Steam controller issue after steam update- any suggestions?

[Valuable Hunting Knife]

Hi All

I think this is a Steam issue as I'm having the same problem with The Forest, but it's stopping me from playing TLD too.  After the last Steam update, when I go into games that use a pc controller, the controller isn't working and the mouse icon is really glitchy and won't move past a tiny area of the screen.  Keyboard buttons also not working, so I can't progress from main menus.  I've found a way to select my controller as a default input, but this has made no difference.  tried the usual restarts, no joy.  Mouse only input games are running fine, so it's not my hardware.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?  I can't find any news on Steam forums, apart from some similar but different issues with things like VR and streaming controls after the update.

 

thanks, VHK

aha, think I have found the issue.  disabling steam input on each games' controller settings seems to have resolved it, if anyone else has similar issues.
