Steamdeck no game pad/controller controls

[Valiento]

How do I get it to switch back and run on the steam decks controller again?

I’m still having zero luck…. Not sure what broke the gamepad controls on steamdeck….

Its not just Steam Deck, Steam gamepad has broken controls too.

Aiming with right wheel simply doesnt work at all, You can aim, right, but only for cca half second, then your character stop aiming. Which means, you cant play game with such gamepad support.
So slow game with broken controls. How can such crap has very positive rating?

Works on my deck just fine ? Also aim with right stick works fine

I have played the game with both a steam deck and steam controller, and had no issues with either. Having said that, I think I changed the right trackpad's setting to correct the issue noted above (by the second poster)... but I forget specifics.

To answer the question of how to fix it (the opening question), I would need to know exactly what the issue is; more details.

Apparently it’s an issue with the protons that cropped up?

I use GE proton because it fixed cutscenes not playing issue.

However maybe in an update GE proton switched controls to keyboards? If I switch to proton experimental it switches back to controller mode….

Not sure how to fix this…

I didn’t notice it was he proton forcing keyboard until today when I was trying to run Castlevania Chronicles 2 Simons Quest and noticed the same issue of the game trying force keyboard mode when using Proton GE… it’s also another game that needs GE to play cutscenes properly…

Maybe I’ll need to try to download an earlier version of ProtonGE and see if it fixes the issue?

And yep it was protonQT that apparently broke the controls anything higher than version 29 breaks controls…
