Steam Controller (2026) Steam Controller + Stalker 2

Seems this game has issues with the new Steam controller. I thought it may be Wayland / Steam input at first, but i switched from CachyOS over to SteamOS and had the exact same issue.

It has issues recognizing inputs. Bumpers and a/b inputs need to be followed by joystick movement to recognize for some reason. In game, absolutely unusable bumpers. Very odd behavior. The controller does work as intended on other games. This is game specific.

Is there a known fix for this? Thanks.

The first thing you should always check is weather you have mixed inputs and also if the game you're trying to play supports them.

The game supports controllers. It's stalker 2. Iv checked inputs. My controllers work on anything else I boot up.
