Since this afternoon, my PS4 controller has been malfunctioning. Obviously it’s what I did yesterday. First started trying to load GTA V. It sat at ‘Loading Story Mode (90%)’ for a good 15 minutes for no reason. No error or anything letting me know it’s something I did.
My other games, Little Big Planet 3/The Swapper/InFAMOUS First Light, they too had issues.
Little Big Planet 3, the controls wouldn’t function.
InFAMOUS First Light, wouldn’t load fully.
The Swapper, the controls wouldn’t function.
After some time, I finally isolated it to my controller. Some of the games will refuse to work if the controller is malfunctioning(GTA V and InFAMOUS First Light). I have to put a bobby pin inside a hole on the back of my controller to reset it. After hitting the PS button, the controller functions correctly.
I have to do this every time I launch a game(twice for Little Big Planet 3). I don’t have the money for a replacement controller, so I have to hope this thing will continue to work until I do.
And when I do, I’ve learned not to take my anger out on it. As the controller is a cheap made (yet expensive) piece of crap.
EDIT: Discovered I cannot play Little Big Planet 3. Resetting it, my L and R buttons refuse to work. Reset it again, and the Triangle, Square, Circle, and X buttons refuse to work (but the L and R buttons work). Resetting it even more than that is pointless, as it just won’t work.
I can’t play it now, all because of my fucking anger over failing and time limits!
