Controller Support Issues (Switch Pro & 8bitdo)

[PimpSlayer]

Space Marines 2 is very picky with what controllers are compatible with the game or not.

I can't get my Switch Pro Controller or the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller to work. DualSense and Xbox controllers still work from what I can tell, but I don't wanna buy a brand new controller to play 1 game.

PLEASE fix this issue ASAP!

I bought the 8bitdo same controller to play Space Marines 2, and it wont work at all. Not through bluetooth or wired WTF. Hope it gets fixed quick.

Same here. Playing with keyboard and mouse until fixed, feels kind of clunky, though.

Releasing your game on Steam without Steam Input working, fail! Having the same issues on 2 different PC's with both wired and wireless 8bitdo controllers. Hopefully they can fix this soon.

Hey everybody, I have a solution that worked for me (after hours of troubleshooting) to fix the 8BitDo connection to Space Marines 2. I knew it was some weird interaction with this game specifically because the controller works for all other games.

I have the 8BitDo Ultimate BT controller for reference. To get the game to work, I do the following:
1) I keep my controller docked
2) I turn on Space Marines 2, pass through the menus, and get into the game itself.
3) THEN I undock my controller, and voila, it connects to the PC and gets detected.

Just in case it still doesn't work for you, I did try enabling all the settings under the Steam Settings > Controller > Enable Steam Input for Xbox, Switch Pro, and Generic controllers before I did this.

I was trying wired switch pro controller. Due to this response, I tried unplugging and plugging the controller back in after I got into the a game. It still wouldn't work. However, It does take the inputs if I'm simultaneously holding down the home button.

Anyone figured this out?

Until now I just can use XOutput to mapping, but no vibration and latency

I managed to fix it. With Steam Input activated, go to button settings > community settings, download and apply AngryPixel Switch Pro controller

Razer Riaju doesn't work with the game either.

Steam Input? Where?

Found it, right click the game in your library list and go to Settings
