Steps to Reproduce

  1. While playing, the cable comes loose or is accidentally unplugged.
  2. Steam notifies that the controller has disconnected.
  3. Reconnect the controller and Steam notifies that it has reconnected.
  4. If the game is already open, the controller stops being recognized.
  5. To get the controller working again, close and reopen the game.
  6. Steam Input is disabled because it showed Xbox icons instead of PS icons.

Explanation

Every time my joystick disconnects by accident and I reconnect it, it stops working, and I have to restart the game to get it working again.
