Xbox One Controller not working on mac
initially I thought that mac had a compatibility problem, but I have tried multiple games and it works with the control correctly but, unfortunately this is not the case, the control is recognized, however it does not take it

I have also tried activating native control, giving all permissions to the game, deactivating steam input and combinations of these options, it just doesn't work

Mac Os Big Sur
Imac mid 2019

I have this game on my consoles and I have given it away several times because I think it is wonderful but I want to get the achievements on steam and it just doesn't detect the control.

pts also reinstall the OS just for the game, and it just doesn't work

Now it works, but unfortunately it does not work correctly

What's happening? Does the game stop responding to inputs? Are inputs weird (e.g. face button moves character left)?

Same issues if connected via USB?

You can try installing the 360Controller driver for Mac OS:
https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha.6

Click Assets to see the dmg to download.

With this installed then try the variance of Native Input/ Steam Input on/off.
I'm thinking Native Input on but Steam Input I'm more uncertain of.


Other option is to use Steam Input to apply a controller config that is mapped to the keyboard. Won't have controller button prompts but I can mod it so it does. Just one area I've not been able to get controller prompts yet.
