MacBook and Steam Controller -- Controller not working

[ketamine mammal]

Anyone else having this issue? HK doesn't seem to recognize the steam controller. I've tried running the game in big picture, using the controller wired instead of wireless...



Bug report was submitted, but wondering if anyone else has a fix for this that I can use now.

I am having a similar issue. I play through Gamesteam on the nVidia Shield TV and it won't recognize the controller. not happy

I have not been able to get the Steam Controller working with Hollow Knight on a late 2016 MacBook Pro, with weird inconsistencies:

• The *first* time I launched the game from Big Picture mode, the controller was working. I could move around the cursor with the left touchpad, and use the joystick to navigate the menu, etc.

• Every time I launch the game now, the game doesn't detect input from the Steam Controller. (But I can access the Steam Overlay by pressing the Steam button on the Steam Controller.)

• The game stubbornly doesn't want to "full screen" and crashes periodically when I launch it from Steam.

I've never had the Steam Controller work totally correct on *any* game I've tried it with on MacOS. This is frustrating to me because I bought Hollow Knight specifically to have a "full" experience for once with the Steam Controller and a game that could actually use it well, and I have been teased by the controller only working the first time launched the game...

Can't get it to even get to the menu consistently without freezing (5 freezes out of 7 attempts) and then the controller doesn't work.

Bump , same issue. OS X with Steam Controller. Any fixes?

[ketamine mammal]

Nothing but good ol' dev silence. Controller recommended tho. I mean, as long as you find one that works.

[MrBones]

Yeah, I'd like to know if this is even something that will become available....otherwise I'll return my steam controller...

Same Issue. Steam controller works in main Steam menu, but will not work in-game.

Steam support has been responsive to my initial inquiry so far, but has not solved the issue yet. I've linked them to this discussion - hoping for the best!

Gaming on a macbook pro mid 2015 release and yeah, I know, I had it coming.

The same issues described are also present when using a Dualshock 4 controller on MacOS as well. Controller works in Big Picture and with other games, not with Hollow Knight.

Same problem using Steam Controller on MacBookPro. Will sometimes only work in game play to run back and fort but no buttons work. Big pic makes no difference. Bought this specifically to use with steam controller bcs advertised as compatible. Requested refund.

Looks like I've contacted the steam customer service with this and they said they were able to reproduce this exact issue, but has not been able to follow up on whether or not they are actually working to fix this issue and what time frame it will finish. I wish dev team were able to be more transparent with the progress of this and maybe give me a partial credit back.

I received a full refund on this purchase. Just bummed bcs genuinely wanted to play this game. So far Steam Controller's compatibility on my MacBook Pro is a major issue after purchasing. I have about a 50% success rate of it working with games on Steam that say compatible. Thankfully, I have received a refund on all controller incompatible games so I feel cust service is being fair and I will continue to try my luck with new games if they continue to refund me when it does not work.
