Steam Controller joystick, left dpad, back paddles no longer functioning

[HansZarkov]

Steam controller fully functions in steam, I can test all functions in steam and they all work.

If I load TTS it shows at the bottom right at startup that it sees my steam controller and loads my custom setup for it.

In TTS settings I have controller checked.

If I try and bind the paddles (joy1 axis3 + and -) to zoom in, it no longer recognizes any thing when I press the paddle. Before it would bind to a joy axis.

I use to use the left joystick to move the camera view around , this no longer works.

The left d pad use to move the view up down left and right, this also no longer does anything.

3 of the functions I use to play TTS no longer work with my steam controller for no reason at all.

I've checked all the settings in steam and in big picture mode the joystick moves my selections around and the paddles work. But they don't work in TTS.

in windows 10 under game controllers, there is nothing detected.
Under devices and printers, there is a wired controller with a keyboard icon detected for the steam controller.

In big picture mode the steam controller is fully updated and registered. I've been able to use it in the past perfectly fine in TTS.

I have verified the files for TTS, no files were replaced.

Just tested the controller on two pc's both on same account. The problem is now present on both.

The fact I cant get the keybindings to recognize the Joy1 Axis3 in TTS but the paddles do work under the calibration and in steam make me think the problem is with TTS.

bump

Did more testing.

On my windows 8 laptop, that I haven't updated for since September. I put steam in offline mode so it would not update TTS or Steam.

I plugged in my steam controller and everything in TTS worked as expected. My paddles could be bound to joy axis's and all was fine.

I then connected to my internet and allowed steam to update. There were no updates to TTS. After restarting steam and loading TTS, it no longer works.

Something in the latest Steam client seems to have broken the support for TTS and the steam controller.

opt in to the steam beta. Did not fix.

Is there anyway to revert steam to a older version ?

[HansZarkov]

I have a steam link as well and I tested the steam controller on it as well. It also fails to work as expected if I use the steam controller on the steam link and remote play TTS.

Also tried to run steam as admin, nothing fixes this.

contacted steam support, will update with any info...

Sorry for this mess, i can understand that you love the steam controller, but since you mentioned you upgraded to steam beta i can recommend the new PS5 dualsense controller.

Personally i never liked the cheap plastic feel to the steam controller, but i found the touchpad and different button layout intriguing, but with the mini USB port and such the design certainly feels very dated nowadays.

Not all features are unlocked yet. But thanks to the new beta you can at least use it as a normal xox controller.

I got also a steam controller, but i aint using it anymore. I feel especially the rumble pack is too weak for me now :c

Some might say 65 bucks is hefty price for a new controller, but the built in headset jack & crazy rumble pack were alone worth it to me. Gunfire feels much more satisfying now
I also like that the dualsense feels nice & more heavy in the hands too. The steam controller always felt that the plastic would break any moment you make erratc movements with analog sticks xD

The rumble on dualsense is really crazy, but obviously the haptic feedback isn't working yet. But i hope valve is working on implementing 100% of all features though.

In 2020 came cool new gamepad alternatives.

good luck on fixing !

PS: I also believe that your steam client might gotten buggy, did you try third party gamepad config softwares instead?

Can you still operate the mouse function with a ps5 controller? Does your TTS see the joystick as a analogue axis or only digital.

I am not on the beta for steam now since it didn't solve the issue so I reverted.

So far I have a post here, and under the bugs section, and have contacted steam support. They told me to come here and try and get the devs to look into it as there is nothing wrong with the steam controller in other games. (tests fine in solus).

I have worked around it but its no longer seen by TTS as a analogue joystick and only a keyboard and mouse device. I can bind keyboard keys to the joystick function to work around it but its not as good as it use to be.

For me I only use the steam controller for TTS. I never use it for anything else. It was the perfect controller for me, until now. I've tried TTS with Xbox and PS4 controllers but the steam controller with its touch pad for mouse was a game changer for me.

I hope this gets some kind of traction and is looked into at least. It was working fine around sept.
