We believe this only applies to customized joystick profiles.We suggest you review your profile and adjust it if required. You can also load one of the default profiles and make adjustments as needed based on these.A summary of the most notable changes:- new interact menu positions (up, down, left, right)- new explicit actions to execute the selected entry in the interact menu, ability menu, quick menu, and dialog menu- new directional controls for the ability menu, quick menu, and dialog menu- with joystick controls: changed behaviour of the interact menu state, which now closes the menu without executing the selected entryThe old gamepad mode was revised. In principle it now only controls whether auto-targeting behaviour is active or not (while before it also controlled whether menus were stick/non-sticky in joystick mode).As a result of this change, if you relied on the non-sticky menus behaviour then you might have to change your joystick profile.
