Controller going crazy #362
Comments

This doesn't seem related to the HD Project or RE4 Tweaks, but I'll recommend you try this anyway: -Go to "Device Manager" on your PC You can also test the controller at a system level: -Open "Control Panel" on your PC |
|
It does work for like 5-15 minutes and then it starts having this issue. I'm pretty sure it's not the controller, no other game has any similar issue. |
So it still has this issue after trying the steps above, right? No other USB controller devices are plugged in? |
|
Yup, no other controller connected. |
|
As I said before, RE4 is the only game with this problem. |
|
I see. You said you've set input.ini as read-only, have you tried outright deleting it? |
|
Just tried that, still happens. I did notice that if I hold the right stick in any direction the controller behaves "normally" (as shown in the video). Could it be related to stick drifting? I'll try to unbind the right stick on steam input to see if something changes @_@ |
|
I had the same issue but I had to hold the left stick instead. |
|
Hmmm. Try to make sure the gyro in the DS4 also isn't bound to anything? |
|
It isn't.
|
|
Sounds like this issue: I've seen some people report that before, even before I made re4_tweaks, so I don't think it is caused by it. Unless some change we're making is triggering the same bug, which could happen. Could you test without re4_tweaks? |
Could be the same. I'll try to disable steam overlay and if that doesn't work I'll run the game without re4_tweaks. |
Still happens. In fact, it happens from the very beginning without re4_tweaks, which leads me to believe that this is somehow performance-related (also, the main menu animation looks "choppy" when I have this problem). My pc is very weak and I need to disable v-sync to get a stable framerate. The thing is, I've been playing since february and this started happening just recently. |
|
Hmm, yeah.. odd. It would be great if we could figure out a way to reproduce the issue here, so I could take a look, but this just never happened to me ever since this port released :/ |
|
Hi. I tested a virtual x360 gamepad (with DS4windows) with the "Hide DS4" option enabled and the same happens. I also tried to play on the least "cpu intensive" enviroments and managed to play for longer before this started happening. Now I'm pretty sure it's something performance-related and not the controller's fault. |
|
If you are getting performance problems/framedrops I'd guess that could have an effect on input, don't really know why it'd stop working completely though. Maybe worth trying out dxvk or #255, I've heard dxvk can help with framedrops a lot at least. If you try those let us know if there's any effect, otherwise maybe will look into adding some debug info around the controller related code, to get some idea why game is deciding to stop reading from it. E: btw after the controller stops working in the game, do you know if other things are still able to recognize it? eg Win10/Win11 start menu should respond to LS if it's still recognized by the OS, if that also doesn't respond maybe it's not entirely game related... |
|
I'll try, though I think the links in #255 don't work anymore.
Yeah, it works just fine with everything. |
|
Ah, done a rebase + rebuild of #255 It could also be worth trying the re4_tweaks+dxvk combined DLL at #361 (comment) too. Hoping one of these methods can help with it somewhat, will also look into adding that debugging stuff to figure out why it happens soon. |

Hi. A little update on my situation. |
I'll try. thanks <3 |
I thought you said you already tried with your controller wired? Or had you not disabled Bluetooth when trying it wired before? Anyway, your Bluetooth is most likely the problem here, but probably not because your PC is weak. When I try to play RE4 on my PC when a Bluetooth driver is installed, I get a stutter every 5 seconds or so. I should have tried disabling it first, but decided to just uninstall it altogether, and the problem immediately went away. Similarly to your problem, no other game had stutters when I had the Bluetooth driver installed, but if I used a controller with Bluetooth and then the controller lost sync, it would tank my performance because the Bluetooth driver would freak out. Anyway RE4 seems to really not like Bluetooth devices lol. |
|
I did, but I still had my headphones connected. |
That one definitively helped! I played through the first chapter with no slowdowns at all (only two minor ones in particule-intense cutscenes) It felt way smoother than before. |
|
I have to try dxvk. I'll keep you informed once I do. |
|
I tried both #255 and dxvk [v1.10.3] at the same time. I'm in 1-3 right now, so far the game ran almost flawlessly aside from some stutter here and there. Tho the problem with the controller persists @_@ |
|
Hi. I disabled bluetooth when my (wired) controller started failing and the problem went away. |
|
Huh interesting, guess maybe game is reading from both wired & bluetooth, maybe the stutter interferes with something with the bluetooth part, and game ends up disconnecting from both because of it (just a guess tho, but the gamepad code in here is pretty bad, so wouldn't be surprised if one controller disconnecting would break all of them...) I wonder if |
|
Here's another video. |
|
Sorry I don't know what I just did @_@ |
|
I think I found the culprit. These are the headphones I'm using (and have been since I got a BT adapter for my pc)
This device has a weird motion sensor that pauses/resumes whatever you're playing when you take it off (and is annoying as hell because it doesn't work properly) |
|
Update: I just tested the game with no controller connected (just keyboard/mouse). It still happens. Again, RE4 is the only game with this problem. |
|
I have just found out after three years that there is a way to disable this godforsaken feature. At last, I am allowed to play. |
|
Tested the game again with the auto-pause/play thing disabled and the game worked just fine. Guess what? Pressing the little play/pause button on the headphones triggers this bug as well. I assume it could happen with almost any audio device. I'm so glad that I finally figured this out. Thanks a lot for your time and effort, I hope this thread becomes useful for other people going through the same problem. |

Video example
Game version: 1.1.0
Re4_tweaks ver: 1.7.7.6
Hi. I'm not really sure if this is re4_tweaks' fault but so far it has never happened with any other game.
Seemingly at random the controller (DS4) stops working properly and the game shows keyboard prompts in the inventory menu.
It happens even if:
-I disable steam input
-I connect the controller through USB instead of bluetooth
-I use a virtual x360 controller (with DS4windows) either through USB or bluetooth
-I set input.ini as read only so the game can't modify it (I thought it could help)
I don't remember this ever happening before and I've been using the hd project since february.
