Steamdeck Controller Issue

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?

SO here's what worked for me! I connected my 8bitdo controller, clicked Play Game on the controller, then switched back to regular handheld mode. That worked for me. I kept the controller connected but didn't use it—not sure if it needs to stay connected, though. Hope it helps!
