Ok so did some further testing today with an Xbox series controller connected to the Windows 11 pc, can confirm the issue is exactly the same on that as the 8bitdo controller, still need to test my Linux build but am expecting the exact same results, surprised this bug slipped through testing…
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Don't know if you want to try it or have the hard drive space for it, but i run the game on Linux (CachyOS and Fedora) and i had not one game crash so far.
