# Bloodborne shadPS4: Controls Unresponsive, Character Won't Move or Attack

I'm running Bloodborne on shadPS4 and the controls are completely unresponsive or extremely delayed. The character stands still, won't attack, or moves with a 1–3 second lag. The game launches and displays correctly but everything I press on the controller or keyboard arrives extremely late. Sometimes the game appears to be running in slow motion or is stuck in a loop.
