Button icons follow the controller connected when the game starts (turn it on before launching).

hookshot_log.txt

Controller works in Insert menu and when backgrounded, but not when the game window is focused

Version:2.1.0
Controller: Wired Gulikit King Kong Pro 2
OS: Windows
GPU: Nividia Geforce Rtx 4060
Driver: 32.0.16.1088

Where it happens:Main menu
The controller is detected and works correctly in the Insert menu.
With the “Controller in background” setting enabled, the controller also works when the game window is in the background (e.g. after alt-tabbing).
As soon as I alt-tab back into the game, the controller stops working entirely. The game no longer responds to it.
Keyboard and mouse continue to work normally.
Temporary workaround:

I have to mash the Windows key and the Start button on the controller very quickly, then restart the game (usually takes two restarts). After that the controller is detected and works until I close and reopen the game, at which point the problem returns.It seems like the controller is being seen by the system, but the focus check that decides whether to send controller input to the game itself is getting stuck in the wrong state when the window regains focus.
