Controller switch - Dont work ingame

[jrrt_paul]

I become crazy. No way to make may controller work in any game.
I used to use them a moment ago before any trouble. but since almost 6 month no way to use them. I have try all configuraiton possible (stem input actived - or not ) etc..
Nothing chnage.

If i look into steam preference, i can see my controller sitch no trouble.
When i launch a game, i got the small box controller configuraiton loaded. The controllr work, as i can take screenshoot, or go to home steam overlay.

But game itself doesent recognize the controller.
Same happend in all game. Its like the was no controller for the game itself.

Any idea how to fix this ?

Maybe shoulld i erase steam and reinstall it ?

It's the Nintendo Switch Pro controller or third party?

Can the controller navigate Big Picture mode?

Is Steam showing it as a Switch controller? Could check Controller Settings screen or see where the blue dot is on the game properties > Controller.

Is the controller going via an input mapper like DS4Windows, JoyShockMapper etc?

This would be an odd one since you find it affects multiple games but check the controller config.
1. Enable Steam Input
2. Right-click the game in your Steam Library > Manage > Controller layout
3. Choose View Layout
Are the buttons mapped? If it uses the basic gamepad template it'll look like this:

What operating system are you using?

What do you press to take the screenshot? Capture button?

If pressing Capture by itself takes the screenshot then I'm wondering if it's getting that command from the games' controller config or from the Desktop Configuration. Let's see how things are with the screenshot command removed from the Desktop config:

1. Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration
2. Click the Capture button/"Take Screenshot" > Remove > Back > Done
Then see if it still takes screenshots in games.


Also try out this demo
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293170/Bzzzt/

set it to Steam Input disabled (right-click the game in the Steam Library > Properties > Controller > select Disable Steam Input)

Run the game and see if the game displays "Nintendo Switch controller attached".
Is it fine over Bluetooth? Is it activating things uncontrollably when connected by USB?

If it is Xinput device, most of the recent games does not need Steam Input.

If you messed up in game controller setting, some games like Unreal Engine one has controller setting in saved data folder. You can back up to other location and remove the file and restart game to reset settings.

Usually the file name is \WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini
