Controller not working.

I'm I the only one having this problem?
I have the Xbox One controller, and it doesn't work.(worked in the past).
Tried different profiles, started with Vulkan and nothing...

I have an older Xbox controller and only recently it has decided it doesn't like Valheim or Valheim doesn't like it.

I have to start the game, and THEN turn on the controller.

If I exit the game for any reason and come back in, I have to pop the batteries out to turn the controller "off" so I can turn it back on and get Valheim to recognize it.

Seems to only be an issue with Valheim.

May not be your issue, but worth a try if you haven't already.

Tried that and didn't solve the problem. ;(

I had to Unplug/Plug my Xbox clone controller to get Valheim to recognize it?? If I hotswap live, I can get the controller polling back and it works. If I start with the controller plugged in, Valheim doesn't seem to register it as human input...and I need to unplug/plug it back into my computers[win10 laptop, win7 desktop]...and then it works and I can use it! Never did that before??
