    I must be blind. I can not see it

    I see
    View [Xbox controller] left arrow
    Menu [Xbox controller] right arrow
    wheres the 3rd one that sits between those on the controller?
    In the picture below its the steam button



    normally I can select [Listen] then press the button on the controller and it selects it. But if I do that the xbox bar pops up

    cheers folks

    Games aren't supposed to listen to that one.

    Ta, Are you sure?

    eg For both my games now on steam I have gotten the reply back from Steam support

    "- When opening the Steam Overlay, by pressing the home button on the controller, the game does not pause and continues to function while navigating the Steam Overlay menu."

    So I've gotta find out with the new input manager when the user presses the home button so I can pause the game.
    Surely 100s of people here have dealt with this issue
     
  4. What stops you to manually select the proper button? Or you can but it doesn't work?

    hmmm I don't see that
    I'm using input system 1.1.1

    I've worked around it by following whats in this thread
    https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/d9mn2l/rewired_x_unity_x_steam_detect_controller_central/
    instead of testing for a button press, test to see if the overlay is activated

    Oddly I tested another big budget professional game similar to mine, that saiz it has 'full controller support'
    Grim Dawn
    and when I trigger the steam overlay, it doesn't pause. So if the big boys aint doing I guess pausing just ain't that important.

    Well mine now pauses, FWIW.

    Cheers anyways All.
