Summarize your bug Rebound controller buttons on PC with a PS5 controllers do not function as they should with certain gameplay features. Namely triggers do not perform specified function all the time, only after relevant keyboard key has been pressed do they function properly but only for a short time before going back to being useless.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Using a PS5 (maybe other controllers also?) controller, rebind Special attack to the right trigger (may work with other trigger too) and then use the blaster stance and attempt to use the blasters special attack. Sometimes it works the first time but then once I get running around and enter combat it always stops. Then you must press the keyboard button for special attack (F by default) or sometimes pressing the original controller bind also makes the button work.
What happens when the bug occurs? As explained above, the triggers once rebound to new controls don't work unless keyboard binds are used, then it seemingly allows the triggers to function normally for a short period before resetting to a state of not responding.
What do you expect to see? I expect that when I press the button it has been reassigned to, it should perform the function it has been assigned without issue. As every other rebinding I have done works just fine.
I swapped the buttons for attacking and using force powers, so I use R1 and R2 for regular and special attacks instead of Square and Triangle. Everything works fine, except for my triggers but only on certain occasions.
Once I unlocked the blaster stance I found that I cannot fire the blaster using R2 until I press the button my keyboard to fire the blaster, then I will be able to use R2 to fire the blaster for a short period until it resets and I must press the keyboard button for it to work again. Sometimes pressing the original binding for special attack triangle, which I have bound to force pull and also ascension cable, will make R2 then work for a brief period to fire the blaster, but it doesn't always work. Other weapon stances have no issues using R2 to do the special attack.
The other issue I've had with rebinding buttons is assigning focus to L2, focus works normally all the time, but whenever the game calls for me to tame a new animal, it prompts me to press L2 but it never works ever, I have to press the button on my keyboard to tame an animal. Which barely impacts gameplay since it only happens so often and not during action, so I can easily press the button on my keyboard instead to tame the animals.
I have tried unbinding every other control assigned to the same keys, but it does not help resolve the issue.
I have the exact same issue.
The issue is caused during game saving, The game loads the GameUserSettings.sav to get the controller settings. However this function is broken, and Instead it's loading parts of the default scheme instead this is probably a fail safe that is over activating. There is no user side fix.

WORK AROUND - Update 5/4/2023:
It appears they combined all of our threads on the rebind issue into one anyway I found a work around for Steam PC players:
If you have a controller connected you should see this in the Steam library page:
Click it - it will walk you through an explanation just keep clicking next until you hit this page:
Then click "Edit Layout"
Then Click "Joysticks" on the left:
To the right of "Right Stick Click" there is a gear click it, click "Add extra command", in the tabs above click "Keyboard" then click the "F" key your joysticks page should look like this:
If you are setting Focus to Right trigger and it's acting up try the following. Note I haven't been able to test this enough it may not work, however from testing it appears to work.
Now click Triggers on the left side which will take you to the Triggers page. Click on "Add command" to the right of "RT Soft Pull". it should land you on the Gamepad tab if not click "Gamepad" then click "Right Trigger" if you did it right your Triggers page should look like this:
Now just back out until it closes, from now on when you launch the game through steam it will use this controller configuration.
So no luck fixing it then? Really sucks, I'd love to be able to use the blaster stance it's super dope, but so long as this issue persists it's just way too much of a hassle to bother with.
