ReStory Atari Joystick Report: Historical First-Order Issue
A December 2025 discussion describes a first-order joystick apparently disappearing, while other posts suggested it could be boxed or shelf-stored. A player-reported restart helped one case, but the thread is neither a developer diagnosis nor release-build evidence.

Recommended player action
First inspect shelf and parts-box state, then treat restart only as a historical player report. Do not discard the order or infer current-save corruption without a released-build reproduction.
Before reporting the problem
Confirm the issue on your current build before treating an older player report as a working fix. Include the platform, version, device, reproduction steps, and save impact in a new report.
