Windows Trouble with controller support on pc since update.

[flames17]

Hi their. Big fans of the game.
I've been having some issues, specifically after we installed the newest update for pc.
1.6.14
I run a steam deck with windows 11. I was originally was running windows 10. Updated it specifically for this issue. Made sure all drivers are good and made sure everything is up to date to eliminate everything on my end. It runs as a normal pc. Just on a steam deck, same steam pc program and everything.

The controllers worked before the update, no we get it where it thinks the steam deck and/or the keyboard and mouse are player 1. Not sure what to do.
I've tried switching steam input. On off, default to game.
Doesn't work.

Not sure what to do, this if for my girlfriend, she loves the game, just need to know how to fix it.

Hey! Sorry to hear you're having issues. Can you clarify a few things so the dev team can check if there's something that we must fix on our end?

1. What controllers are you using?
2. Typically the keyboard/mouse are used for player 1; what behavior are you expecting from the game?
3. What version were you playing before 1.6.14?
4. What exactly isn't working with the controllers? Are they not detected at all? Are they mapped to the wrong player? Etc.

Thanks, and I hope we can help this get resolved ASAP.

Hi, thanks for the reply
1.
Prior to the updates I was just using an xbox one controller (which I've tried), the manba controller worked too
Worked flawlessly prior to update

I've tried/ used all the controllers I have
- xbox one controller
- nintendo switch pro controller
- manba pro controller ( aftermarket controller that uses USB dongle)
- ps5 controller

2. The behavior I expect from the game is same as before these updates, along as steam would recognize the controller BEFORE the game was launched, the game would function normally using the controller ( as player 1) no problem.


3. Last version played I beleive was 1.6.8.
After coming back to the game about a month later and downloading the subsequent updates (up to 1.6.14), we have encountered the issue with the controller support.



4. They all do different things
Switch controller only let's you move with the joystick/cursor when the home button is held, xbox controller acts as player 2 and doesn't let you join the game as it doesnt have any cabin on the farm( no available cabins), Manba controller does same as xbox controller ( as it's pretty much an xbox elite controller, they are both being viewed as second player)
-ps5 controller doesn't do anything

Thanks

1. Interesting. We've tested:
- Xbox 360 Controller
- DualSense Edge
- PowerA Switch Pro Controller

But haven't been able to observe the issues described. We'll see if we can grab more controllers for testing.

2. You may be able to use Steam Input and reorder the controllers in the Steam overlay. The order in which controllers are detected is handled by Windows; we don't really have control over that in-game.

3. In that case, would you mind heading to your Steam library -> Right-click on "Stardew Valley" -> Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation Drop-down -> "legacy_1.6.8" and see if the issues are resolved on that version? You won't be able to load any 1.6.14 saves on that version, but it'll only be temporary. If you could make a new farm to test it out, that information would be valuable to us on the dev team.

You can then go back to the newer version whenever you'd like by selecting "None" on the beta participation drop-down.

Thanks!

Hi their,

Sorry busy week, just got around to messing with it some more.

I tried overlay with steam input and messing with the setting, did not change anything.

I went ahead and did what you said about changing it to legacy 1.6.8 and it instantly works, no problems.


Not sure where I should go with it next. Thanks
