2.60: wildly spinning viewport when ps4 gamepad connected [Windows 10]

Post by DDR0 »

Hello. I have a PS4 controller attached to my computer via USB. This works fine with X4: Foundations in Linux (Ubuntu 19.10 w/ KDE), however, on Windows 10 it seems to result in the view spinning wildly. When I unplug the controller, hit escape, hit escape again, and move my mouse, the view stops spinning. Windows 10 reports the controller inputs correctly, as expected, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Perhaps it has something to do with my non 1:1 screen scale factor, since I have a high-dpi monitor?

I believe this is unrelated to the FAQ's "Mouse Cursor moving to bottom of screen", since I have perfectly fine control over my mouse cursor in the menu.

I have uploaded a video of the issue.

Version and language: 2.60, English
Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods: No.
Game start being played: Beginner. Tutorial. The first one?
Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time: See above. Occurs immediately.
Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred: None. Fresh install of Windows and Linux as of last weekend.

Thanks,
–DDR

Have you tried toggling 'gamepad mode' in the in-game settings? Sometimes having it disabled is better, sometimes it's the other way depending upon system and set-up.
