Two Stage Trigger Losing it's Resistance?

[tehcraz]

I'm having an interesting issue with the PS5 controller where the two stage feedback 'block' disappears after some play. It still goes through the two stages but without any resistance right before the 2nd stage and it becomes super annoying to feather in the heat of combat. Has anyone come across this? Know of any fixes? I want to stress, the haptics work fine in everything else, it's just the 2 step resistance.

This happens to me. I did the steam input fix and the sound settings thing as well. I noticed, when I start up the game it'll be fine. It'll recognize that it's a dualsense plugged in and will give me the ps icons. But then, either when I press start and go to the pause menu, or when I die, it'll reset the controller or something. I lose the dual stage triggers and the ps icons revert to xbox icons.

I always have the haptics though, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Very frustrating having to constantly manage the dual stage.

It should not happen. Just disable steam input. The dualsense controller is supported natively in Returnal you don't need additional software for it to work.

I don't have steam input enabled in general and have it explicitly ignored in the returnal properties as well. I don't lose the PS icons but I lose the dual stage triggers like the poster above does.

Never happened to me so can't advice much here. Could also try to update firmware. See if the problem occurs in other games even if everything worked before – this would indicate poterial hardware issue.

I just got the controller yesterday before I played Returnal and updated to the latest firmware. I think it working and then stopping mid game is indicative of a software bug. I have had it stop working after unpausing the game or picking up a new weapon.
