I'm playing with a controller, and the game keeps switching to keyboard and mouse controls, making me unable to perform actions on my controller that require two buttons at the same time.
I always have to use shift+tab to go into the steam overlay, leave it, and then it switches to controller again on my next controller input. It's really REALLY annoying.
Issue fixed for me with yesterdays steam update
Only thing that worked for me in the end was uninstalling the Windows 24H-something update. After doing that everything worked like a charm, reinstalling it - everything went bad again.
That update caused quite some problems. So as long as that update isn't properly fixed, not installing it is the way to go for me. (I do install the security updates!)
Same issue here. Thought it was when I read something but noticed it was random. Tried the bot fix recommendation of changing to windowed mode and didn’t fix.
I have steam overlay off, nvidia overlay off, Xbox game bar off in windows 11. I have controller power management turned off. I have tried playing with keyboard and mouse turned off. I’ve turned off steam controller support. I’ve checked all drivers and windows updates and everything is up to date. Problem only happens in this game. No other games from steam have issues.
Only temp fix I’ve found is hitting windows button on keyboard and clicking back into game using mouse.
When is this going to be permanently fixed?
I have this same issue with my 8bitdo Ultimate controller which I believe Steam detects as a xinput device. I've tried everything I can think of - deleting and reinstalling drivers. Detaching every other device. I found some success by switching from full screen to borderless fullscreen because it seemed like that was maybe causing issues with my dual monitor setup (I'm not sure why it was on fullscreen to start with), and that seemed to help for maybe an hour but the problems started back up again and are back to happening every couple of minutes.
I was not having these issues prior to patch 1, when the game first launched I didn't have any controller issues. And this is the only Steam game that has this issue.
It started happening to me just now. Have been busy with it for hours now. My controller (Nintendo Pro) won't even connect normally anymore (green and blue light on). Have disconnected and reconnected countless times. Even switched off my mouse and disconnected my keyboard, restarted my computer, but nothing is working. I've tried every possible setting in Steam, because a lot of websites/forums tell to disable Steam Input, but then nothing works or even connects. This is absolutely beyond frustrating. Glad I got to play my first playthrough without all this happening but this makes me quite mad when it is constantly happening. I've stopped playing my current playthrough until it is fixed.
Update: ofcourse I couldn't let it rest and found a workaround/sort of fix? But only for the Nintendo Pro controller.
I simply don't connect the controller until I'm in the starting menu of the game. After intro/start-up scene and 'click random button' screen, you get the menu screen. At that point I connect, tried several times to be sure and it works. Both lights on the controller are on (blue circle and green square (bottom side)) and all is fully functional, no random (and very annoying) keyboard keybinds in the interface.
Update 2: well.. it was fun while it lasted. I'm back where I started. Keyboard binds keep popping up.
Oh thank God. I thought it was just me! Does anybody know when they're going to fix that?
Same here. Type of controller makes no difference. I use xbox and pa5 dual sense controllers, same issue for both.
Disconnect all peripherals and leave only controller paired via bluetooth. Still reverts to mouse and keyboard ui inputs.
This only happens with this game. I just played Wayfinders on steam fine.
And it happens even if you unplug tour keyboard and mouse.
this is singlehandedly souring the gameplay experience for me.
Same issue with XBOX Elite 2 Controller. At some point it will just switch and act like I moved the mouse, so it switches to K + M but is stuck that way even when using the controller.
This happens when they are powered off and unplugged. When it occurs, I cannot hit select button, but can hit pause, then select works. Cannot engage ultimate or stagger abilities using controller. Saving the game fixes it temporarily, but within a few minutes it recurs and stays that way. Rebooted, installed new NVIDIA drivers. Please add manual keyboard+mouse or controller switch in settings.
Same issue going into the menu will also fix it but only for a short time. Also unplugging or turning off controller works for a short time. I have the issue on 2 different controllers.
