System specifications DualShock 4 with InputMapper 1.6.10.19991, emulating a 360 controller, but the issue also exists with XB1 controllers from the reports I’m getting from other players
What did you do to get this issue? With the latest update the controller is no longer hooked to GTA/FiveM like it used to be before you could use your controller while the game window wasn’t active (Like typing on discord while menuing on GTA with the controller) and now that no longer works, as soon as you click away from the game window any controller input is disregarded by the game.

Also before I could unplug the controller mid-game and plug it back and it would still work (probably because the emulated 360 controller was always being shown to the game, InputMapper tries to hide the physical DS4 from the applications to avoid double input issues) and now I need to restart my game for it to pick up my controller again.

Also add what you already tried so far.

Setting in_useWindowsGamingInput to 0 would fix the issue
