Hey there I got an issue I was hoping there might be a fix for?

I saw someone has had a similar issue before but their fix didn’t seem to work for me. the program is reading the controller completely fine outside the game but the moment I launch or click back into the game it stops reading my controller. BUT it’ll continue to work fine while using keyboard inputs.

I have it in steam as a nonsteam game and also running as admin.

It seems like it’s an issue with steam or maybe games run via steam? I’m not sure but I can’t figure out why it suddenly stops working when a game opens.

Yeah some people recently reported the same thing with the plugin through steam input but it was always a bit janky..

If your controller is an xinput or dinput try not launching through steam.

If it's a nintendo controller try using a program such as betterjoy instead of steam input.

If you absolutely need to launch it through steam check if both the game and the plugin have steam input enabled. If they both have try disabling it in the game if they dont try enabling it in both
