Bug Steam Deck - New Input System bugs

- The start button / select buttons on the joysticks are inverted on Steam Deck (even when using an Xbox controller with Bluetooth connected to the Steam Deck)

- When using a Bluetooth Xbox controller connected to the Steam Deck, the right analog keeps resetting back to 0,0 (so it's incredible slow to aim if you are using the right stick)

 

BUMP

BUMP BUMP BUMP!

The swapped "View/Menu" XBox buttons are a severe bug I must say that makes it very problematic to easily release a game (very much an issue for us right now)... ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶e̶t̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶r̶u̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶D̶e̶c̶k̶ ̶(̶u̶n̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶e̶d̶i̶c̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶s̶u̶s̶t̶a̶i̶n̶a̶b̶l̶e̶/̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶h̶e̶a̶d̶)̶.̶ ̶A̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶r̶e̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶c̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶V̶a̶l̶v̶e̶ ̶"̶f̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶d̶e̶c̶k̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶"̶ ̶(̶/̶f̶e̶a̶t̶u̶r̶i̶n̶g̶)̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶S̶e̶l̶e̶c̶t̶/̶S̶t̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶(̶V̶i̶e̶w̶/̶M̶e̶n̶u̶)̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶t̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶s̶w̶a̶p̶p̶e̶d̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶r̶i̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶t̶o̶r̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶f̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶d̶e̶c̶k̶-̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶n̶d̶h̶e̶l̶d̶s̶.̶

Is there some way how to deal with it on a "PlayerInput" level directly? I didn't find any and definitely don't want to break controls for XBox controller because of a unity integration bug.

--- fun sidenote: the steam deck behaves like an XBox controller when you don't run the game directly on the deck, but stream it through "remote play" from a PC. Then it does have the "View" button on the left as it should, while when running on deck it has it swapped.

-------------------

// a slight update that might come in handy to some people: I somewhat dealt with the issue in my case after managing to make "steam deck detection" work -> if you have new SteamWorks.Net unity integration [ https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/releases ], there's a "SteamUtils.IsSteamRunningOnSteamDeck();" you can use for that. Still, it's definitely a dirty fix, but at least I can move to other things until it is officialy at some point :/

 

Have you logged this as a bug, I haven't?

 

I have issues with the right stick on the steam deck - as soon as I touch it the framerate bins and I get spikes of 100s of ms. Anyone here experienced that? I am on the 2022 LTS
