Conflict between controller and keyboard/mouse controlls causing unplayable input incompatibility

Status: Under Investigation
Priority:
Critical
Added by:

Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:
Actual Result:
Constant input dropping that makes the game boarderline unplayable if you attempt to play with gyro to mouse controlls on controller using steam input
Expected Result:
Gyro to mouse button and controller inputs working at the same time to help controller players use killers with projectiles more effectively
Severity:
Blocker
Reproducibility:
Always
Platform:
Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:
I use the 'gyro to mouse' setting (mapped to holding down my steam controller's R4 button to activate) extremely frequently on the live build of the game when playing killer. It's the only way I can comfortably play most killers on my steam deck. If this bug isn't fixed, most of the killer roster will be completely unplayable for me. I can't enjoy or even properly test Jason at all due to my controller and gyro to mouse controlls conflicting so hard with eachother and disabling eachother constantly to a point where I can't aim anything that involves any precision at all or even use gyro to quickly and precisely turn my camera to hit a survivor that's trying to spin around me since the game keeps dropping the L2 and movement stick inputs unless I use the camera stick instead, which is extremely hard to accurately aim with. Please please PLEASE fix this before the patch goes live or most killers will be completely un-enjoyable for anybody who uses gyro controlls for their controller to make aiming projectiles accurate to a usable level or even just uses it for more precise camera adjustments.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Map a button on your controller to activate gyro to mouse when held down using steam input
  2. Attempt to input any controller actions while having the 'gyro to mouse' button held down in a trial
  3. Watch as the game rapidly swaps between which input type it wants to accept (keyboard/mouse, or controller) instead of accepting both at once, causing inputs to be dropped and picked back up repeatedly, slowing down movement and gameplay actions to an unplayable level

Explanation

Controller inputs and keyboard + mouse inputs cannot coexist, and cause both to be unusable when attempting to use both in combination using a controller + Steam Input settings. (Gyro to mouse setting)
