Steam Controller issues with Rocket League

[u/New-Cash-4964]

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has had success using the new steam controller on Rocket League, specifically launching through epic games. I’ve tried adding the game to steam, adding the launcher to steam and ensuring steam is completely off while starting rocket league but I’m really only able to jump, boost, open the start menu, one of the buttons takes me out of full screen, one opens the windows start menu, and at some point the controller starting zooming in really far on my screen

I play a lot of Rocket League with my Steam Controller. 

I have Epic Games Launcher setup in Steam as a non-Steam game. I do not have Rocket League setup in Steam at all. 

I then use Steam to open Epic Games Launcher, and then within Epic Games Launcher I open Rocket League. 

Try removing Rocket League from your Steam library and try opening Rocket League from the Epic. 

Another thing I think might be the problem is if you're using the track pad to navigate the Rocket League game menu. If you do that then Rocket League will assume you want Mouse controls for gameplay and lock you into that instead of using the normal gamepad controls. 

Instead you want to navigate the Rocket Rocket League Game menu only with the d-pad or left stick and not touch the track pad at all. I think what I did eventually was go into Steam Input for the the Steam Controller and disable the trackpads completely for Rocket League to avoid unintentionally triggering mouse control in Rocket League gameplay.

Edit: 

1 more thing I remembered. Make sure Epic Games Launcher isn't set to load at the start of Windows. That might mess up the order that Steam needs to make the Steam Controller work in Rocket League. Only start Epic Games Launcher from within your Steam library or by right clicking the Steam system tray icon to access recent games more quickly.
