What happens when the bug occurs? Prior to the 1.2 update my PS4 controller worked fine on Squadrons on the PC. After the update whenever I am playing the game it tends to get confused and flicker between thinking I am using a controller, hotas and PC. Both in the menu and in game, making it unplayable. I have never installed or used hotas and have always used the PS4 controller on Squadrons. (my controller works fine on other steam and origin games so i can only assume it is the 1.2 update that has caused this specifically for squadrons).
