Play Station 5 Controller Input Issue

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

I’m getting consistent reports from players on my game who use Play Station 5 controllers saying that the left thumbstick does not work properly.

In my game, when you press Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL2 button and then adjust the positioning of Enum.KeyCode.Thumbstick1 to the Up, Down, Left or Right position, it is supposed to do certain moves based on the class you choose.

This system works perfectly fine on Xbox. The PS5 controller seems to be the issue. I assume its an engine bug because Xbox and PS5 use the same exact code.

Here is the relevant code that detects the left thumbstick:

When I test in studio using the controller emulator, it seems to work perfectly fine.

Please let me know if you need any additional information to narrow down the issue.

Hi ItsRight,

As I can’t determine how you are using the stickDirection in your code, it’s difficult to tell what would be wrong with our PlayStation controller code. Do you think you would be able to create a minimal test experience to reproduce the issue?

Roblox Studio uses Desktop implementations of controllers, so it wouldn’t match the Xbox or PlayStation controller code (and I don’t think there’s any way to simulate native console code in Studio). Do you have any PlayStation users that would be willing to help you reproduce the issue?

Thanks,
