    Hi @chrisaverage I don't have any updates to share past the most recent update. 

    If this is still continuing to happen we can try running through steps to see if the game is corrupt. 

    • Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
    • EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery) 
    • Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
      • EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
      • EGS - Repair (Library > Tile dots > Manage > Verify)
      • Steam - Verify in your library

@chrisaverage If you try M&K does it work when the controller stops working?

@EA_Illium Yes, the default keyboard I for inventory and M for Map keep working correctly after the issue occurs.

While checking this I also discovered that using keyboard to open the inventory or map is what triggers the issue. After using keyboard for any of those functions the press&hold on the controller stops working correctly and always triggers the inventory (short press).

I don't usually use keyboard at all when I play, so I think there might be other ways to trigger this, but this is 100% reproducible every time:
- load or start new game
- check that press&hold on controller opens map (yes)
- press M or I on keyboard to open map or inventory, exit it
- check that press&hold on controller opens map (no, it opens inventory now)

I also checked if other keys trigger this as well, but from what I can tell only the map/inventory keys on the keyboard cause the problem.
