controller issues

[greysonsoup]

i tested my pro controller with steam and stardew yesterday before the update and it was working just fine. wont work now </3 ive tried anything anyone know what i can do to be able to play this update with my pro controller through steam?

Have not tested on PC but similar issue on steam deck, my pro controller works just fine for everything else but when stardew opens it's not taking any input from it other than to pull up the steam menu, so I can't play docked and have to do handheld.

for additional context i am on a macbook pro... pain... my pro controller only seems to be working in steam big picture mode, but i dont understand fully what that is. when i try to open stardew valley through big picture mode my controller still wont work, only mouse :(

I went to double check and by pro I mean I have xbox pro or elite controller... on PC the Xbox and PS5 controller are both working wired and wireless with the game. Steam Deck still detects the controller for everything up until getting into stardew at which point only the main button works to pull up the steam menu.

*Going into the settings for ALL controllers and enabling the steam input for everything overrode something to make it work again. I couldn't seem to find any other fix.

Replacing the libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib file as per this post fixed the controller for me (M1 Mini Sonoma + SteelSeries Nimbus+):

I had to do this in the past to get the MFi controller working but 1.6 obviously put the problem libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib file back.

Not sure if it'll do the trick for Xbox/PS/Switch controllers, haven't tested those.

I've always used my pro controller on my pc to play Stardew and various other games. Works absolutely fine with other games but since the update my controller has been super buggy with Stardew. Cursor won't snap to the menus, inputs aren't registering, things of that nature. No idea what's causing it and I don't have another controller. It's usable but man does it feel bad.
