Controller only works in menu, But doesn't work In-game

Platform: PC

I'm not sure if the bug reporting section is the right place for this, but this was what I felt most comfortable with. So just this morning I was playing dbd normally with my PS4 controller (for an unknown reason the game thinks im using an xbox controller, but i dont mind) and when i left for a few minutes and launch the game, my controller works in the menu but when i get into a match it doesn't work, however it does work if i pause the game but when i unpause it, it just doesn't work, i looked this up and some people are saying restarting your pc seems to work, im going to restart my computer and see if that works. Also, I play this game with ds4windows, because this game all of the sudden wouldnt work with my controller, but ds4 fixed it. The light on my controller is on, meaning my computer is detecting the controller, if that helps.

Edit: After restarting my computer, my controller works again but after a while it just gives up. Any help would be appreciated.

    It's not an in game problem, it's a Windows problem. Same happened to me with my XBox controller. Sometimes restart works, sometimes it doesn't. In Device Manager you have to find the Controller and either Update the Driver or either Uninstall it, let the PC detect it on it's own and reinstall it and it works like a charm again. Happens every now and then. For backup learn how to play with a keyboard when it happens in game.

    I'm having the same issue with the GameSir T4 Kaleid controller.

    The controller often only works in menus or on the pause screen, but I'm unable to move my character with it. The only way to fix it seems to be restarting the game.

    A fix would be most welcomed!

    If the controller identifies itself as an XBox controller and you don't support its decicsion, edit your DS4Windows profile, go to Special Actions and on the Other tab, change the emulated controller to Dualshock 4.

    The loss of movement can be caused by two controllers being detected when using DS4Windows. Did you remember to configure HidHide for your DS4Windows installation? If you go to control panel you should see 1 controller rather than 2. If you see 2 then you need to configure HidHide to hide the controller that identifies itself as an XBox controller.
