NEW CONTROLLER SUPPORT HIJACKING MY RIGHT STICK TO USE AS A MOUSE

[Princess Chloe]

Hopped back into dark souls 3 to help a friend, pick up my controller and the moment I touch my right stick the camera flies off like the sensitivity is set to some ludicrous value that isn't even possible in game because apparently steam decided it wanted to hijack my mouse so the right stick was controlling that on top of the camera.

I do some digging and steam has some new controller support ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and its screwing with games that already had controller support.

Even after disabling this crap's ability to bind my mouse to the right stick, the camera is still at stupidly high speeds until I hit start to bring up the menu, when the menu is up the camera returns to my normal setting and upon exiting that it stays like that until I alt tab for any reason.

Their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ support also made holding RT Freeze the game for roughly 4 frames before not charging a strong attack but rather simply launching it, so I had to fiddle with that ♥♥♥♥ and disable some more crap

STEAM, PLEASE FIX THIS ♥♥♥♥ OR AT LEAST LET US TURN IT THE ♥♥♥♥ OFF

My controller worked Perfectly before.

A friend of mine had this happen, the solution is to turn xbox controller support off in big picture mdoe. It's labelled somewhat unintuitively, but it will hopefully fix your problem. Good luck!

Developers set the controls, so it's not Steam's fault if they set a Steam Controller layout to trigger for another controller.

Just select a standard gamepad layout in the config and it'll be sorted. You'll also then have access to very useful binding options, like autofire, short or long presses - both doing different things and full blown macro queuing on a single button.

In DS games, I tap my DS4's touchpad to kick, for example.

"Just select a standard gamepad layout in the config and it'll be sorted" how?

Right click the game in your Steam list and select Edit Steam Controller Configuration (with controller connected or it won't show).

The configurator will pop-up. Then either click Browse Configs, or Press X on the controller.

It did not work for me. I had to launch the game, press Shift+Tab and there had to disable the controller. Then I had to restart the game and now it works as it should.
Damned Valve.

Good advice. That was my first instict too, but it resulted in sensitivity issues, such as d-pad button presses often getting detected multiple times (despite only being mapped once). Disabling the controller altogether lets it get handled the way it did previously.
