Bug #1820

Game Crashes When Controller is Connected or Plugged In After Splash Screen

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	horybp on November 1, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	S06.04 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Plug in the controller working with Xinput (in my case 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, updated to newest soft version, compatible for Switch2, with wired connection)
2. Launch the Title
3. Notice that the loading with three dots in bottom right corner freezes and clicking with mouse causes the Title termination
4. Launch the Title
5. After splash screens connect controller mentioned in repro above
6. Observe the crashreporter window appear, which produces the crash as the one in the attachments

Explanation

Launching the Title with controller connected or pluging it in after splashscreens forces the game to terminate or crash, which further hinders the Title launches if the PC is not restarted
