Steam Link build 711

[slouken]

We've just released an update to the Steam Link firmware.

NOTE: If you have a wireless Xbox controller, DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR CONTROLLER FIRMWARE. Microsoft's latest controller firmware update is not compatible with the Steam Link, and if you upgrade you'll need to connect your controller wired to the Steam Link.

Changes:

• Added controller tip screen when the guide button is used as a chord to emulate missing controller functionality
  
• Improved support for Xbox One wired controllers
  
• PlayStation controller button images are used when a PS3 or PS4 controller is connected
  
• Fixed support for official Nintendo Switch Pro wired controllers
  
• Added support for various third party Nintendo Switch Pro wired controllers
  
• Nintendo Switch Pro controllers use buttons as they are labeled (e.g. the right face button is A) to match the Steam default configuration
  
• Added support for the Google Stadia Controller
  
• Added support for the Hori Fighting Commander
  
• Added support for the Hyperkin X91
  
• Added support for the Mad Catz FightPad Pro
  
• Added support for the MOGA XP5-A Plus controller
  
• Added support for the NVIDIA Controller v01.04
  
• Added support for the PDP Battlefield One controller
  
• Added support for the PowerA FUSION Pro Controller
  
• Added support for the PowerA PS4 FightPad
  
• Added support for the PowerA XB1 Fusion Fight Pad

What about people like me who already updated their firmware? Will there be a fix for it?

I've been using an 8bitdo SN30 Pro for a few months now with no issues. After build 710, my controller does not respond to input. I have removed and re-paired the controller. Tried a factory reset of the Steam Link. The controller pairs fine, shows up as connected, but does not show up in the Controllers page on the Steam Link. I have tried switching between Classic and Modern Xbox controller driver - no difference. This controller uses X-input, emulates a Xbox 360 controller, and has worked fine before this update. I see several new controller updates - can we bring back support for this one too?

Is this a permanent situation, or is compatibility expected to return at a future date?

Will we be able to freely map the back paddles of controllers like the MOGA XP5-A Plus?

Firmware build: 710
Controller: ZD - N208 (detects as 360 controller)

Issue: after update to build version 710 my steam link no longer acknowledges any controller input. When connected to Host PC, controller functions fine in steam and is recognized by steam. When connected to steam link, controllers connects to its reciever but the steam link does not acknowledge any input from device.

I am using a physical hardware Link.

Any solutions greatly appreciated.

Update: Controller will still power on the steam link. But once the link is on, it no longer recieves commands from the controller

If this particular issue can't be fixed with a Steam Link software update on you'r end, can you try and reach Microsoft Xbox division to see if they can push a new Firmware in the future for the bluetooth functionallity of the controller that will function well with the Steam Link hardware?

I have 3 Xbox One S "bluetooth" controller at home, and now that i've updated them all with the latest available firmware, I can't use any of them on my Steam Link !

[Stalwart385]

I really appreciate that this is getting updates.

Should we have to setup our network and other settings every time an update comes through though?

[Mozgus]

Dammit Microsoft...well, good thing I run Win10 LTSC and cant even accidentally update my xbox controller firmware.

[Forcen]

Wow, that's a lot of new controllers. Any chance you could support the Wii u/switch gamecube controller to usb adapter? It came included with super smash bro on wii u.

My Steam link is unplayable with 2 players now. I have 2 Xbox one powerA mini wired controllers and 1 Steam controller that I tried with. When playing rocket league or other 2 player games as soon as both controllers starts to send input Steam Link lags heavily and disconnects. Have worked flawlessly for months before I tried to play today.

Still having Same issue.

If this Janky Chinese Controller is no longer supported, I get it. I just wish I had gotten some warning?
