After the recent update, when holding the PS4 controller touchpad, the chat input and Windows on-screen keyboard appear. This prevents us from using touchpad hold for other actions (like holstering weapons). Please add an option to disable chat on touchpad hold.
For three years, I have assigned the touchpad button to tactical abilities.
After the S26 SP2 update, the touchpad button stopped responding and I can no longer perform long presses.
Specifically, my Revenant can only perform short jumps, and using ultimate abilities repeatedly fails.
Additionally, some ALGS players assign the jump button to the touchpad button. He is now unable to jump and is struggling. This is significantly impacting his competitive activities.
PC users have physical keyboards right in front of them, so there is absolutely no need to open a software keyboard from the controller. Please release a patch to remove this feature immediately.
upvoting this it's very annoying been playing Mad Maggie and on controller we can not hold the ultimate (idk why is it that way) so i've assigned left touch pad for ultimate and it brings this virtual keyboard. Please fix this EA/Respawn
I’m experiencing the exact same issue since the S26 split 2 update.
I play on PC with a PlayStation 5 controller and have assigned my tactical ability to the touchpad button. Since the update, holding the touchpad automatically opens the chat and the Windows on-screen keyboard, which completely blocks the input.
Because of this, I can no longer use my tactical ability properly as long presses do not work anymore. This affects many controller players on PC who use custom layouts.
Please add an option to disable the chat and on-screen keyboard function on the touchpad.
Is there already a solution for this issue?
Dawg. thats literally for your in game chat, but if your not holding it, like pushing it down, and the keyboard is still showing up, then yea, its either a bug, or your controller might be bugged, my PS4s controller used to do the same, which is why i moved to xbox, but now im on PC, Xbox and PS for the god of war games
