For the people that don’t have epic games on their stem just at the bottom of the screen it says add game add epic and then make sure it’s closed and ur controller is connected and click big picture mode and u should be able to move with your controller then go to library and click epic games then click play and at the bottom left of epic u should see it said config loaded
This actually worked. I thought it didnt but make sure to close ur epic games launcher in the task manager before you launch it in steam. Just a little tip so you dont have to go thru the pain i went thru
I have a generic gamepad which I love and have been trying to get it to work with The long Dark and Inside on epic (yep, christmas event ;)) and this finally solved it! Thank you
I think since this video, EPIC have realised people were doing this, and have prevented this from working now. :( They would prefer people stick to using crappy EPIC launcher instead that doesn't support our controllers. Currently if you try to run Epic launcher through Steam, it does nothing "Through it" but simply opens EPIC launcher externally...
@@barnowl5394 Yeah u were right, btw a reminder to everyone, even if u didn't saw epic launcher on ur window, it's still running in the background, make sure u go to task manager and click end task for epic launcher, then immediately go to steam to open the epic launcher, then the magic will happen 😎
Very helpful, didn't know controllers doesn't work on epic games. It was frustrating to play rocket league using a controller. Your video helped solved it. Thank you mate.
guys, it didn't work for me at first because epic was running as a background process. To close it, open task manager, go to background processes, and end epic games,
THIS IS THE CONTROLLER FIX FOR NBA 2K21 ON EPIC GAMES RUNNING THROUGH STEAM THAT WORKED FOR ME AFTER TRYING ALL THE STEPS AND COULD WORK FOR OTHER GAMES ON EPIC GAMES: -Make sure you to try all the steps on the video -Configure the controller settings first on Steam here are the steps: 1. Open Steam>Click on Steam on the Upper left hand corner>Choose Settings>Controller>GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS 2. Make sure to check the correct controller type you are using 1. Go to Big Picture Mode>Go to Epic Games Launcher>Select Manage Shortcut>Go to Controller Application Options 2. Make sure ENABLE OVERLAY ON NON-STEAM GAME is CHECKED 3. On the drop down "Steam Input Per-Game Setting" choose FORCED ON Thanks for the video and already subscribed to the channel!
What a wonderful piece of video! I love it. Thank you so much for your help! I really had some trouble setting it up before this. This really helped me! Thanks once again!
Had the same Problem but then checked with the Task Manager if the Epic Games Launcher is running in the background by default. Turns out it actually is. Closed it and the it worked.
Bro I hope you get blessed. Thank God I found your channel. I just bought a new controller and it wouldnt work at Epic Games Launcher. After this video, it worked. TYSM
Make sure you guys are closing out of Epic games Launcher completely & going to y’all’s task manager & ending the epic games task before launching epic games from Steam :)
I have done this. I have watched like thousand tutorials of this. I have done everything right, but it still doesn't work. When I open up rocket league from steam, I can't do anything . It says, "press any button to start". I press every button I have on my controller. And yeah, before anyone comment "have you checked that your cable is plugged into your computer", yes I have done that many times. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please make an answer to my comment here!
Thanks, at first I thought "oh no another video of start your game via steam client", but starting the epic games launcher over steam feels much more criminal. This fix helped me with Shadow of the tomb raider, which i got for free on epic games, but it was not possible to start it via steam. Now I can play it with my controller. ❤
@Erick alright look bro, i just got your issue today just now, and the way i solved it is to remove the epic games launcher from steam first, then adding it back later, it worked for me
I used this method all the time for a year and just yesterday night I can't use my PS4 controller to play Fortnite anymore. It detects my controller as a mouse and keyboard and not a controller. Been so frustrated. :/
if it doesnt work its cuz ur epic isnt rlly closed go to ur task bar and scroll down to backround proccess and end task of epic games then it should work
Yo thanks i was getting really frustrated with my controller acting like a mouse and all the buttons were fucked when i was trying to play RL now everything is normal greatly appreciated
If this doesnt work try to turn on overlay in the top left corner of steam > In game > Enable the Steam overlay while in game. I think this worked for me?
I dont know why every source says this is the solution, and all the comments are saying it works but it doesnt?? I launch Epic games launcher through steam, no overlay possible, no controller support still. I tried thru social club also. I'm gonna blow my brains out.
easy fix, just dont connect your controller until you opened the game from epic store. so basically, open epic store from steam -> open game from epic store -> connect controller
Damn that's tough, you know epic games launcher is bad when it has to rely on OTHER applications to get any type of controller support. They recently added all of KH to the launcher with no controller support but the game itself LOL laughable asf
Great video, I just have a quick question. There seemed to be a bit of input delay when you were playing, Is that the recording software you used, or is it a Steam related issue?
I am not able to do that my controller does not connect, im not able to play with my controller, it works on steam but when i change it to epic it dosent work.
