Real Racing 3 thinks I have a controller connected

Hey everyone, I’m running into a weird issue with Real Racing 3. The game keeps detecting a controller connected to my device even though I don’t have one plugged in or paired via Bluetooth. Because of that, the on-screen controls disappear and I can’t play properly

I’ve tried:

Restarting my phone

Clearing the app cache and data

Making sure no Bluetooth devices are connected

Turning off developer options

Reinstalling the game

Still no luck. 😩 I’m using a POCO X4 PRO 5G running Android 13 TKQ1. No other games have this problem, only RR3.

Anyone else run into this? Is there a fix or workaround for this bug? I love the game but this is making it almost unplayable.
