Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/issues/2637

Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Diagonal movement seems to be broken from this pull onwards. Ingame (tested in Bloodborne) the character stops for a moment when switching to any diagonal direction, and the changes also seem to introduce more input latency. The way the controls were handled before these changes were better.

Reason

For a better experience using KBM controls.

Examples

link to a before-after video
In the second part of the video you can see the character staggering for a moment when changing directions

Is it fixed and just not pushed to release? The latest pre-release (05.10) exhibits the same behavior as before.

@kalaposfos13 Assuming I launched it correctly - placing the .exe in the games folder and running shadPS4 CUSA 03173 through command line - no, the issue still persists

I see the issue, my fix got accidentally overwritten after a merge, I'll add it back after I get back home.

I ended up rewriting it basically from scratch using a different approach, but it's available now, if you want to check it out.

For the record, I did stumble upon a related, but different input bug in Bloodborne whilst testing this, which is that if you sprint forwards with holding W and space (assuming you have space bound to circle and WASD bound to the left joystick), then let go of W for a few frames, then press A, your character does a full 180 degree turn for some reason. However, @UltraDaCat has been very kind and provided a console test with Chiaki's keyboard-to-controller emulation, and the same thing happened, so I can safely say that that one is Not My Bug™.

@kalaposfos13 Thank you, it works now. It even handles changes in diagonal directions better than before. Hope to see this incorporated into the main branch soon
