R1 ATTACK STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY

[StorM]

Did anyone else have this bug happening to them? I've been playing around 62 hours now and this is the 2nd time my R1 attack stopped working for no reason. It starts working again normally when I restart the game completely (not just the game save). I just started this thread to get some confirmations from multiple people if this is a bug and not an issue with my gamepad. I also tried the gamepad in other games and it works just fine.

if R1 doesn't work, try pressing left click on your mouse. This usually fixes the issue for me 90% of the time; if not then exit to desktop and launch game again.

This'll apply to the other inputs as well. The shield's the most common one to stick for me. Though this patch apparently brought up a new issue of the controller support dropping entirely and randomly for several seconds. Not sure if it helped, but it worked again after alt tabbing a couple of times.

I see, so it's actually problem with the code and not the gamepad issue thank God. Thank you for the info, I hope they'll patch it soon. i've never had this issue in other FromSoftware games and I've finished all of them on Steam (even Ninja Blade and Metal Wolf Chaos lol).

Had this happen to me, it only happens when I alt tab out of the game. I forgot what I did to fix it when it happens, I usually have to click off the window then click back with a left or right click or something.

Yeeees, that might be the reason. Last few days I often alt+tab out of the game to check the locations/conditions for all the bosses and mini bosses that I missed along my path. Thanks for the info!

I had this issue + stuttering nearly every time i tried to fight the dancing lion. I hope they release a patch to fix this crap. I never had this problem before in the base game.

Wow I thought my mouse was dying. Just the mouse inputs randomly stop working until I relaunch the game

Ok it must've been Steam/Discord overlay that messes it up.

Issue suddenly started happing today after 82hrs.
Slightly different to the borderless window re-focusing issue as alt-tabbing x2 does not fix.
Switching to full creen also didnt prevent it from occurring.
Had to restart to fix but the issue starts occuring after I die, making it tedious as all heck to play.
Cheers to @yarrrr, its some sort of steam overlay which is causing it. Pressing shift + tab to open the steam overlay then closing again fixes it for me.
