Steam: Controller not working anymore in Forza Horizon 4 (lemmy.ml)

So I've been playing Forza Horizon 4 for a while without any issues using a XBox One Controller via Bluetooth. First i used Proton experimental and later Proton GE. Absolutely no problem.

Now however, the controller is not being recognized in game anymore (the on screen buttons show keyboard keys, not gamepad buttons) and I can't use any of the buttons (except the screenshot one). In the Steam menu, the controller test settings, big picture mode etc. it works fine and its recognized normally.

I didn't make any changes (before it happened, now of course it tried a bunch of stuff) but I did upgrade the system normally.

Any ideas what might have caused this issue?

Does it work in other games?

I only have this one game that I need a controller for

Try toggling the Steam input API feature in the steam settings for that specific game.

There's a similar issue with The Talos Principle where controllers stopped working...

Any fix?

I read somewhere that using older community layouts works, didn't work for me on Talos Principle but worth a try maybe?

So... no idea what happened but it works again.

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread at some point here are my current settings:

  • The compatibility layer is proton-ge-custom (from AUR)
  • Steam Input Translation in the Forza Horizon 4 Controller Settings is enabled using the "Official Layout for Forza Horizon 4 - Gamepad"
  • Regular mode (not big picture mode)
  • Steam Overlay is enabled

I still have the issue that on some screens it shows the keyboard buttons and not the controller buttons but since the controller works anyway I don't really care (it's just the optics).

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! :)

Just a general tip. Update the firmware on your controller if you haven't before.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
