'Try going into your steam controller settings for stardew valley and selecting 'Enable Steam Input'. A computer/ windows update broke my controller use (it works everywhere else but Stardew). I'm copying and pasting an answer Concerned Ape posted elsewhere, plus adding a little more (because I had this problem as well).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Įdit: Forgot to mention I am running Windows 10 fully updated on an ASUS G751JM ROG laptop. I am at a loss as to how to fix this and there are several posts on Steam and on this forum here of others reporting the same issue without any feedback on how to fix it. I have completely deleted all Stardew Valley files from my laptop (copying my save files to another location) and completely downloaded fresh from Steam after the most recent update. I have checked to ensure my bluetooth is only connected to a single controller so there is no influence from other devices. I have used DS4Windows emulator and it does not fix the issue. I have checked and ensured the controllers are being seen as Controller 1.

Steam recognizes the controllers and I can use them in other Steam games. The XBOX controller was used on another computer and was able to play Stardew Valley from the other computer. I have individually attempted to used both a PS4 and an XBOX 360 controller (not at the same time) with and without cables and they do not work in Stardew Valley.
