Bug Unity crashes every time when I have xbox one controller connected

Hi,

Unity crashes on launch if I have my xbox one controller connected (either via bluetooth or cable). It will also immediately crash if I connect the controller after Unity has been launched.

I am using the beta version of unity: 2021.2.0b5
I have also tried with a bunch of different versions and every one of the crashes except only the versions with LTS.

I am not using LTS versions because I need packages that are not available in those. Is this something that can be fixed?

The crash log:

Your OS, and Computer, what are they?

 

Ah apologies! forgot to add that in.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (but I want to build apps across different platforms)
PC: Tower PC (CPU: AMD® Ryzen 7 2700x eight-core processor, GPU: GeForce RTX 2060, RAM: 16GB)
Controller: Xbox one wireless controller
Connection with the PC: Tried bluetooth (with a dongle (TP-Link UB4A)) or USB-C (controller side) to USB2/3 (PC side)

 

The good news and the bad news.

You've almost certainly narrowed it down to the way Unity's taking and handling whatever your OS and motherboard provide in terms of Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

The bad news... these sorts of issues take forever for Unity to fix, especially if you're using something "exotic", like Linux or MacOS.

If you're using the old input system, try using the new one, and vice versa.

If you've got anything running that also taxes the South Bridge, turn that off or kill those operations, as best as you can.

If you've got strong anti-virus stuff protecting your ports, see if you can make explicit permissions for the controller.

 

Thank you for your answer.

I did try before posting this thread changing the input systems (old, new and both) none of them works.

I think I will just use the LTS version and figure out what to do with the packages I have been using in the other version.

Again, thank you!

 

Same issue here. Same OS, Unity Editor 2021.2.7. Whether via wired-USB or wireless (dongle).
Can be reproduced every attempt.

I reported the bug with more details, but I don't see it in their tracker yet.

 

Same issue here, but I can say that it has nothing to do with bluetooth. I plugged it in via USB and had the same exact issue on 2 different computers.

I've tried Xbox One and Xbox Series controllers.

I have a desktop Ryzen 2700X PC with Nvidia GTX 1080 running Fedora 35.

The same occurs on my i5 laptop, also running Fedora 35.

I haven't tried a dongle-based connection but both USB and BT both experience the same failure.

Sucks that Unity hasn't provided any feedback in this forum thread.

For what it's worth, my project works in Linux with the old input manager, however, when I do a build for Windows none of the input axes match across OS platforms. Only the left thumbstick is the same. The right thumbstick in Windows behaves like the triggers in Linux. It's a nightmare. That's why I was switching to the new input system in the first place (which is what caused the crash for me)

 

Same happens with Windows 10, Unity 2021.1.16f1, Corsair's iCUE Nexus USB device. How to solve problem then?

When Nintendo Switch controller connected to PC via bluetooth, unity immediately crashes.
