Steam Controller Issues (still)....

[Xenro66]

Ok, rewriting the entire thread, because things changed in the space of like 10 minutes.

So, my Steam Controller has had a history of not working with KSP, but earlier on, I theorised that it might be the fact that the Steam Overlay wasn't working at all. I know that Fraps messes with the Steam Overlay in some games, so I closed that, restarted KSP and BOOM, the controller is recognised! However... It's not switching between the different modes, it's just stuck in menu mode the whole time. Does anyone have this issue?

Yes I have this issue, Squad are working on it.

Is this with 1.2 or 1.1?

Just curious if anyone is aware of any fix or workaround to this issue?

I'm using the latest 1.2 pre release, 64 bit. The steam controller is working but is stuck in menu mode and will not switch to any other mode.

Same here, Steam Controller on SteamOS (Jessy) is recognized by the OS, works in other games. Works in KSP 1.2pre as far as buttons go. But the Mode switching is not working.

In the KSP.log i find:

[EXC 14:51:27.541] FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'KSPUtil, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one$

The steam controller mode switch does work for me, in 1.1.  Similar to the rest of you, though, it does not work in the 1.2 pre release.  And it does work in 1.2 proper - sweet!

My mode switching was working in 1.1, but is not in 1.2. Has anyone found a solution?

After some poking around, i think i found out why. But it is up to Valve to fix it. 

In their Steam Controller plugin for KSP they reference a library from Squad (KSPUtil.dll) that has changed name. I think all they need to do is update their library references and recompile. 

I filed a support ticket, but so far no feedback. Maybe everyone having the issue should open a support ticket, that could bump it up their priority list.
