controller stopped working as soon as recent patch dropped among some other issues

[justmeaxe]

controller fully stopped working after recent update, all sort of troubleshooter attempts did not work


additional feedback:

controller in this game feels great, however there are some issues. The game sometimes has a hard time to register my controller and needs numerous restart attempts before working properly even when the game says its connected

The in-game sensitivity slider does not work for the controller, no matter how high or low it remains the same, at least the steam overlay works but would be great if I could also adjust the in-game zoom multiplier and have it work which it does not at the moment at least in my case

my controller isnt working either ive got a pc controller and use steam input to play it has worked until the newest patch now no matter what i do it wont work

Due to a medical condition I cannot play on mouse and keyboard or severe tremors happen. Like this patch destroyed the controller input. I tried reverting it to steamdecks but, that didn't work either. It worked for a bit but, the hotfix messed it up again. Hopefully they fix this.

This has been a problem for months, I made a post about it and regulary bump it with each hero release patch to remind them. I am still able to play with a controller and here is how:

TEMPORARY SOLUTION:

This has worked for about 5 months now as this bug has been around for a long time but never addressed, if you connect the controller while the game is already running the controller will finally respond in the title screen and after. Remembering to do this every single time is tedious but it's the only way to use a controller on this game.

I repeat, connect your controller after launching the game on the title screen, never before.

Strange it works on every controller I have, DualSense, 8bitdo, Switch Pro and even standard Xinput without gyro. Just tested it now on Utimate 2 Wireless that Steam now officially supports after firmware updating it with 8bitdos firmware. Using Dinput mode on the 2.4ghz dongle so I can use gyro. If you connect a controller before the game launches no buttons works except holding Start which gets you in the hub world but no other buttons work. Connecting it after launching the game when the title screen appears all the controls work. I use Steam Input and modified Valve official layout.

I am currently running around NYC testing because these posts got me worried that a Apollo hotfix broke my solution, but it's still working I am in game right now with controller.

Also I'm running Steam Beta Client but that probably doesn't make a difference

I have an Azeron Cyborg 2 and can confirm that (being on the Steam Beta Client, if that matters, and) plugging the thing in at the title screen worked for me. Thank you!
