop
Using Xbox controller on WIn11 PC
Same problem. When I go to the toilet or look after my kids when they need something at night, the controller is disconnected when i come back and the only solution is to quit to desktop and start the game again. I use the XBox Series X controller via bluetooth connection (Windows 10).
Can add to this I’m using a Playstation Dualshock4 and if the cable disconnects while the game is open (possibly while tabbed out) it will sometimes fail to register when it’s plugged back in and there is no way to get pad control back without closing and reopening the game

I’m having the same issue with my xbox elite 2 controller. Additionally, if I step away for some time and the controller goes to sleep while the game is running; when I turn it back on the game no longer recognizes it. I have to restart the game to get it to pick up the controller again.
Not the end of the world, but I would expect the game to be able to pick it up while it’s running.

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.
Hi all, I am playing the game after The Breach Hotfix 3. This hotfix brings many good features but one annoying issue: my Xbox controller may lose input sometimes, and I have to use mouse/keyborad to “activate” the screen and allow me to use the controller again.
BTW I am trying to make performance capture work. Will upload files if available.
This is still an issue. Has anyone found a workaround?
Unfortunately not. Restarting the game is still the only option for me after controller disconnect.
I’m using a PS5 controller via cable and sometimes when it loses the connection due to the cable moving, it can’t reconnect again, only solution is to close the game and opening it again. Please fix this as it’s quite annoying.
sadly, ps controllers tend to break at the cable port. i have around 5 “broken” controllers that lose connection.
but yeah, i agree, that can be annoying. i experience this in some other games too.

Yes, it’s probably the cable connection being already a bit weak, but most games allow reconnection automatically and it’s no that big of an issue, so hopefully this will be looked into.

i once had even more where i ruined them in like half a year. i used to do challenge runs, no death, no hit etc, so i played for 12h a day and they just died at some point lol
the plug breaking is a common issue though. xbox controllers do that better, but i find them too big and not so comfy. plus xbox controller dpad sucks.

all true… but also, controllers have been too fragile since atari days…
I wonder if anyone will ever make an actual robust controller proper… ever… (mine tend to last way longer than most, and still I find them to be too flimsy)…
anyways, hope they fix recognition issues, since in fact bad connectors are not the only cause for disconnections… specially when talking windows…
