Unable to look around or move
Expected Result:
Able to look around/move.
Severity:
Major
Reproducibility:
Sometimes
Platform:

Additional Notes & Comments:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Boot up Dead By Daylight on Xbox Console (preferably for the first time that day?)
  2. Load into a public lobby
  3. Attempt to look around/move with a (standard) controller

Explanation

Controls not working. Immediately on loading into a match, unable to move or look around. I can still use items, gesture, crouch, heal people -- basically anything button-related, as opposed to joystick-related.
This usually happens the first match after booting up. Not every time I boot up, though, possibly related to how long I've been off. Typically, restarting my entire console fixes it. Quitting and restarting the game does not.
Controls all still work in the menus and lobby screens
Has happened to me as both killer and survivor. I've seen it more as a survivor, but I play survivor first more often, so that could or could not hold up with the issue overall.
I am on an Xbox One and One S.
