Problems with Controller (PS4)

[Löffel]

Hey, this is a bit of a weird one and I have no idea where this is coming from but it just cost me a potential S-Rank against Juggernaut again so I'm asking here.

I use a PS4 Controller to play and so far had no issues. But ever since today I've been running Wallclimber to get my S-Rank and suddenly every 2nd run or even within one run my X and Circle (jump and "run") buttons just fire my main hand weapons left and right.

Switching up my control schema for controller and restarting the mission helps, but every 2nd run I start with wrong setting for these two buttons. I've already tried restarting the game several times. Not sure what seems to be the issue here.

Just to make sure it's not an issue with your controller or Steam PS4 controller driver, I would advise to double check with the following process:

First, open the controller settings:
• This should be done in the App/Software view (not the Big Screen mode!)
• Click on "Steam" in the upper-left corner of the app/software.
• Click on "Settings" in the dropdown displayed.
• On the left vertical row of menus/tabs, click on "Controller"
• Leave that window open in the background and return to the Steam app.
• Launch the game
• Play like always until the problem occurs.
• Once the problem occurs, pause, ALT-Tab out of the game onto the Controller settings menu you left open previously.
• Click on "Begin Test" right of "Test Device Inputs"
This will open a default schema of your controllers.
• Try using X and O (circle) on the test.

If there's some issues with your controller (hardware on your side or software on Steam's side), you might see the triggers value (bottom of the Input test window) change values.
If anything else then 0 next to "Right Trigger" or "Left Trigger, then there's something wrong with your controller or with Steam's driver. If the values doesn't budges at all, then the problem would be in the game.

Thanks for your answer on this - I found the cause for this. I've been using a software called DS4 for things like emulators and such and just never really had any issues with it up until now (opposite actually, sometimes Steam wouldn't recognize the controller).

But after killing the software and some trouble with windows recognizing the controller via Bluetooth it finally worked out. I just bring out the software when I'm actually emulating the Switch now.
