Controller Stopped Working (xbox)

[Devinous]

For some reason the triggers on my xbox controller have stopped working and I have made no changes for any games. I played about a month ago and it worked fine but when I tried starting up a game today the movement and buttons do what they are supposed to but the triggers and bumpers do not. Another words I can switch to a drill or gun but cant use it. I tried switching out controllers and they all do the same thing. Has there been any recent updates that tried fixing something that wasnt broke :)? This is rather annoying as the settings do not give you the option to map anything, I have one option to change to and that is flight alternative. Anyone have this issue and has a fix? Thank you! (also tried clicking on restore defaults in SE but that did nothing)

Hi, you are not the first having problems, something to do with "Steam Input" + Controller.

Some have shared a solution you could try :

I will specify :

You can find 2 way to fix in the above link :

1 - "Okay looks like I determined the issue and while didn't play yet the menu was working well.

Seems like its an issue with the Steam Input - I set it to Forced Off and now Space Engineers not only detected it was an Xbox One controller but all buttons were working."

2 - " this actually did not work the first time I tried it, I ended up restarting my PC then rebooting steam and it still wouldn't work, then I did it again after resetting the controller download files on steam on here under controller settings. IF ANYBDOY you run across this issue tell them to redownload the drivers to their controller then restart steam then turn it to forced off"

First let me say thank you for responding so quickly, its nice to know Devs are on it man. But I hate to say this, that just made things worse lol. When the game starts now I have to go into setting and select the controller (it shows it as xbox now at least rather than some gibberish) but the second I select the xbox controller and select OK the game crashes. I tried changing back the settings in Steam but that didnt help. There is some good news on a fix though, it generated a few crash reports that I sent over. Hopefully this helps, but as for me and a controller, looks like I am SOL lol.

Hard for me to test this "Bug" cause I don't have a controller and the best you can do would to contact the ones working on the game, to let them know in case they have to hotfix the game and need to chat with someone having the bug.

+ They may have a better solution, too!

Note


We lock +3 months old discussions because the game is not the same after a update where old disscussions may contain false information, discussions that don't have any activity so no new posts since 3 months. also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old" and it is in the forum rules added to pinned green messages.

Never be shy to create a new forum discussion, one problem at a time so all players can help on one idea/problem per discussions that matches the game version.
