Sometimes dolphin fails to register my controller

Belqua · 03-09-2019, 10:44 AM #1

If i turn on my controller after launching a game in dolphin, the game wont register my controller so i have to stop the game and launch it again. Its not a big deal, but it would be nice to have it fixed.

Is this happening in the latest dev build, or Dolphin 5.0 stable?

Both.

What controller are you using, and what does Dolphin recognize it as in the device dropdown bar in the devices window?

Its a bluetooth controller i bought on ebay and dolphin recognizes it as a bluetooth gamepad.

This is known. Dolphin doesn't support hotplugging DInput/XInput controllers, at least not yet.

Okay. Is it something you are working on fixing?

There is a pull request open for it.

I just bought a logitech f710 controller, and it has the same issue with not being recognized, so i have to plug out the usb adapter and plug it in everytime i want to play.

It would be really great if this could be fixed.

Does anyone know if the always connected option is going to fix this?
