#Getting lag spikes when controller disconnects, started happening when I got core everest

Title's pretty self explanatory but for extra context sometimes my controller disconnects because the USB isn't great and it often causes unplayable lag spikes for the next 5 seconds or so, which is really frustrating when I'm trying to map (or play the game, for that matter) I use a Dualshock 4 and am on Steam if that helps at all

@fresh owl disable Steam's fancy controller support

#

it can conflict with the up-to-date controller support that Celeste uses now

I think it’s in big picture settings

#

You might need to download the latest controller db

#

Download this text file and drop it into your Celeste installation alongside the exe/dll etc.

oh yeah i took a pretty sizable break from playing celeste but this didn't entirely fix the problem catplush if i remember correctly it did help somewhat (?) actually remembering now i think it just gave the game the correct controller icons maybe idk. but regardless <@&673394998913400873> since this only started happening with core, here's a video to better explain what i actually mean, unlike before i have a good amount of free time today if anyone has any ideas

#

controller disconnect happens at like a second and a half

yeah this isn't a steam input thing, I also get a lag spike when my controller connects and I don't use steam input. I have no idea how to fix it though

#

I feel like at the point where the controller disconnects, the lag spike wouldn't really make things that much worse?

#

like if I need to do an input rn, it doesn't really matter whether the game is lagging or perfectly smoothly not doing anything because my controller isn't connected

#

generally speaking the controller has reconnected before the lagspikes stop, which is the main issue creature

#

specifically the last lagspike is always delayed a lot more than the others which is the one that gets me

#

oh it's not just a single spike?

#

unfortunately that sort of low level controller stuff is all handled by FNA/SDL, so we have limited power over that

#

idek if this is a core thing or just an xna vs fna thing

#

it's been so long since I've played on a non-core version that I don't remember whether I got the controller connection lag spike on legacy fna

#

ah shit ok despair

#

yeah its i think 5 spikes every time?

#

one big one, 3 little ones in quick succession, a short break and then one last one

#

sometimes the 3 little ones blend into being 2 or something but the rest is consistent

#

also worth mentioning its not just celeste, whatever im listening to at the time lags as well
