Steam Update Broke PS5 and PS4 Controllers i games working

[wuaieyo]

hi today i started steam and suddenly i had to relogin strangly, then wanted to continue the game and there was new messege saying:

"your dualsense controller isnt supported by this game, steam input will translate the device so you will be able to play the game"

but ps5 or ps4 controllers doesnt work anymore in games . i tryed all kind of options in steam controller settings but nothing works.
well the controllers do work in menues and when setting up layouts and reconfigure butons but NOT in games anymore. untill today ps5 and ps4 controllers worked perfectly before today so steam did something. now what can i do to fix it?

i use kubuntu 23.10 and steam flatpack if it helps...

1ok after installing sdteam through terminal now the controller works again. so it was something with flatpack steam that broke controllers...

I'm on Windows, and same problem, I just installed the Steam Beta update, and the problem did not go away. How could they break something this big?

Did not work for me. Tried both enabling and disabling steam input, made no difference.. My controller works fine if I use the DSX app to make it detect as an xbox controller on the desktop. But I can't use Gyro, and I need Gyro.

Hello there.
I had some trouble too, but with Dualsense/SteamController gyro... It's non-center while DRIVING (using Gyro as left stick) - when the gamepad is straight, the car turns. And gyro center chanhing whole time. I can't drive cars anymore with gyro.
Until recently, everything worked perfectly in both Steam and GloSC...
Maybe someone found a solution?

i used to play F1 23 with PS5 controller, full support. now with this steam's update the ps5 controller's support are gone and vibration doesn't work, and analogs calibration are a mess. why would valve do something like this, it's a pure mess.

Yeah, thanks to the latest update even natively supported games are broken. Same for F1 22 as well. I had to switch to mouse n keyboard for a few single player games that I was playing on a controller, had to relearn all the controls, and I just prefer using a controller in general for some types of games. Glad to hear the issue is universal in that case lol. But that means Valve should fix this ASAP.

Any news regarding this issue? I've been googling for the past week about games not showing the correct button prompts anymore for my Ps5 controller. I know for a fact the games I played natively supported the controller with the icons. (I played the games through steam at the time.) I feel like this issue is new since Steam has changed the UI, back before "general controller settings" was still existing. Now the controller setting section is a big confusion. There is no real control for me as a user. What gives?

EDIT-Addendum: Today, any game that I want to play with controller, that are known to offer native support, are marked as "Mostly Playable With Your Controller - This game is playable, but may show incorrect glyphs or require keyboard at some points.". Meaning that the controller only has partial support, even though it does have full support. Is this a phase where this feature was half done when it was shipped? As in we will be getting a fully functional system somewhere in the next 5 years?

I play Tekken 7 and earlier today it claimed to have no PS4 pad support. I had to enter steam://forceinputappid/389730 on my browser to make it work.

Now, it suddenly supports PS4, I can't hold down any buttons in-game (they register as taps), and the above solution no longer works.

Yeah, Zombie Army Trilogy which was working previously isn't working for me anymore. Why screw up something that was working?

[Messier]

Two issues I'm still having:
Risk of Rain used to correctly show the PS4/PS5 buttons glyphs; now it still plays but shows the XBox glyphs.
Rocket League simply cannot be played 2-player splitscreen anymore. Just straight up doesn't work.

I've been going through the same issue with ds4 and nacon daija fightstick in PS4 mode to use the touchpad but it doesn't work anymore in street fighter 6 and guilty gear strive which it did before
