------------------------------------------------------

This has not been seen until the launch of Endwalker (likely with the new native support for the official Sony adapter/Dualshock 4). It does not happen if the controller is on when the game is launched and when loading in. Though given the queue times, the controller will go to sleep and need to be turned back on once loaded in which is how I saw this happen.

I have the Steam version of the game and only have general controller support turned on in Steam - not Playstation controller support.

I did a search for a similar issue but have not seen one so I apologize if this was reported and missed it.

I have almost exactly the same issue, I have my PS4 controller plugged in so it won't go to sleep but if it gets unplugged at all or even if the cord gets moved enough that it disconnects, it immediately force closes the game. Never happened before Endwalker and I suspect it has to do with the sound support as well. It's incredibly frustrating with the current queue times. Hopefully they fix it soon.
