Controller support not working

[OxiSeam]

So with the new official game-pad support, I tried plugging in my PS4 controller as i always do with game-pad supported games. I set my controller config through Big Picture Mode to "Game-pad" but when I go into space engineers (with my mouse and Keyboard) and select my controller, It continuously scrolling up to the very top button and I can't exit the controls menu without turning off my controller which then resets my selected controller to default and I can't use my controller. I've tried selecting controller and then unplugging keyboard and mouse and that didn't work. I've also tried different controller configs.

If it helps, the UI also rapidly switches to the controller hints and then the keyboard hints at the bottom of the control menu.

Any help or knowledge on this? I tried using DS4 windows but that came to no avail.



TL;DR selecting controller causes the controls to be menu unusable by constantly wanting to scroll to the very top of the UI thus not allowing me to click the ok button at the bottom and use my controller.

Would there be a way to add a virtual keyboard, like the XB1 version has?

Just got this 3 days ago for XBOX ONE, did the 1st set of tutorial missions, "The First Jump", no problems at all. When I go to the 2nd set, I immediately start have small glitches on the bottom of my screen, can't access "help" from good boy, all buttons are keyboard not controller if I try and configure in the options tab.

Disabling Steam controller options under Steam settings helps a lot, but it still has errors when using controller. I have played on XBOX One and got used the controller, and for most game-play I prefer it over the keyboard and mouse. I have used keyboard and mouse on XBOX One, mainly for accessing menus and renaming blocks. But what I noticed is how the UI will change based on whether it is currently detecting mouse or keyboard input.

When I am using the XBOX controller on PC to play the game, the UI behaves like it is always receiving some sort of keyboard input. So an input with controller briefly flashes the UI for controller, but immediately goes back to keyboard and mouse UI. When in menus, the controller context help at the bottom of the screen will pop up briefly from the controller input, then snap right back to PC UI.

This suggests that some driver or application is constantly sending some sort of keyboard or mouse input to the game. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. I guess I could try disconnecting my mouse and keyboard to see if they are doing something, or perhaps it is one of their drivers, but not sure I want to disable a driver for those or buy different peripheral if it turns out to be one of them doing it.

Could also be keymapping software.

I'm using a ps4 controller. Was having problems but in game menu I went to options>controls>controller selection>wireless controller and it picked up my controller
