PC Gamepad Mode/UI Issues (04-28-2024)

PC/NA, Official ESO Launcher (all game files verified), Gamepad Mode, XboxOne Controller...

For reference:

(Gamepad Mode = On):

(Gamepad Mode = Automatic):

When logging in while Gamepad Mode = On, all Nameplates are using an incorrect size:

If I login while Gamepad Mode = On, then the Nameplates will be using an incorrect size. But when in game if I toggle Gamepad Mode = Off -> On, then the Nameplates will change to the correct size.

Note:
When first logging in while Gamepad Mode = Automatic, the default UI Mode will be the Keyboard UI, and after pressing a button on the controller it changes to the Gamepad UI. When the UI Mode change occurs, it has the same effect as toggling Gamepad Mode = Off -> On, and automatically fixes the Nameplates. So anyone using Gamepad Mode = Automatic would never encounter the incorrect Gamepad UI Nameplates because it gets fixed when the UI Mode is changed.


When Gamepad Mode = Automatic, using the mouse to click menu buttons closes that menu:

If Gamepad Mode = On or Off, using the mouse to click a button in a menu works as intended. But if Gamepad Mode = Automatic and the Gamepad UI is active, using the mouse to click a button in a menu will close that menu (instead of clicking the button) and then change to the Keyboard UI. I'm not sure if this is a bug but it is very annoying and could function differently by allowing us to mouse click menu buttons while Gamepad Mode = Automatic.


After logging in while Gamepad Mode = Automatic, "Lazy Writ Crafter" can not autoloot writ containers:
(This occurs while using an addon, but could be related to the thing mentioned above.)

If I login while Gamepad Mode = On or Off, or if I login while Gamepad Mode = On and when in game change it to Gamepad Mode = Automatic, then using "Lazy Writ Crafter" "autoloot writ container" works as intended and will autoloot the container. But if I login while Gamepad Mode = Automatic, then using "Lazy Writ Crafter" "autoloot writ container" will NOT autoloot the container (instead the menu is shown and will have to manually loot the container). So I think that this is not the addon's fault but it is instead something to do with Gamepad Mode.

    Just wanted to mention what I've went through recently with the Gamepad Mode...

    At first I made a small addon to fix the incorrect Nameplates bug (that's been in game for over a year) because I got tired of toggling Gamepad Mode = Off -> On every time I logged into a character. All this addon does is checks if Gamepad Mode is enabled whenever I log in and if so toggles the setting Gamepad Mode = Off -> On.

    Everything was working fine until... Then I decided to try Gamepad Mode = Automatic since this automatically fixes the Nameplates bug (and I could free up the keybind for Toggle Gamepad Mode). After changing this setting and logging back in I went to do some Crafting Writs, but then I encountered the problem of "Lazy Writ Crafter" would not autoloot the writ containers after logging in while Gamepad Mode = Automatic...

    So after that I made another small addon that changes the setting to Gamepad Mode = On before I log out, and changes the setting to Gamepad Mode = Automatic after I log in. This worked fine for the "Lazy Writ Crafter" problem of not auto-looting writ containers when logging in while Gamepad Mode = Automatic.

    But wait, there's more!... I went to my Guild Bank while Gamepad Mode = Automatic with the Gamepad UI active and tried to click a menu button (Roomba) using the mouse, but it didn't work and it just made the menu close...

    I finally just gave up and went back to using Gamepad Mode = On... I sorta remember trying Gamepad Mode = Automatic years ago but also had problems with it then... (sigh)
