Unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do. We use every controller types and many others do too. Very few run into this issue. This post was referring to when Steam Overlay was turned off for testing purposes. The game does indeed support Xbox, Dual Shock, and Switch controllers. Steam handles most other controller types. I’ve seen a couple players run into this same issue and it eventually sorted itself out which leads me to believe it’s on Steams end or some 3rd party software is interfering. Sorry you’re running into this issue. :/

Try a wired xbox controller. i'm using the linux version now to run the game, and the wired xbox controller isn't working properly. the steamdeck controls work when undocked, I just wanted the best of both worlds lol. sometimes I get this error: NW.js with version number of the game; don't have screen shots.it seems as if steams overlay is conflicting with other control options. Did you use a wired official xbox controller; I have a sonic blue xbox wired controller, and the buttons are not correct

Yeah we used an official Xbox controller. To my knowledge the only controller with flipped controls would be the Nintendo Switch since X & Y and A & B are flipped.

Okay so my generic Nintendo switch controller works when wired in, with all of the buttons recognizable and are correct according to the icons, but the game thinks it is an Xbox 360 controller 😂; which is fine with me just wanted to play on my tv. When I try to play with my generic Nintendo switch controller via Bluetooth, the game doesn’t even recognize it as a controller, and of course my steam deck does recognize it as a Nintendo switch controller. It appears that the generic controllers have limited or no functionality at all. I’m getting a new Xbox One controller x. I stayed away from these controllers because of drifting issues within the Bluetooth environment. Plus I wasn’t able to download drivers for the new Xbox One controller in order for the steam deck to recognize it as usable. Great game so far. One issue I think should be minimized is when you walk into a room, I would get a black screen like it’s loading, but it never stops loading. Which then I have to exit out the game, so if the game wasn’t saved up until that point, then that can be frustrating. Never the less, that is a rare occasion and the game is still worth buying even if you just play on tv, or exclusively undocked!

Did there turn out to be a fix for this? I haven't played for a bit and I tried to come back and none of my controllers work. I have disabled and re-enabled steam inputs, disconnected and reconnected the controllers as well but nothing seems to work and they are fine in other games. I even moved to the beta build but they do not work there either.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I do use a wired XBox controller. The issue of controller not working with the steam deck docked is common. Unfortunately there isnt anything I can do if issues are occuring to users who play docked. :/

So it wasn't working for me when disabling Steam input, in fact I had no controller access at all. I went hunting for answers and eventually what worked is that I closed Steam completely, then went into the main folder Steam > Config and then I deleted the virtualgamepadinfo.txt file and opened up the config.vdf file. I then searched for sdl in the .vdf file and "SDL_GamepadBind" showed up - I deleted EVERYTHING after the quotes for "SDL_GamepadBind" and saved and exited. After that I made sure Steam Input was disabled for the game and now my controllers work fine again. Interestingly, the controllers still work perfectly in all previous versions of BioGun (Demo and Clinical Trial) regardless of Steam input being disabled or not.
