X-Box Controller D-Pad randomly stops working mid-game!

Anybody?

 

It just did it again...

Having same issue.

 

Intermittently, the d-pad inventory buttons (inspect, use on self, use in world, drop item) will cease working while in normal (walking around) mode. When pulling the right shoulder trigger to enter inventory mode, d-pad functions resume working (e.g.: able to drop items).

 

No combination of buttons or in-game actions I have found re-enables normal d-pad function. Exiting to title screen, re-authenticating, and rejoining the game server fixes the issue until it recurs. It is not necessary to completely restart the game process.

 

The cause/triggering event is unknown and not predictable. I can sometimes play for days without it happening and then have it happen twice within thirty minutes.

More info:

- seems to happen most often after either giving or receiving items to/from other players using the 'give' function

- also affects the shoulder bumpers (rotate camera buttons) which cease to function until the server is rejoined

Amendment:

- it's been happening whenever I get close to another player, whether or not I give/receive an item. If I camp away from other people I don't encounter the issue, while if I camp together with someone it happens semi-regularly

I thnk I figured out the cause and a solution. It happens when I inspect another player or player's skeleton.

Afterwards, inspecting another object in the world fixes the problem without the need to rejoin the server.

This bug still seems to exist...Been getting it all day. While the temporary solution of examining stuff is useful, it should really be looked into and fixed as it can very easily go unnoticed until it's too late (nearly starved because I hadn't been paying attention and suddenly couldn't eat anything)
