Bug #3214

PS5 Controller Issues with Steam Input in Dead by Daylight

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	luka_370 on May 5, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.6.1
Actual Result:	Menu icons and the controller pointer spazzing out
Expected Result:	Not have it spazz out and have the icons display the correct playstation buttons
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	This has been happening since the 9.6.0 PTB

Steps to Reproduce

1. Boot up DBD with your PS5 controller connected through USB (Not sure if same thing happens if connected through Bluetooth)
2. Turn on steam input when clicking on controller settings for dead by daylight on steam
3. Now witness the game losing its mind whilst trying to figure out if you're using a playstation or Xbox controller

Explanation

If you use a PS5 controller on PC while playing dead by daylight it won't even work until you turn on steam input, and once you do the menu becomes very buggy and your controller gets recognized as a Xbox controller, and keeps flicking off and on, I am using a USB to connect my controller to my PC
