Background Processing of Joystick/Gamepad Input when not in focus

Hi,

I’d like to be able to continue controlling the player even while the window is not in focus using a joystick or gamepad but doesn’t seem possible as it stands today. Is something that we could please get added? I’ve been testing on Windows but I suspect that it is the same case on Linux and Mac as well.

Any help on would be very much appreciated.

As time has passed, it may not be necessary anymore …

When focus lost UGameViewportClient :: LostFocus() is called.
At that time, APlayerController :: FlushPressedKeys () called and the inputs are erased.
You can do by overrideing function so that it does not clear the key.
