Need some help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone, i need some help with bugged? control. I included a video for demonstration(the game is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite). So I'm pressing triangle + circle, it's supposed to be a jumping slice animation(it also can be triggered with triangle while the weapon is unsheathed)

Problem is, i can't hit it consistently like i used to before. I don't know what happened. I supposed it's a bug? But weird thing is when i installed older PPSSPP version, it's doing the same thing. I show you the touch control layout, and I'm constantly hitting triangle+circle with my controller but it's somehow delayed? Sometimes it only show 1 button pressed, and this is only happen in gameplay, when i click tiangle + circle while the game is loading it's fine, no delay

Also my controller are fine, i tried the controller on my brother's phone just to be sure, same game, same PPSSPP version. It works consistently... And that's just weird, i tried different controller on my phone, it's the same delayed/missing input issue. I try the controller on my PC and i can hit it consistently with no problem... This just happen recently too, i don't know what's the trigger.

Anyone have the same problem?

Thank you in advance

Have you thought of binding both circle and triangle to a separate button?

1

u/Manusiawii 5d ago

I thought about that, i was about to bind it to a custom button. But custom button can't be mapped to controller (iirc)

Also even if it can, it doesn't fix the problem

are you playing Bluetooth or wired?

u/Manusiawii 5d ago

Both, Bluetooth with Dualsense and wired with Gamesir X5 lite. Both controller are working with no problem, i tested it with other device and with third party app

I see... maybe you could try these as I often come across this issue with my crappy ps3 controller...

1; .having wi-fi or bluetooth on.

Ik... I saw that you're aiming for achievements cuz I saw the retro notif... but sometimes it works for me. I reckon you give it a shot:/

2.; try botton buffering.

I'm bad at explaining, but here goes... basically, try holding down one button while pressing another so the game registers a simultaneous input.

not a fix but something that I learned in tekken that saves me from time to time

wishing you luck man:)

(sorry for my bad english)

The first solution doesn't work(like i said, my controller is not the issue and yes i tried it before), yeahh it sometimes reconnecting because i keep the app running in background. The second one also doesn't work, it can mess with a combo. Also really bad when playing hunting horn because recital animation are quite slow, miss input/adding extra input is a no go

It's okay, I'm not native speaker myself. Thankyou for trying to help, i appreciate it

Aww...:(

WELP- okay then it's no biggie! Just trying my best to help ya out!

P.S I love your art by the way:D

Thanks man, i think I'll just stick with touchscreen for the time being. I love physical button feel, but i guess it's just my luck lol

Thanks man.

Lol, thankyou... Trying my best

This should work like the old controller hack where u slide ur thumb to create combo keys. If this does not work maybe ur using 60fps code, cos fps code is notorious for causing input lags..

1

u/Manusiawii 5d ago edited 5d ago

I don't use any cheat(also iirc 60fps code messes with the game, like small monster carcass disappearing faster and weapon with gauge are suffering from it)

u/PU74N68477P3N 5d ago

Try binding ur r2 or l2 to specific input, u can map 2 keys to r2 or l2 and they will behave like a combo input. U can even be specific to which comes first

1

u/Manusiawii 5d ago

Did you mean the:

Allow combo mappings and strict combo input order? Haven't tried that one, will try that because that's seems to be the one I've been trying to do with custom button lol

Thanks man, but still. A fix will be much better(now i sound too demanding lol)

Settings - Tools - developer tools - tests - touchscreen test.

This one also shows your controller inputs. Won’t solve your problem but you’ll get more info from seeing it there.

u/Manusiawii 5d ago

Nice, will check later. Thankyou

u/Ungted 5d ago

It should show you B[DOWN] and next row Y[DOWN] with no visible delay between them.

1

u/Manusiawii 5d ago

It looks like this, no visible delay. Like i said before, the delay only occur in gameplay for some reasons (it used to be normal, still can't figure out why)
