Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/394510/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (394510) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. Quick Example: Steam Input while "Enabled w/o Controller Support" is enabled for PlayStation Controllers
  3. Otherwise: it might be considered a separate Input Device.

    If Using an Input Remapper[Note 2]: you might witness the Double Input issue.[3]

    Checked by having DualShock 4 device plugged via USB, while Dualsense controller had Steam Input be auto-enabled via Bluetooth connectivity.

    Because of that: DualShock 4 user will be experiencing a Double Input bug where a "Player 3" will be joining a play session.

    Confirmed D3D11 was used through RTSS.
