(Potentially) SOLVED: I disabled both Steam Overlay and controller Steam Input, and now it somehow works. Strangely, I believe they were both disabled to begin with and I tried enabling one at a time, then both, and nothing worked. I wanted to test individual settings again so I turned both off and suddenly it recognizes my controller (DualShock 4)

I haven’t played 1.6 but I’m sure I played 1.5 with this setup a while back and the controller was working. Now my Mac recognizes the controller (and I can use in Steam’s big picture mode) but the game doesn’t.

What I’ve tried:

• Started the game through Big Picture mode using my controller, and tried without Big Picture mode
• Uninstalled SMAPI and any mods
• Restarted my Mac
• Enabled/Disabled Steam Input in controller settings

Anyone have any experience getting it to work?

NOTE: Just tried with DualSense/PS5 controller and having the same issue. The game doesn’t seem to recognize the controller
