PC controller issues after game crashes

Using PS controller. Several instances where after game crashes, Square & Circle do not work, but Ex & Triangle do. Other times, center pad to get to inventory and character info does not work.

So, major issues with video or game just crashing. Changed to Vulken and still no end in sight for game crashing.

I am having this issue too. Crashes quite frequently when I am using a PS5 controller on the PC; tried Vulkan and all other possible solutions like multi-threading, etc with no luck. Switched to Mouse and Keyboard and the problem dissapeared.
For me it is a lot more comfortable to play using a controller, I hope they fix it.
