Buttons won't work in Elden Ring

I’m have a very similar issue, where the roll button, the X button, and sometimes even RB won’t respond at all until I’ve literally hit the button like 5 times, which isn’t normal. As far as I’m aware it’s not a controller issue, as I’ve tried with two seperate controllers and have the same issue. Elden Ring never used to have these issues around the time the game came out, it’s been with the more recent updates that these problems have started.

I’m really hoping From software will provide more updates to hopefully fix these issues, it’s making the game almost unplayable at times. So hold out with your character, I’ve heard lots of reports of this issue so they’ll have to do something to counter it soon enough.

Also try updating your controller just to see if it improves anything. You need a cable connected to your Xbox and controller, then go into settings > Accessories, and it should have the option to update any controllers you have

Also, I’ve heard that un-syncing any extra controllers from your Xbox helps with the performance of the game (strangely), so if you have more than one controller synced to your Xbox, try un-syncing them and only having the one you mainly use connected and synced.

To un-sync a controller, hold down the sync button on the controller and keep holding it until the controller vibrates twice (takes around 10-15 seconds) then it should be un-synced

It goes to the Elden Ring cloud so as long as the accounts are logged into the game it should work fine.
