how to reproduce:
plug in a controller on pc (windows)
join this the repro place below (uncopylocked)
wait 3 seconds, your game will close instantly and your controller will infinitely vibrate until you unplug it.
Possibly related, I notice when I have my PS5 controller plugged into my PC, Roblox games insta-crash after starting. If I play with an Xbox Series controller plugged in it works fine. As soon as I plug in a PS5 controller while a running game, it crashes.
I can confirm that I experienced the same issue on two different computers (Running Windows 10/11) with both the Dualsense and DualShock 4 controllers.
This issue is affecting my game Microwave Dinner. This is a new bug. Iāve been playing the game all day testing for an update to the game that will be released tomorrow. I know it didnāt happen earlier today, but now does. It is an issue with the latest version of the Roblox player. No issues with Studio.
Only if a controller is connected, the game will crash after being teleported from the title screen. The game makes heavy use of HapticService, but the title screen does not. This happens on all 3 computers Iāve tested, running Windows 10 and Windows 11. It happens with an Xbox Core controller, PS5 DualSense controller, 8bitdo Ultimate controller, and PowerA Wired Xbox Controller.
The game is completely unplayable on controller, right on time for when Iām releasing a major update that many players are anticipating. I hope this can get fixed! Controller is the best way to play the game
Playing other Roblox games with controller doesnāt crash, likely because they donāt use HapticService as the initial post suggests. Playing the other games linked here also crashes for me. I donāt have the infinite vibration issue though.
Should this honestly be marked robloxcritical, as it is making many games completely unplayable? I am having the same issue in my game as well. I havenāt determined if it just happens on the Windows version of Roblox or if it is happening on Xbox, Playstation, and Mobile builds as well. Very inconvenient timing coming immediately after Playstation release!
Midnight Racing and Project Trackday are my 2 games effected.
