Guys I am happy to tell you the solution, but i am just as sad about the nature of the solution. I had this same issue but accidently had another problem that led me to solving the whole issue, my controller's *X*button was worn due to excessive use by the previous owner of what now is my Ps4. I couldn't play so many parts of the game because of that, so I had to go get me a new controller *for the record my ps4 is the classic fat*, so i bought what they call the new generation controller the V2 as they claim, and guess what?? the L2 problem ceased to exist, it just functions as if i am on a new console, sad huh....guess they optimized the game for ps4 pro and its controller, since then i didn't have any problem with the game. You can also change the controller settings go to third person controls change it from standard to alternative it will switch L2 to L1 and it worked for me with old controller, unfortunately my problem was a bit bigger than that. best wishes cowboys.
