Controller Issues: PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers - Game Crashes Immediately when Disconnected
jacobpscott16 opened this issue · 2 comments
Description
Minecraft crashes unexpectedly when I disconnect either a PS4 DualShock or a Nintendo Switch Pro controller while using the MidnightControls mod. This crash also results in unsaved progress loss. The issue occurs consistently with both controllers, and only when disconnecting mid-game.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch Minecraft with the MidnightControls mod enabled.
Connect a PS4 DualShock or Nintendo Switch Pro controller.
Start a game or join a world.
Disconnect the controller mid-game.
Expected Behavior
The game should continue running without crashing and automatically switch to the default keyboard and mouse controls.
Actual Behavior
The game crashes without warning when the controller disconnects. A crash log is generated, and any unsaved progress is lost.
