My steam controller works perfectly

Same problem here, I can't control the camera whilst Max is moving. Also, as soon as I move the camera using the Steam Controller, the button prompts switch to keyboard and mouse icons. Frustrating! Anybody have a solution for this?

maybe here:

I usually run my steam with god privileges with the task scheduler and I turned admin off. This may or may not be necessary but this is what I did.
TURN THE CONTROLLER OFF... 100% off before you start the game.
As the game is loading but before the avalanche splashes and such come up, this is where I turned the controller on. After testing this has to be the time to turn it on or it won't work. Right after the black area at the bottom of the screen loads up and the white loading logo in the bottom right. At that point, the whole "using configs from cammelspit" came up right then and that is where it worked.
If there is any, and I mean ANY erroneous input on your actual mouse or KB it will lock out the mouse and the SC too. This includes from the second you click play. I have a wireless KB and mouse so I simply turned them off 100% with the switch. I am serious, not even one pixel of movement. In the steam overlay OR the game, desktop absolutely NOTHING.


If all went well, when you move your thumb on the right pad the XBOX style prompts will not go away and that is how you know it has worked.

And now I play, it is supposed to be a great game so I am slightly less torqued off now.

I can not in any way guarantee this will work for anyone else but it is, as always, worth a shot.

I've tried this over and over and it is not working. Any further tips to make this work? Are you sure it is allowing simultaneous controller and mouse input? Thanks for your help.

Hey
Thanks for the long reply. I was unable to get that to work either. What I have done though, is start with the recommended template and then edit the right pad to simulate joystick camera and then just changed the curve under advanced to extreme or something like that. I can turn the machine on later and give you the exact settings. If you have it as joystick camera it can work simultaneously with the left stick. The only thing you'll find is the camera move is quite slow but at least you'll be able to play. I think I'm going to order an Xbox one wireless controller, as that will work on all controller supported games as intended. The steam controller always feels like it's emulating.

Bumping this one again. I really wish this would get fixed. It still has the config that is broken as the recommended setup for the steam controller.

only other thing I'm aware of is going into your device manager...look for 'conflicts' and run the 'look for upgrade' to the steam controller...also check under the 'Human Interface Devices'...there was something about disabling one of them to get a wireless xbox one controller working...maybe it can be done for the steam controller.Maybe try unplugging anything else(KB/ Mouse) in to see if it'll work.

This is frustrating, I have the same problem. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with the controller for 2 hours is not fun. And the 15 minutes of actual gameplay so far have been typical console crap live action motion capture and go fetch a wire. This one's probalby going to be a return.

So yea this is frustrating, the only way I had a playable experience with the steam controller was like i mentioned above to change the right pad to 'joystick camera' and then change acceleration to aggresive. It is playable, and keeps all the prompts as controller prompts. To be honest, I now play with keyboard and mouse purely because i hate auto aim. Although driving makes more sense with a controller. Not sure what else to suggest.

same on Linux, can't control camera while moving and after using some button, it looks always to ground. In menu is mouse cursor on top of the screen and if I move it down, it will move itself back up and stay on top. Updated Steam Controller, working with other games. I used it to play whole Tomb Raider with no issue.

Edit: Looking down was resolved by mapping right trigger to left shift or let right trigger pressed (addeshive tape is good for this purpose) and set right pad to Mouse Joystick.

Edit2: Now I'm playing with Mouse Joystick on right pad, only issue is while standing, camera is jumping around so I mapped right pad press to RS press centering view. While standing and moving finger over pad, everything is ok, but when I'm interrupting move, camera starts to jump around player model. I think it is because game is changing controller/keyboard+mouse modes when there is no controller input. Other way to work around is to map right trigger from shift to default(right trigger) and let it pressed (adeshive tape can do this for me) and be always running. it generating controller input and prevents game to switch to keyboard+mouse mode. Setting right pad to Joystick Camera is not an option for me, because it feels uncomfortable.

I need some launch parametter to set game to use controller input only and don't switch to keyboard+mouse while there is not any controller input.

I decided to check back since they updated the game to work on Mac and Linux. Still have issues with the Steam Controller despite it having been advertised as a Steam Controller game, and also it working in the past for other folks (an update somewhere with either the game or the controller messed it up). Can't believe this hasn't been addressed, as plenty of people have posted about this problem all year, and I see enough mods on here that they have to know about it.
