I'm working with the Dec 24, 10PM update of Stardew Valley, Big Sur 11.1, and latest steam.
@EiraEan Will you please describe how you got controller to work? I have a Playstation DS4 that worked well for me until I updated to Big Sur, and now it won't work for me (bluetooth or wireless) in Stardew Valley purchased via Steam. The Playstation DS4 does work via bluetooth in Cross Code in Steam and am also able to run other games outside of steam.
The behavior I have also observed is described in further detail in these Steam posts:
- Game controller support doesn't work in MacOS Big Sur
- Gamepad driver installer failed Mac OS 11 Beta
For now, I've started trying to learn keyboard and mouse for this game, which appear to be working fine.
