Gamepad issues
- The game favors USB HID for gamepad input, but will fallback to XInput in some situations. Generally this would not be that bad, but it is not very smart about which USB HID input device it chooses. If you have input remapping software present, disable it... do everything you can to avoid your controller showing up in multiple different input APIs. A DualShock 4 controller natively supports USB HID, you do not need the Steam overlay or DS4Windows further confusing this poor little game.[3]
