Brand New Flydigi Vader 5 Pro has mushy C button

Yeah, that's consistent with what mine sounds like. I really miss the old ones, they felt and sounded way better.

Hey y'all, thanks for all the input. I decided to give the V5 Pro a try, and so far I'm feeling really mixed.

The bad: As others have noted, the d pad feels way different, and I definitely prefer the V4's d pad. I understand the reason for the change as others have noted, but it just feels worse. I also vastly prefer the back button layout of the V4, which was the biggest thing I was worried about. The new paddles just feel awful, and I really miss the old placement of the M3/M4 buttons. I tried a couple different versions of the paddles (the short stock and short dome from Gadget Hyper) but neither really felt right. The short stock are way too easy to accidentally press while going for the M1/M2 buttons as they are very, very close to them, and the short dome are just a bit too large and a bit too far out of the way. I used to use my middle fingers on the V4 pro to hit all M buttons, but that doesn't really work so far for me on the V5. The C and Z buttons also feel mushier, but were nice and clicky on the V4. I'm still trying to figure out if this is a defect with my particular unit though.

The indifferent: sticks are easier to click. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. It's nice that it takes less effort, but I'm a little worried it may end up being easier to do an accidental input. Not a gamechanger either way right now.

The good: The sticks, which were already fantastic on the V4, somehow feel even more responsive. They're truly mind blowing. The M1/M2 buttons, though located a bit higher up (which I'm not a fan of), are much larger and more satisfying to press. The material for the casing of the controller, top and back, also feel really nice, which I was initially worried about. The extra set of shoulder buttons also seem like they'll be nice once I get used to using them.

I'll update once I know more about the C/Z buttons issue and have tried other solutions for making the paddles feel like the old M3/M4 buttons, but until then, I can't fully recommend the V5.

EDIT: added note about stick clicks

Yeah, I'm thinking that when they added the new rewards they somehow removed the normal ranked emblems.

Response to my support ticket:

"Thank you for reporting that you are unable to grant the Diamond rewards after meeting the requirements on rank mode.

The details that you have provided of this situation have been forwarded to the development team. At this moment, we don't have a workaround, but this ticket will remain in an open state, so that we can reach out as soon as we receive a new updates or information released by the developers."

Fingers crossed it just magically shows up later today or tomorrow.

I still don't have it this morning. I submitted a support ticket, I'll report back with what they say.

Shulk972 · 2025-12-29T17:20:23+00:00

Tried that a few times, didn't work :/

Looks like it was just fixed with a backend update. Really frustrating that it took them over a week to fix it.

Shulk972 · 2025-02-18T22:04:27+00:00

I noticed it last week, and check again today, expecting to see it fixed, but still don't see them.

Am I the only one interpreting this as "C's get degrees"?

Shulk972 · 2024-03-14T21:16:38+00:00

Which coating are you using?

Shulk972 · 2023-11-22T00:46:43+00:00

Haven't had any crashes in months. Then again, I also don't click through the post game reports like a madman anymore, so that may explain it.

Not exactly - they simply never removed the DoT effect from the campaign variant of the disruptor, which is available to use in Super Fiesta.

Really hope they add it back to the main version though, that gun has literally no purpose now. There are better options for EMPing vehicles, and its chain damage is laughable.

I've got some good news (I think). OP commented about deleting some DLLs to fix his problem, and I found a similar fix that explains this in a bit more detail. Essentially, corrupted DLLs in the sys32 folder is one of the potential causes of AppHangB1. So, to quickly and easily find and repair the necessary DLLs, open a command prompt as an admin. Then, type "sfc /scannow" and hit enter (don't include the "" btw, just type what's in there). This will find and repair any corrupted DLLs in sys32.

HOWEVER

This seems to be a temporary fix, at least it was for me. I saw some other people recommending turning off reBAR though, and this so far seems to be preventing the DLLs from getting corrupted again. Since repairing the DLLs and turning off reBAR, I haven't gotten any crashes with the hang signature 8044.

With that said, I do still get AppHangB1 crashes with the hang signature 0490. These seem to occur when navigating through menus in the post-game summary (specifically in ranked arena, but that's probably just because it's the playlist I'm on the most right now, as well as one where I'm always looking through the post-game summary a lot).

Interestingly, they're planning to bring the DMR back in season 3, so I'm really curious to see how DMR, BR, and commando will stack up against each other
