Lock-On issue which happens at random

[BIG DECK]

So I couldn't find anybody talking about this, but some times when I play the lock on starts stuttering, forcing (Nero or Dante, I don't play V) to be in a strange frozen state, while they are locked on and walking. That's the visual part, the issue is, while the lock on is stuttering you cannot reliably pull or db. I get this while playing with a controller, I don't use the keyboard.

I guess other people don't have this problem, because i don't. The only problem with lock on for me is that it doesn't always target what i want to target, but that was always a problem.

Don't have that. It should be the controller, because if I clear all settings, it some times gets fixed. It's strange, nothing in particular I hit causes it, it just happens. Not sure if it's the controller, the game or both. Using Genesis PV65 if anybody sees this and has a similar deal.

I had this happen with V a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lot

I use keyboard and mouse and don't have this problem. Must be a bug in the controller part of the game.

Alright, but we now know this doesn't only happen to me.

I haven't heard of this issue OP, but I guess we may as well try some basic stuff:
-Verify integrity of game cache

If that doesn't fix it, it could be the result of keyboard drivers clashing with the controller, so you can try:
-Opening device manager
-Expand the "keyboards" section
-Right click and uninstall every driver, then unplug and replug your keyboard to get Windows to automatically reinstall them
-If you see it listed, then do the same steps for the "Xbox Peripherals" in device manager

Had the same problem. I tried deleting my controller from devices then unplug and replug it and it worked, all is good now.

It's all good if I do this too. Then it happens again and I never can catch what causes it.

You said you use a Gensis PV65. That controller is designed for PlayStation, right? Are you using Steam's PS Configuration or something to make it work?

It's fully for a PC too. It has a usb bt stick to connect. I don't think it's this seeing as other people also have experienced it.

Is there a mode switch on the controller (they're usually on the underside)? Or is it just that you connect it to a PC via BT and it's just supposed to work?

Connects, has drivers of course, there's a turbo and a clear (underside only has an off switch) and screwing around with them doesn't help it. Only restarting the game, the controller has no bearing on it.

The closest I've been to finding a root cause is that I'm in the air and there's nothing on the camera. But I am not sure this is it. It's only happens rarely for me, maybe less than 10 times in the 40+ hours I've got in the game.

Also I've worked for a AAA dev team as a dev tester, I know the basics, don't worry it's not basic troubleshooting that will help.

But it's next to impossible to repro, so I doubt it would be fixed anyway. I thought more people have had this issue tbh.
