Movement thumb stick stops working

[soopytwist]

Every now and then there's a short pause, like the game is updating something. After this the left thumb stick on my Xbox One controller stops moving Lara. To fix I have to press one of the D-Pad movement buttons and then I can use the left thumb stick again. It happens far too often is now becoming unplayable.

I have the same issue using an XBOX 360 Wireless controller. Both joysticks quit working and the button icons change to keyboard. Can't even make it half way through the first level without the issue creeping up. Makes me not want to play because you never know when it's going to do that.

+1 Ah ! i see i am not the only one with this issue ! Same for e but Xbox serie X controller in wird (so no it isn't sadly the wireless thing)

It's the first time a game does that..

We should report to Aspyr. Personally it's enough rare but can happen like say 1 hours of playing or a bit more

Same, Also its an issue with right stick and camera movement, it also stops to get input until dpad of face buttons pressed, seems like processing of analogue axes are bugged and not counted as active gamepad input.

Humm yeah i see i wonder if...say in logical if you use ONLY the d pad no problem isn't it ? I remmber the ps1 version and at the origini ONLY TR3 was made compatible with the Dual shock and so ...the analog stick.

I don't remmeber have had problem with the patched version of the originals however...

I will use only d pad for trying and will chec it out (no problem for me i have the habiot since the ps1 days for Tom raider so, i remmber that for tr3 analog stick was horrendous on ps1 prefer the d pad CLEARLY)

On keyboard no problem no ? even when you input several arrows direction in same time ? (for made some axis and do some cricles movements).

But for sure it should be fixed.

Interesting, honestly didn't think this would be as wide spread. I initially tried playing with only D-Pad for that "authentic" 1996 feel I was so used to back in the day, however I found it hard to control.

This is happening to me too. Intermittent stutter accompanied by loss of control until I use the D-pad again. Very annoying.

Any button unlocks the thumb sticks again, it seems.

Probably a coincidence, but in the several times it happened during Palace Midas it was just as a sound effect began, the game lagged a couple of times and then both thumb sticks stopped responding. Not sure then if this problem is something to do with the audio.

For me this only happens, when I ALT + TAB out from the game.
As swoopy said, any other button unlocks the stick again.

Even the "look"-button does.

So if it happens when you Alt-Tab and back it sounds like the window the game is running in momentarily loses focus...? Interesting.

[Just Chill]

Well not only that.
It already starts to happen, when I open up the Steam Overlay. XD

I got used to it, but it surely is annoying.

Indeed.

[superbegita76800]

hummm i wonder if even alt+tab does that...windored bordeless would lose the focus ?

Yes with audio sometime game seem to "lag" (freeze big moment like if you was skipping literraly a cvhunk of frames like if you was playinf online)

Note i use the fix DXGI swapchain i am aware that it's a wrapper dx12 (as swap dxgi is intentend for..Open GL/Vulkan )

I doubt game could not problem with steam overlay ?

Ah by the way good quesiton i think but who knows ? do you use in global setting the steam input overlay (yes the one who just fix some big problems on games as original re4 otherwise gamepad is messed up in input but steam input fix it).

I should tru as the game is planned FOR Xbox One serie X and normal one controller and same for DS 4 and Dual sense

I am going to try and desactivate the steam input (the one intentend for fix some games but i know some need to desactivate it for properly ex Prince of persia from 2008 )

[soopytwist]

Disabling Steam overlay doesn't fix it. It seems nothing does. It's gotten so bad I've had to just stop playing. Hopefully it'll be patched soon, until then I'll have to move onto something else.

[superbegita76800]

Ok so guys i just use the d pad (no problem i have the habit since the originals so yeah)

And as i suspected i have not had a single "Lara's just doesn't move anymore suddenly"

However ! I have to say it seem that the famous half second freeze (sort of lag in fact as if we was playing onliny) occurs. Apparently it's related to audio loading (files more exactly they aren't load directly when the game is fire up)

But i have read that was concerning for Steam deck (sd card) and Switch (same reason).

I must precise that for the stutters (very slight one but never noticed because i made the change since the dy one)

I use the DXGI swapchain for OpenGL/Vulkan

I am on an rtx 3090 FE and 9900K, last build public windows 11 pro. I don't use the cvery last drivers by the way. I put available 100go for construction of the shadi

For now i only use d pad and Lara had never being in state "Lara's.exe had stopped to respond

The half second lag still occurs but not the Lara doesn't move at all suddently until you push d pad direction or Look button etc

Humm i was refering rather to the steam input you can use when game had some obvious problem with the input.

Take Resident evil 4 (2004) it needed for fix it (otherwise if it's not an Xbox 360 controller there will be some very strange things for input and animations related from)
