Controller no longer works in the main menu

It's as if the controller is disabled on start up. Can't move the cursor using any joystick, can't use buttons to click. Works fine ingame and in the shop though.

Ok so discovered that controls work again if you enter sandbox and back leave. Works as it did before, but never when first starting the game.

This may be an operation set activation bug. Just set a key you rarely use in steaminput to change the operation set "Menu Control" and activate it when entering the main menu for the first time.

I was having a hard time guessing but figured out what you meant. It seems the bug is that the game starts SteamInput in In-Game Controls mode. The temporary fix is just to make a new action in your In-Game Controls scheme to change to Menu Controls.


I don't have any spare buttons left so I just made a button chord using the start and select buttons to change the control mode. For anyone else attempting this, the specific action is in the Action Sets category. Thanks for the post, numbers fella.

Edit: Nevermind. After a half hour of trying to make it work, discovered mode shifts can't be button chords. Doing the above will change your scheme to Menu Controls in a game if you press the start button. Best to just use the mouse for now.

You can set it as a key combination, such as the combination I set by pressing the left joystick and fully pressing the right trigger, to prevent accidental touches in the game.

Expect this to be fixed next patch.
