PlayStation [PS4] Hotbar continuously switches items by itself (possible controller input bug)

Hello,


I’m experiencing a bug on PlayStation 4 that makes the game almost impossible to play.


Platform: PlayStation 4


Game version: Latest 1.6 update


Game type: Digital


Description


As soon as I enter any farm, my hotbar starts switching items by itself continuously, as if L1 or R1 is being pressed repeatedly.


The selected slot moves one slot at a time, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, without me pressing any buttons.


The issue happens constantly and never stops while playing.


At the main menu, the controller sometimes does not respond until I turn the controller off and back on.


Troubleshooting already completed


  • Tested two different controllers.
  • Tested multiple save files.
  • Created a completely new farm.
  • Created a new PS4 user profile.
  • Reinstalled the game completely.
  • Restarted the PS4 several times.
  • Other games work perfectly with both controllers.
  • The issue only occurs in Stardew Valley.

The problem started suddenly without any changes to the console or controllers.


Because the problem persists across different controllers, save files, and user profiles, it appears to be a game-specific issue rather than a hardware problem.


If necessary, I can provide a video demonstrating the issue.


Thank you for your time.
