Flickering input icons
Hey guys. After alt-tabbing the game I'm getting buggy input icons, that switching fast between keyboard and gamepad controls. Never had that problem before...
Can gamepad cause this problem (always played on ds4 before, switched to dualsense)?
Has anyone faced similar problem?

(Look at the icons in the terminal menu in the lower right corner)

This is a known issue, it can happen anytime you're using a contoller and press a key on the keyboard, the game basically gets stuck reading one of the key you pressed as if it was still being held down, but since you're also using a controller, it just rapidly switches between the 2 kind of prompts.
To "fix" it"(in quotes cause it can always happen again, there's no permanent fix) just press a few times one of the keys you used(i.e if you alt+tab, press alt or tab a few times) and then back to controller and it should stop flickering.
Also, this does not interfere with the actual controls, if you're using a controller the controls will keep working as usual, whatever prompts are being shown.

That really helps. Much easier than restart the game as I did before
Thanks for your help!

Strange that this bug started showing up regularly only after 200+ hrs played :/

For me it half worked still. When i try to heal i press down on the D-pad but whenever i try to cycle between the different heals i have it just doesnt let me when the bug is active. I have to be really fast to use the heal because the menu instantly goes away with the bug there.
