Hey there. I’m a console player on PS5, My tab button on my controller used to see the scoreboard stopped working mid game, then also a few settings like crouch and whatnot reset to nothing too in the same game too. Now when i press it it brings a mouse up and i can use it as a mouse? I tried resetting to default settings after countless times trying to apply the tab button as a button but it kept asking for PC buttons and i’m on a controller. Ive checked psn settings and its not got any accessories that aren’t my controller or any keyboard support enabled, and my controller isnt functioning as a keyboard. Ive rebound the scoreboard to the right d-pad for now but my muscle memory isnt helping.
I also lost a Pharah Skin when i reset the game to see if that fixed the tab button, but no it added insult to injury It was a dinosaur bone legendary skin id just gotten :frowning: please help me

Edit*

Seems to have fixed itself, or there was an update :slight_smile: still no skin tho :frowning:

Hello, could you try holding DPad-Left for 2s to toggle this behavior off? We should have a fix for this in the next release.
