Cannot Connect Pro Controller

[lorynskya]

Hello, I have tried so many things to try and fix this issue. My pro controller will connect when Steam is in big picture mode. When I boot up Stardew, it will exit big picture mode and then my controls will go back to my keyboard. I don't know if this is an issue because I am using SMAPI for modding or if it has something to do with my MacBook. If anyone has any tips, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you :)

I play Stardew (un-modded) on Windows 10 PC using a (wired) USB cable connection to my Pro Controller.

I am unsure if this will help, but here is one thing which worked for me for a similar issue...

After I boot up Stardew, and it exits big picture mode,
I unplug the Pro Controller cable from USB and then plug it into the USB again.

This seems to force the game to recognise the Pro Controller.

I wish you all the Best of luck and hope this helps.

Have you tried forcing game pad on in options(stardew valley options)? I don't use a switch controller, but I use an 8bitdo sn30+ which emulates a switch, Xbox, raspberry pi and android controller. When I set it to force game pad support it worked for me.

by any chance you disabled the big picture mode explicit in the game options under steam? each game has its own checkbox/dropdown option if i remember right. using steam controller, and for me on Win10 it ever gives me the messagebox at bottom right that it loaded the controller config when the game starts.

I have the same problem. Cant figurate out how to connect the pro controller to Stardew Valley while using Mods. In vanilla the game detects the controller but using mods its giving me problems😭
