Controller not working when alt - tab#705

If you alt-tab while in Que and then come back 90% of the time your controller won’t connect and you can’t move and you just take an L, lol
sometimes just mashing for like 20 seconds fixes it tho

Hello, thanks for this report. Could you answer a few questions for us to zero in on the issue?

• What version of the game are you experiencing this on?

• Are you on Windows or SteamOS?

  • If you’re on SteamOS what version? Are you using the beta updates?
  • If you’re on Windows are you on 10 or 11? Are you using any Steam beta updates?

• What controller are you using?

  • If the controller is a third-party controller (not made by PlayStation, Nintendo, or Microsoft) please provide a link for where to purchase it
• If the controller is going through a Gamecube adapter, what adapter are you using?
  • If the adapter is not an official Nintendo adapter can you please provide a link for where to purchase it
• Is your controller modded in any way?
  • If yes please list all the types of modifications

No mods, Windows 11, basic steam, Normal new xbox controller plugged in; it also just happened in one of my matches, the screen froze for half a second and then i was just disconnected and couldnt move until i reset the game, the other person online was moving just fine

I will try a different cable

Can also confirm that it happens in general not just alt-tabbing while in Q

Thank you for the information!

This happens to me frequently, it also happens while tabbing out post-CSS during the stage selection or transitioning into a game. When on the CSS I can click into the window and mash for a few seconds to get my controller back on my port, but if it happens while loading into a game I have to alt f4. I play on borderless windowed.

Win10
No Steam betas
8bitdo Xbox 3mode Wireless
–Its designed for both xbox and pc, Windows reads it as an xbox controller but it might have some 8bitdo specific api. I imagine any of their other controllers would use that api if it exists, though this one is specifically built for xbox. No mods.

i’ve had this happen a couple of times - menus worked fine, but gameplay wasn’t detecting input
current patch at time of writing, win11, no betas to my knowledge, 8bitdo ultimate 2 (only modifications are control rebinds with vendor software)
