Xbox one controller spawns multiple xbox 360 controller profiles, infinite button presses in stardew valley :(

[Lasyin]

So I have the Xbox one controller driver for mac: https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases latest version (0.16.5) and steam recognizes I have an xb1 controller. However, under the xbox one configuration there are around 10 xbox 360 controller configurations.

I've tried deregistering each configuration but the problem doesn't go away.

The controller works ok in the menu but when I play stardew valley and press a button on the controller, the button repeats infinitely.

I've tried deleting ~/library/application support/steam and that does get rid of the 'phantom controllers' however they re-appear soon after.

When I disable the Xbox one configuration support the controllers disappear but then they won't work in game, when I reenable the support, the phantom controllers reappear.

I'm thinking that when I press a button on the controller, all the phantom controllers press the same button? I'm not sure exactly what's going on...

I've also tried reinstalling the xbox one controller driver, didn't work.

Thanks for your time!

I can confirm that issue happened to me too.

Actually since December there were many people reporting this:

- http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/1489992713702172857/

- http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/1489992713699598204/

The only question is whether any Steam client beta releases fixed this already.

If they did, a pinned thread is needed.

Happed to me as well and I had to uncheck xbox support in controller preferences and it seemed to quiet down but agree its a bug and controller will not work in games that dont support controllers

Yeah unchecking xbox support will get rid of notifications and that ghost controllers, but some games require xbox controller support like stardew valley.

If you leave it checked, a button press will spam infinite times.
If you uncheck it, the controller does not work at all.

Just downloaded the beta (there is only one current beta available) and it did not work.

Still same issues, multiple phantom 'xbox 360 controllers' and infinite button presses in game (specifically, stardew valley in my case).

One workaround:

- unchecked the xbox controller support

- but enable xbox controller per game (look at controller options under a game, there is a force on settings, should allow you to setup gamepad without enabled xbox controller globally, and no 360 controller spawn)

Tried this, does not work. Still get infinite button presses in stardew valley. When I go to configuration options and click 'choose controller' the infinite 360 controllers are listed there even though i've unchecked xbox support. :(

Same here, nothing work, just infinite spawn :/

We're looking into this now. Thanks for the report!

I was wondering if it's not the problem with 360controller drivers or Mac OS, because when I completely uninstall steam client with all games and driver for Xbox controller using uninstaller and I tried to play standalone game which supports controllers on Mac, using my Xbox one S controller, it's going crazy same as like in steam, so please check it also, because maybe it's not the steam client issue

[austinp_valve]

Can you retest w/ the latest Beta?

[bhagarty]

Just wanted to chime in that I'm having this issue as well. Only differences are that I'm using a wired xbox 360 controller rather than xb1. And not sure if it's relevant, but I've been trying to play Rocket League

[bhagarty]

Also, I just tried with the beta client and the issue appears to be resolved! Thank you!

[illadelph12]

same problem, what do you mean by beta client? bhagarty how did you get this to work?

[illadelph12]

i was prompted to do an update, and it's working. Whoever at Steam fixed this, I love you. doin the lord's work fam

Latest build update fixed phantom controller popups for me
