Duck Game - Unable to map some controllers after recent update
Suddenly, some controllers are not recognized by Duck Game anymore on my PC. I have three controllers that I have been using before with Duck Game, and they all worked fine (Steam Input is disabled, as it always was). Now, only one of the three controllers work. The controller that works is recognized as a Pro EX controller by Duck Game, its a "Play" branded PS controller. I believe it came from Gamestop originally.

However, the other two are unable to be remapped by Duck Game, even though Duck Game does see inputs from them (they work in the menu and game, but only with the default controls Duck Game loads).

The first is a wireless Bluetooth controller, an iDroid:Con by Snakebite. If it go into Duck Game settings and try to look at the button mappings for the controller, all I see is ??? for each control. If I try to hit enter to remap one of those ??? controls, Duck Game isn't able to recognize any inputs from the controller and I can't map anything from the controller to the controls. However, it does otherwise work in the game, and I can use it to play, so long as I'm fine with the defaults Duck Game has for it.

The second controller is a bit more interesting. The bluetooth one I hadn't remapped before when it was working, so it just used the default controls from Duck Game. However this one I had remapped before, back when Duck Game settings was able to map inputs for it. It's a generic wired USB PS3-like controller, and it has always worked with Duck Game on the 3 different PCs I used it on. However, none of those PCs are able to remap the controller anymore either, and the menu shows ??? for all controls, just like the BT controller. However, even though the menu shows ??? for all my controls, my previous mappings are still saved when Duck Game is loaded. If I plug the controller in, Duck Game loads my previous mappings, and it all works as expected. This means Duck Game does see the controller, and is able to reload the saved mappings for it that I have. But for some reason, the menu isn't allowing me to change the control mappings anymore.

Hopefully this can be looked into, I would really like to use Duck Game with controllers again without having to deal with these weird mapping issues.

Also, as I mentioned, this happens on multiple PCs, and also multiple operating systems. It happened both on Windows 10 x64, and Windows 7 x64. However, when I launched Duck Game on my Win 7 PC recently, Steam installed Visual C++ 2015-2019 for some reason, when it didn't before. What caused this change?

I'm having the same problem with a steelseries 3gc controller. It detects the default inputs but won't allow me to alter the controls, with everything in the control menu bound to "???"
I hope this can be fixed soon, as our house only has one computer, and only two of us can play at a time due to not being familiar with what button does what by default.
