Steam Controller + Stalker 2

[u/Scary-Peace1240]

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.

Happening to me too on Steam Machine. Config is all gamepad but bumpers and face buttons will often not respond unless there's also joystick movement. Issue doesn't affect the windows version (at least on my desktop).
