I don't game much on my PC and often games I don't have to use a controller but I'm playing Shenmue 3 and coming up against a very specific disconnection issue. I have an XBox 360 wired controller and it works fine until I need to press the same button multiple times. Then I hear a Windows noise as if it's disconnecting and reconnecting but with no actual interruption so it's not actually disconnecting at that point. But if I continue doing it, it will just stop working. Plugging it out and in again fixes it instantly.
If I was to speculate, I would wonder if Windows is trying to kick in some kind of sticky keys thing but because Shenmue is filling the screen, I can't see what's happening until I close it down completely and there is no sign of a message at that point. Trying to replicate it outside of a game doesn't seem to do anything but the controller doesn't do a thing outside a game so I'm not sure it would. I checked sticky key settings and nothing seems turned on so maybe I'm wrong that it has anything to do with it.
I can work around by just making sure I don't press the same button several times in a row quickly but obviously it would be ideal if I didn't have to worry about it.
Any ideas?
