Issue:
I was playing fine for a couple weeks until a few days ago when my controls suddenly stopped working correctly in the middle of playing. It does not matter what controller i use or even if i use the keyboard. The issue is that no matter what i bind to c-stick in the config it will not work in game(any game) if i press those keys/sticks and than regardless of what i bind to circle pad in the config if i press those keys/sticks they act as the c-stick controls. In addition before i had the stick issues if i pressed my right trigger it would instantly reverse the binding and get stuck pressed(if i pressed the trigger it would act as if i was letting go). I have tried uninstalling, deleting all files including the user directory and doing a fresh install. Have also tried both nightly and canary. I am at a loss. To point out again i have tried multiple controllers which i know work fine as well as my keyboard. Would greatly greatly appreciate any help here.
System Information
Operating System: win10 pro
CPU: fx-8350
GPU: gtx970
Citra Version (found in title bar): latest(nightly and canary)
Game: any
Screenshot of Issue (include the full Citra window including titlebar):
pretty much ya. it may have been when i went to my secondary monitor and back to the emulator on the main monitor or just while i was working on my second monitor. I vividly remember seeing the emulator window flash a split second and after that controls were broken.
Try setting up a clean and isolated (portable) citra folder, do the following:
download the latest nightly build, extract to a folder, and inside this folder (where the citra-qt.exe is located) crease a folder and name it user. this sets up a standalone citra folder in portable mode. the user folder is equivalent to the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Citra\ folder.
Open citra-qt.exe, configure your controls and try launching a game, since the user folder doesn’t have the system archives some games may not work, if no game works, copy your nand folder inside the user folder.
