I've been trying to play the other enviroments with controller but 5-10 mins after opening the game the screen just freezes, rn I have the game open and it's still stuck after 15 min, I use a PS4 controller, the game refuses to close and won't let me access taskbar (because it keeps going full-screen), the crash has consistently happened 3 times after 5-10 min when it has never happened with kb, and the crash happens specifically when an action goes through (for example pausing or completing a run)

can you check in the event viewer what pops up if the error occurs?
I can't
The game just refuses to get of full screen
Just realized I can just change the aspect ratio to windowed I'm dumb
I'm kinda clueless rn where do I check for errors about tmuf (brb after <t:1708790400:t>, gotta workout [I'm back] )
I'm not getting help am I?
reminder that this is #1050449637020016811 
nobody's obligated to help you, especially if it's a strange issue people haven't seen before and that they can't help with
you could try asking in #tmnf-uf as well, or maybe in a TMNF/UF-specific server
most of the people here are primarily playing TM2020, and there's not a lot of troubleshooting overlap
I apologize, was more than busy
but with u not being able to click into event viewer I'm at my wits end sorry
I can put the game in windowed and click the event viewer, I've already done that, I just have to idea where to look for if there are errors
the event viewer records events constantly, no need to keep it open while it happens
either there is smth that is relevant to it or not
just open it after you closed the game or rebooted

Thank y'all for trying to help but I figured out the problem myself by looking through some forums. The game can only handle xbox controllers so I had to configure the controller through steam to make it work without crashing
You gotta use DS4windows and HIDhide
That's the only way to run a PS4 or PS5 pad correctly for any trackmania
in the future just ask for if DS4windows and HIDhide are already in use when you see playstation pad users, would've saved the a lot of hassle
I mean, it already works so I don't see the point
well that's the point
it doesn't
you just don't know it yet
but using PS4/5 pads any other way won't work 100% right
If I don't know it yet then that just means it's not important enough for me to care 
,it's better to just solve ur issue fully now, rather then put a bandaid on it for it to break aletr
mine works perfectly fine using steam config

game can still pick up double controls when using steam i believe
hence it being DS4windows PLUS HIDhide
alright fine I installed it what am I supposed to do with it
you can fix that by just tabbing in and out of the game
there's instructions for it, i can't help with that
never used it myself i don't use playstation pads
