    Hi was having this exact issue, and I now know the fix. 

    Hopefully this fixes it for you too.  Go to Steam Settings > Controller > Scroll down to Desktop Layout and hit edit, and disable Steam Input. That it, Let me know if this works for you!

Experienced the same thing at pretty much the exact same time after my computer updated to Windows 11 24H2. I was able to fix it on my end. Here's what I tried: 

X - Updating Xbox controller firmware: updated but didn't fix issue

X - Checked game file integrity: no errors 

X - Checked steam updates: none available

X - Changed controller settings by going to the games properties section in steam (click manage > properties > controller). Switched "Override for dragon age veilguard" from "use default settings" to "enable steam input": error occurred instantly after opening dragon age

✓ - Did the step above, but switched it to "disable steam input": fixed

I hope this helps solve your issue too!

    I don't have an cbox controller to try, but its happening with my ps4 snd nintendo contoller so i don't think it's the hardware.

    All my steam settings we're already set to the disable overlay, but I'll try the the override, mine is set to default right now

      Rosie_the_Rogue Can you go into the game and reset all the settings to the default settings and then try again? Sometimes, this helps when launching the game; the system will recognize the hardware if it isn't a normal Xbox controller.

        I dont know why but k was good for a few days and now its doing it again. Looking at my computer updates i have a hunch its related to updates as i saw microsoft had an update on the 15th and one today on the 19th, when things started going wonky again. Intried unistalling the updates and it did nothing, i reinstalled them and nothing. I have done every overlay option in steam as well in between and tried multiple controllera of different systems. Unsure how the microsoft updates could be reaking so much havoc.
