(Potentially) SOLVED: I disabled both Steam Overlay and controller Steam Input, and now it somehow works. Strangely, I believe they were both disabled to begin with and I tried enabling one at a time, then both, and nothing worked. I wanted to test individual settings again so I turned both off and suddenly it recognizes my controller (DualShock 4)
I haven't played 1.6 but I'm sure I played 1.5 with this setup a while back and the controller was working. Now my Mac recognizes the controller (and I can use in Steam's big picture mode) but the game doesn't.
What I've tried:
- Started the game through Big Picture mode using my controller, and tried without Big Picture mode
- Uninstalled SMAPI and any mods
- Restarted my Mac
- Enabled/Disabled Steam Input in controller settings
Anyone have any experience getting it to work?
NOTE: Just tried with DualSense/PS5 controller and having the same issue. The game doesn't seem to recognize the controller
I don’t have a Mac but I do run into the same issue with my Steam Deck while it’s docked. I have a Xbox controller and a controller from Logitech.
While the game is running, are you able to open up Steam’s controller settings? You might need to enable developer mode.
In the controller settings are you able to see something in the upper center-right about changing controller order?
In there just simply mess around with the controller order, might have to try various combos of controller order. That usually helps get the game to see the controller.
Is this through Steam overlay or is it a different setting? I've never enabled developer mode but I'll play around with it.
