Radio station changes when trying to taunt/compliment

[[V] IdolNinja]

While in the open world, if you are moving the left thumbstick at all (even slightly) while holding the dpad left/right, then instead of doing a taunt or compliment it will change to the next/previous radio station instead. If you stand perfectly still before pressing the dpad then the taunt/compliment triggers correctly. When the radio station changes because of this, it does not bring up the radial at all. It just happens. This is a frequent occurrence since I will often run towards an npc/alien and attempt to taunt when getting close.

This bug occurs on the PC while using a 360 controller. I have tested this on an actual 360 and that works as expected. i.e. the radio only changes while holding down B for the weapon radial and using LB/RB.

There's an open bug up for this, I'll comment that you're getting this too

I've had this happen too but I didn't know it was related to the left thumbstick. Thanks for confirming I'm not insane. lol

I've found if I want to change the radio stations on foot without bringing up the radial (standing still or moving) I have to hold down the D-pad buttons, and only inconsistently can I do taunts/compliments. It's really strange...

As a patch suggestion I'd suggestion disabling the dpad radio changer completely. The radial is fine, and it will stop conflicting with taunts and complements. (That's how I found it too, and never knew it was for in a car)
