Game unplayable with controller

[⚪Bubblehead⚪]

I'm using a ps5 dual edge sense controller. It works, but in the menus, it skips every other option, and in game, I do mini jumps if I hold the jump button, not a higher jump. I don't know what to do

I played it with DS4 just fine. Your issue seems familiar, because EL was taking double inputs from DS4Windows and steam's input. Are you using an additional tool?

Wait, I also had the "menu option skipping" on my end with an Xbox controller, which is strange. I thought my DPAD was acting up since I fixed and reassembled this thing way too many times. I wouldn't be surprised if the DPAD is double-pressing somehow, but maybe it's the game. I guess it wasn't just me then. I wasn't using any extra input software, either.

The jump part is intended as far as I'm aware. There aren't high and low jumps in this game unless I missed them for 29 hours straight. Jump height is constant.

I closed DS4 and it works perfectly now. Thank you!

How do you close DS4?

No issue with an Xbox series controller on my end, but it may be a windows VS steam controller configuration clash.

Oh, right. I forgot to update.

It wasn't just this game, but apparently it started being obvious while playing this game. Well, at least I'm not shy when it comes to ripping the insides out of electronics to figure out what's wrong. Long story short, my ol' Xbox One controller was getting a bit too old. Carefully dismantling and cleaning the DPAD with pure isopropyl alcohol solved the problem.

Click the up arrow at the bottom right of windows. Find the DS4 logo. Right click it and click exit. That's it
