I can't use controller when opening celeste with everest

[dry elk]

I've reinstalled everest after a while and it's not working with my controller. When I open it, it shows that it's connected to a controller as it shows the "A" button to continue, but pressing A does nothing. <@&673391557939953684>

what if you press B?

[dry elk]

i haven't tried that yet

im trying it rn

[dry elk]

Pressing B does nothing

To continue, I have to press C on my keyboard, and once I'm in the main menu, pressing anything on the controller doesn't do anything

I got a new keyboard today, could this be a problem?

[chilly bay]

do you have steam controller support on? if so, you might want to try turning it off

[dry elk]

yes, i have it on

ill try turning it off

[dry elk]

sorry, but how do i turn this off?

[chilly bay]

steam (upper left) > settings > controller

[dry elk]

thanks a lot

[chilly bay]

(for context, newer everest versions will always use FNA rather than XNA, which has much better controller support by itself, at the cost of not playing well with steam's controller support)

[dry elk]

ok, i'm giving it a try thanks for helping

[dry elk]

i'm not sure if i've done this correctly as it's still not working. am i in the right place?

i'm using an xbox elite series 2 controller btw

[chilly bay]

yeah that should be correct

[dry elk]

it still doesn't work with controller when i open my game :/

[dry elk]

when i open the game without everest, controller works

@dry elk please try downloading this file and putting it in the same directory as log.txt, etc. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt

(quit Celeste first)

[dry elk]

Thanks a lot, I’ll do this when I’m back home :)

[dry elk]

just checking, are you talking about the main celeste directory which you get when choosing "browse local files" on steam?

[dry elk]

i just did this and THANK YOU SO MUCH my controller finally works with everest :)

[stoic fog]

woooo nice

I am having a similar issue. Regular Celeste seems to work just fine, but Everest is not working with my controller. This text file is a fix? Thx

Looks like I have the text file already but I still have the issue

[umbral rover]

this is an updated version of the file. although you should first try disabling steam input

[lean sparrow]

Ok, yeah that worked a treat. Thanks @umbral rover

just wanted to chime in something weird, my elite series 2 wasnt being picked up by everest (though it was working with default celeste) and i tried replacing the text file and i checked if steam input was off which it already was, turns out turning steam input ON actually fixed it which i found to be odd. Just putting that out there since this is the first thread that showed up while i was trying to fix it

[dry elk]

i just reinstalled steam and was having this problem again, and this fix worked

i think this might only be affecting the elite series 2 as i havent seen many people complain about this
