Steam Controller 2 won't input in games!

[u/Upset_Sky_70]

Hello!

Recently I went to use my steam controller on a game in my steam library (mgs2 to be exact), and my controller works fine on the desktop, I can use it's trackpads as a mouse and click on things; however, when I load into a game, the controller just does not work. Now this isn't the only game this is the issue on, it's every game in my library, including mgs4 and mgspw, payday 2, warframe and titanfall. This issue isn't exclusive to the steam controller either, I tried plugging in a nintendo controller and it didn't work as well as plugging the steam controller itself. Please help, I wanna play mgs2 again! :(

are you using a dongle if so try just plugging the controller directly into the pc. also make sure controller is up to date and check setting some games you have to manually change input your using in settings for it to register it as a controller inputs

I'm using the official charging/Bluetooth connector that comes with the steam controller, but plugging it in to a USB slot doesn't work either

id definitely check and see if for some reason the games your playing you have to manually change input manually to controller payday 2 im pretty sure requires it but warframe i think is supposed to just change. also make sure its up to date i just got a update on my controller today
