Bug Controller freeze game?

[ImanCol]

Describe the bug
I tried this today, I was able to play well for the first few hours.

But then, when entering a canyon in a level near the entrance (the level where there is an abyss, and there are piranhas), the game froze, you could hear the stuttering sound.

I tried to restart the game, the game kept freezing, after I exited Start Game... you could hear Mario's voice stuttering with a black screen. The window freezes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I was just in an online game, the game went from changing levels and looking for stars in random positions, to taking us to Peach's castle like a normal game, after entering 2 or 3 levels and entering that canyon the game started to freeze

Expected behavior

Additional context
I have tried to locate the folders where it is saved, I found \Roaming\sm64coopdx, I tried to delete file by file to see if it improved, but I ended up deleting everything and it still presented the error

As you can see in the title, I thought about the controller I'm using, an 8BitDo Lite 2. I tried to change the Switch Controller mode (Controller Pro mode works) and the game stopped freezing.

Sometimes my controller tends to disconnect (wired mode) due to instability with the USB-C/USB 3.0 cable, and I have to reconnect it to get it working again. The game freezes when I try to reconnect or change the internal mode of the controller

I use a ps5 controller corded and can confirm this is an issue its like the game just forgets you have a controller at all sometimes.
