Symptoms

Whenever controller rumble is active (presumably) in the game the FPS drops from the normal steady framerate (120 FPS) to a steady (20 FPS). The framerate will stay at 20 FPS as long as the melee button is held. This also happens when landing from a jump or sprinting.

Reproduction

  1. Plug in a controller (you don't need to actually be using it).
  2. Start Boltgun with MANGOHUD=1
  3. Hold Melee button (default RMB).
  4. Watch FPS drop to 20 FPS
  5. Disable Controller Rumble under Accessibility options in game
  6. Hold Melee button
  7. Watch FPS remain steady at normal frame rate

Hi. The game doesn't pick up DualShock 4 or DualSense for me. Do you happen to have Steam Input enabled?

With XBox One / Series controllers and DS4 over Steam Input I don't see the behavior you've described on my system (5950X + 7900 XT). The game stays at the frame cap without any problem.

Can you try disabling all the customizations, including proton logging (including removing user_setting.py if you ever set that up), gamemode and mangohud and instead use DXVK_HUD=fps,devinfo,frametimes,version for FPS info?

If the problem still occurs PROTON_LOG=+dinput,+xinput,+hid,+rawinput may shed some more light.
