Same problem: shifting rapidly between crusader and online (Wind11) my laptop kinda old (HP ProBook 450 G1) and use old amd vcard (Radeon HD 8750M i guess)
it's normal it respawns, that's the controls setting file. But sometimes it saves wrong and cause what is basically virtual joystick drift. You don't have to delete it everytime, only if the drift happens, which shouldn't come back once you have set up controls.
