Version

master at 9e9382d

Bug

Controller is not working.

Expected

It was working in last stable build 1.5.0.1

Steps to reproduce

Build the project from master branch, open NitroxLauncher.exe after plugging in a controller, after opening the game the cursor will move randomly and clicked buttons.

Other details:

Windows 10
I have already opened Steam in the background.

Could you upload your game log (it's located inside the launcher folder)?

Sure.

launcher-20220205.log

game-20220205.log

Btw, this is the log from 1.5.0.1

launcher-20220205.log

game-20220205.log

I also notice another behavior, when clicking "Play Multiplayer" in v1.5.0.1, it will first open Steam in the background (Steam icon appeared at the Task Bar and disappeared shortly), and then start the game. While using the master branch, it will open the game directly without Steam icon on Task Bar.

I am not sure whether it is related to fbd4229 and #1609

NitroxLauncher/LauncherLogic.cs logic is changed from "steam://run/264710" to the real path of the game exe.

Finally to workaround by revising launch method of Steam platform.
Please see if it is a suitable modification. #1724

Yeah, since 1.5 we reworked the whole logic behind platform management
