FPS drops with a PS5 controller plugged in

[Shiri]

Since yesterday, having my controller plugged in has completely tanked the game's framerate. Usually, the game runs at 60, but with the controller plugged in, the framerate drops down to 10 FPS. I have no idea what causes it. DS4Windows works as a workaround, but it also messes with the camera sensitivity drastically. Any ideas?

got the same issue here, just go to game properties -> controller and enable steam input, it worked for me

Enabling steam input didn't work for me. I just use ds4windows but 1.75ms input lag is unbearable

WOW! it works for me aswell! I was looking for a fix for days now. Deinstall driver, checked all kinds of vsync options and what not... Thank you!

I knew there was something that needed to be changed. I loaded up the game pass version and it ran smoothly compared to the steam version. I have PS5 controller connected and just changed it to steam I put and no more game stutter. Thanks my dude

Didn't work for me.

An alternative solution is: Closing the game -> Turn off DS5 -> Open the game (Steam Input Enabled) -> Connect the game once you reach the main menu.

You are the lifesaver! I keep trying all graphical setting and still cannot fix it. Thank you for let me realizing is the ps5 controller problem.

The same thing happened to me when use ps5 controller. The solution in my case was to \right-click on the game\properties\controller\then set override for GAMENAME to use default settings and use dualsenseX everything work perfectly

Having the same problem, DS5 wired. What I do is unplug the controller, start the game, as soon as I am in "press any button" menu, I plug it back in - then wait for the light on controller to stabilize.

Pain in the ass, but works.

My question is how anf why can having my controller plugged in can obliterate the fps
