    Hello there,

    Up until a couple of weeks ago connecting my contoller and playtesting inside the editor worked as expected.
    But now the edtior doesn't recognize the controller like it used to before (with a message in the console) and it of course isn't working.

    I should note that it works when I build the game, and on any other platform. It isn't working only inside the edtior.
    *Updating to 2020.2 didn't solve it either.

    And ideas ..?

    Sorry I should have been more clear.
    Usually when plugging in the contorller I get a message saying "controller connected" or something similar.
    Now, I don't. (Even tho I get the notification from steam and my pc that I connected it.)

    Hey, did you ever find a fix for this? Really sorry for asking 3 years later but I can't find the answer anywhere.

    Hmmm sorry, but it fixed itself at some random point in time.
    I did use a software that translates the controller input to keyboard, just a workaround sadly
