PS3 Controller Issues

[SanatKumara]

This is the strangest thing..

First of all, my controller was working just fine not an hour or so ago, though it did show signs of this issue on my last login.

The issue is, that upon logging into the Square Enix Account, my controller ceases to function at all, save for the use of the PS button. Upon pushing the PS button, all controls resume proper function, and I can navigate the PlayStation Console menu's. Regardless of this, once I exit the PS menu, the controller reverts back to being unable to function. I cannot press up, or down, or use the analog. I can't use the X, the Square, O, or Triangle button.

I've attempted to turn the controller off, and turn it back on, which did it the last time I tried logging in, thus I figured it was just a battery issue. Considering that, I decided to try with it plugged in to the PlayStation console. That didn't work.

I am forced to watch the Start menu pass me by, and watch the game cinematics on repeat, until I figure this out.

The weirdest part about it... is that I can use all controller functions as normal in the Square Enix login screen, but not the proceeding screen.
