    Beware!! Plugged controller breaks pc version!!

    PEOPLE BEWARE!

    People if you're having random crashes, missions not loading properly (objectives not working), stuttering problems etc. DO NOT under any circumstances try to play this game with a controller!

    I had a huge pile of problems. I couldn't finish the mission "Banapur Attack" as the waves of enemies simply weren't showing up. All of my scopes were blank and had no reticles. My game was randomly crashing without any errors and for no reason as my CPU & GPU temperatures were normal about every 15-20mins. Not mentioning that it was stuttering like crazy while driving.
    I was playing the game using X360 controller, I've unplugged it and I was playing the game for 3.5hrs straight without any of the above issues. I've plugged it in again and all of the above issues came back.

    Hopefully this post will help somebody /

    PS. There's a question I'd like to ask: How can a controller cause so many bugs/glitches? What does it have to do with the game code anyway?

    It's probably AMD or the internet's fault. It certainly can't be Ubisoft's fault because they never do anything wrong.

    Does this count the Wireless Microsoft Don-gle (it's censored) I use for my wireless Xbox 360 controller or just wired controllers themselves that cause problems?

    I thought I was the only one, it's crazy how a controller can cause so many bugs, to extremes such as texture loading!! wtf!....controller blocks textures from loading???, I unplug it and *pop* they all appear along with any scripted things nearby such as Kharma events.
