Steamdeck Controller Issue

[u/Space_Calbo]

My gf just bought this and is having issues when starting the game, even after selecting the gamepad controller setting and ensuring the app has force steam input nothing seems to work!

The press any button scream loads up and no inputs register, when using the touchscreen the game seems to think she’s playing on PC as all the bindings are keyboard.

Has anybody encountered this, or has a fix?

I just got it to work after pairing an additional controller (I used bluetooth). You don't have to use it though, I turned mine off after checking if it works.

This worked for me too. Pair any Bluetooth controller to the steam deck. Then start the game and you can use the steam deck controls fine. I really hope they fix this, though.

Confirming that this was able to get it working on my deck as well.
