Here’s how to fix your controller issues with Space Marine 2 on PC. Let’s go over the obvious stuff first – If you Alt-tab the game, or even on first startup of the game, you might need to make sure the game is the ‘active window’ and so can take controller inputs. To do this, just click on the screen with your mouse, or use a keyboard input.
The rest of the obvious stuff: Make sure your controller is plugged in, charged, and turned on. It’s dumb stuff, but let’s make sure anyway. That’s why it’s called troubleshooting.
Now the nitty-gritty. Does your controller work with other games? If yes, move on to another method. If not, you’ll need to make sure your controller is registered in the device manager of your PC. You also may need to download new drivers.
In general, new drivers can help a lot. Confusingly, it’s also recommended to update your graphics drivers as well, as sometimes that has an effect for some reason.
Then, for Steam, you’ll want to switch off Steam Input. First, unplug your controller. To do this, right-click on the game in your library, head to ‘Properties,’ ‘ Controller,’ and then ‘Disable Steam Input’ and then try plugging in your controller. This should reset the priority of the inputs and fix your controller issues.
