Switch Pro Controller Input Issues

[MPS64]

Validation

• I have checked the Issues page to see if my problem has already been reported
• I have confirmed that this bug does not occur in the original game running on original Xbox 360 hardware

Describe the Bug

For context, I'm using sdl for my input method.

My Nintendo Switch Pro Controller works well until you get into the stages themselves. A is mapped to jump AND the pause button which makes progress very difficult.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Plug in a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
2. Boot up the game.
3. Either select "NEW GAME" or "CONTINUE".
4. Try to jump.

Expected Behavior

I expected Sonic to jump as normal.

Had the same issue (#488), with the exception of the Pause button causing duplicated buttons for the Jump action (already ensured there aren't any Input Remappers conflicting).

I also provided a solution by setting a cvar that switches Face Button layout based on Controller Type while on menus, using yquake2/yquake2@9e07dc2 as inspiration.

The bigger problem would be QTE sequences or Reaction Plates/Jump Selectors, where it can messed up muscle memory.

edit: to clarify; I'm referring to the Face Buttons being reversed when using Nintendo Switch controller. As this sourceport moved the usual A Button (In "Xbox" terms) over to B Button (also, in Xbox terms). That makes general gameplay a hassle and destroys muscle memory due to the lack of controller rebinding at the moment. However, I don't have that issue with Pause button also causing a double-input bug.

I also have this issue on linux with an Xbox One controller where the a button causes it to bring up the pause menu but causes a jump action when it "unpauses".

EDIT: After spamming all the buttons on my controller, even pushing in on analog, my A button went from doing start menu to jumping only now. I have no explanation as for why.

EDIT pt2: After I made the first edit and jumped around a bit it went back to opening the pause menu. Not sure what could be the reason.

Edit 3: Closing steam fixes this.

Something that fixed it for me was to close steam/remove windows controller from steam

Yeah, I'm not surprised by this. This sourceport uses SDL2 (I don't know which version this sourceport is using), which will contain native Nintendo Switch controller support, however: it also has a problem when it comes to Face Button layout being reversed.

That being said: This is why I make sure no Input Remapper is enabled (including Steam Input) to avoid a double-input bug or conflicts, even turned off Steam's Desktop Config for all of my controllers (minus for Steam Controller).

If I wanna use Steam Input for this game: I typically setup a Steam shortcut and override Steam Input's status within the In-Game Properties [on Steam library]. that way: Steam Input and SDL's own Controller support don't fight with each other.

Wow, closing steam did fix the issue! Thanks so much for figuring it out guys, I really appreciate it!

hopefully an input remapper comes soon but this is still great.
