Steam Controller immediately disconnects on selecting controller (beta) option

The post above me is correct. Right click PoE in the steam libarary -> properties -> controller -> Disable Steam Input.

Thank you!


Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller. Steam. I had a steam controller profile set up for PoE (janky btw). I tried disabling it, worried that might be a conflict.

I'm having the same issue. Try to choose controller, and it immediately says "disconnected" and switches back to KB + M

I installed POE via Steam just to try it, and still no dice. I've tried in big picture mode, I've tried with 'disable steam input', i've tried basically every different configuration.

Windows 10, Steam Controller.
Is the fact that the beta supports Xinput only intended? Hopefully not, and sorry if this has already been answered.
For the people with a DualShock 4 controller: I got it working with DS4Windows

Im using nintendo switch pro with x360ce, able to connect controller
This fixed it for me.

1- Right click POE on steam library
2- Properties..
3- CONTROLLER
4- Disable Steam Input
I added POE as a non steam game and the steam controller just worked.

EDIT: Yes I know PoE is on steam but patching is annoying from there so I use the stand alone client.

Added POE stand alone to steam as non-steam game, worked for me when launching game from steam, im using nintendo switch pro controller.
just download and install ds4windows, ps4 gamepad working great like console version, nice update thanks to developer
Changing the steam global controller setting to xbox/generic and setting the PoE controller layout to gamepad resolved this issue for me.
