Controller Disconnection Triggers Profile Log-In Error and Resets Saved Settings
Summary:
Turning off or disconnecting the active controller during gameplay brings up the prompt: 'You must have a user profile logged in if you wish to save, load, or delete any progress.' Consequently, this frequently corrupts or resets active user configurations and custom controller settings back to default.
Observed Behavior:
- Premature Profile Unlinking: The game unbinds the local profile immediately upon controller disconnect instead of simply pausing gameplay and awaiting reconnect.
- Settings Reset: Navigating through the prompt or reconnecting often wipes custom controller layouts, camera settings, and gameplay assists.
Impact:
Causes severe friction whenever a controller turns off for battery saving, forcing players to repeatedly reconfigure their custom setups.
Proposed Fix:
Maintain user profile session data in memory during controller disconnections, replacing the log-in prompt with a standard 'Please reconnect your controller' overlay that protects local settings files.
