Controller Not Working

[Macintop]

Controller isn't working in the menu or game. Tired the usual restart (computer and game), Verify Game Files, check for any updates, but no luck.
I submitted a ticket but wanted to know if anyone else had this issue (and might have a fix)

OH!!! Controller now works using Xbox Bluetooth on Windows 10 if I ENABLE Steam Input (not disable or use default settings)!!!

lol. this is so random, we just made opposite settings and both solve it :D

Go to the settings gear icon on the game page in your library (should be lower right under the banner at the top), go to properties > Controller, and then instead of "Use Default" select "enable steam input" see if that fixes it?

Windows 10 Pro, Xbox Series wireless controller via bluetooth. This advice helped. Now I can enjoy the game properly.

Settings/controller/general settings make sure the box is checked next to Xbox or Playstation depending on which one you are using. That's what fixed my issue.

Same here. Streaming over WiFi to stream deck

Thanks buddy!

Mac OS, Monterey. SAME HERE. FFS. More of the same computer industry BS.

Game controllers don't work in Steam games. Firewatch was the previous one I was trying to get to work, without any success (it also doesn't accept resolution changes, and nobody cares to solve it for Mac users).

Why is it that game controllers are like printers? After four decades of computing, you'd think this would be BASIC functionality.

me too :'( mac m1 monterey. stanley parable deluxe refuses to acknowledge my ps4 controller regardless of what controller settings i've got configured: ps controller support checked, unchecked--makes no difference. (and yet hades works just fine with it tho!) so i'm destined to be hunched over my laptop if i want to attempt to enjoy the game i just shelled out for

This issue has been a year,still not fixing :(

[dysamoria]

Anyone had any success with the privacy settings for input devices and keyboard? That seemed to fix Firewatch. Since when is a game controller a keyboard...?

Worked for me. Thanks for posting your solution!

Got xbox one wireless controller, Win 10. Tried enable and disable Steam input. No sign of life from this game.

Hello everyone! 😎 After being way too close from tearing my hair out, I've found a 100% valid solution.

Unfortunately, it only works if your controller can operate in DirectInput mode. I have 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4GHz, decided to flip the switch from XInput to DirectInput and it works flawlessly.

Also, I kept Steam Input enabled. No need to disable it whatsoever using DirectInput.

For those who still struggling with controller, through library you have to go to Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe where you will go to controller settings on right side where it shows your controller icon, on that settings menu there will be option where you can enable inputs ❤️
