Xbox controller even more broken now

kyatos_binarini · March 12

With U41, a fresh batch of controller (Xbox Elite Series 2) bugs for mac players arrived:

Previously bugged mappings:

LB -> DPad down
RB -> DPad left
LStick -> LB
RStick -> RB
Menu -> LStick
Select -> as intended
Other buttons didn't work at all (but still could be mapped by Steam Input)

Currently bugged mappings:

A -> Select
B -> A
Y -> X
DPad up -> Y
DPad left -> LB
DPad right -> RB
RB -> LB
LT, RT -> as intended
X, DPad down, Select, Menu, LB - doesn't work

Previously, it was still possible to work around Xbox controller issues using Steam Input (it was far from perfect but still playable), but now the game ignores it. After U41 this game is impossible to play on mac with controller (at least xbox).

If you are using any 3rd party controller support applications, please try disabling them and see if that helps with the button mapping issues.

I don’t have any 3rd party controller applications, only native preinstalled driver.

Disabling steam input doesn’t change anything (as I mentioned before, the game now just ignores it).

Other games don’t have such problems.

Steam and other gamepad checkers (like https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad) also show correct mappings.

I'm having the exact same problem. New Xbox Elite v2 controller on M2 Mac running ESO through Steam. The controller mapping is completely fubar and appears to match what @kyatos_binarini is seeing.

Game version: eso.live.10.0.5.2891024 2024/05/29 22:37:18 (4000.win.2891024.live.2891024)

it looks like mac version of the game doesn’t support modern controllers. i tried my friend’s xbox controller (old one, non elite) and it worked perfectly.
