No Vibration / Rumble on any Controller (DualSense Xbox One S)

No Vibration on any Controller

Summary:
COE33 appears to have input bugs related to controller vibration, potentially involving Steam interaction. Despite extensive testing with various settings on both DualSense and Xbox controllers (complete lack of any vibration/rumble feedback). And only in this game.

Platform: PC (Steam)
Game Version: Current version available (as of April 27, 2025).
Controllers Tested: PlayStation 5 DualSense (Latest Firmware), Xbox Controller.
Connection: Primarily USB Cable (Bluetooth also tested with both controllers)
The game correctly recognizes the DualSense controller natively (shows correct PlayStation button prompts in-game). The Xbox controller also functions correctly for input. However, there is absolutely no vibration/rumble feedback specifically with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (COE33) – with either controller type

Settings Tested (Without Success):

- Ensured vibration is enabled in the in-game settings (re-checked and saved settings consistently).

- Tested with both controller types mentioned above (DualSense and Xbox).

- Steam Input completely disabled (both globally in Steam Settings for relevant controller types and specifically for COE33 in the game's properties).

- Also tested other Steam Input combinations (e.g., fully enabled, enabled only for non-supported games).

- The 'Speakers (Wireless Controller)' audio device for the DualSense is enabled in Windows Sound settings, and its test function confirms it is working.

- Also launched the game through Steam's Big Picture mode.

- Any more ideas??

Controller rumble does work correctly in Steam's settings and controller test mode. Adjustments to the DualSense LED color also work via Steam, indicating the connection between the controllers and the PC/Steam is functioning correctly.

Vibration works correctly in other games, such as Black Myth: Wukong (tested with the Xbox Controller).

Additional Note:
Since all common troubleshooting steps have been exhausted, native controller detection otherwise works, and other users are reporting similar issues, this appears to be a specific bug in the game's implementation of controller vibration APIs (both native DualSense and standard XInput) on PC.

Request @Sandfall Interactive / Valve:
