Issue with Quadstick, FGC2, PS5 and game lauching

[Christophe GERARD]

Hello everyone, 

I'm currently having another problem with the PS5, the FGC2 (and the quadstick). 

When all three components below are connected, I can navigate the playstation 5's menus without any problems (using quadstick).

When I launch GTA 5, without any other controller connected (only the quadstick is connected to the PS5  through the FGC2). the game starts, the story mode loads and... stops at 90%... the screen stays at 90% launching...

To get the story mode to 100%, I have to disconnect the quadstick and connect either the classic Xbox controller or the Xbox Adaptive Controller through the FGC2... 

I don't understand what's the problem.

It is a very specific issue but maybe someone understand better than me the reason :D

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,

Christophe.

Good afternoon everybody,

I'm adding an additional item if it's helpful. 

I saw on other forum that game's save files could lead to this kind of bug in GTA5.

So, I deleted the game's save files and restarted the game with the quadstick connected to the PlayStation via the FGC2. 

Then the brightness calibration screen of the game appears. 

Since I didn't configure the D-pads with the quadstick, I have to use the Microsoft Adaptive Controller instead. 

Then, the story mode reaches 90% again but remains stuck (with the Xbox Adaptive Controller connected via the FGC2). 

I then have to reconnect the quadstick via the FGC2, and this time the story mode ends! 

However, the problem reoccurs with the quadstick connected via the FGC2 if I quit and restart the game (story mode is again stuck at 90%). I thought the game's save files could store information about the controllers/joysticks used, which could be a problem, but now I doubt it. 

On the internet, players seem to be having a fairly common problem with this game getting stuck at 90% of the loading time of the story mode... 

So I don't really know what the cause is (and if it is related to the quadtcik/FGC2).

 If anyone experiences this problem and finds a solution, I'd love to hear it.

Best regards,

Christophe

Hey

 I played GTA5 last week and I didn’t have any problems. FGC2 adapter here.

QuadStick-PS4 mode + T2 flag

FGC2-up to date 

PS5-wired communication, disable the Bluetooth (many QuadStick users didn’t do it because the many video tutorials didn’t mention it , their PS5’s BT been disabled since Cronus Zen)
