greenlight: Controller not working anymore in 2.1.0 (XBOX Wireless Controller, M2 Macbook Pro, Sonoma)

Describe the bug

The controller shows up in Greenlight’s setting once I press a button, so Greenlight at least sees it. It works also fine when I test it with Chrome on https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad. And it shows properly under MacOS’s controller settings.

But when a stream is started on the local network no input from the controller is sent to the console. If I revert back to 2.0.1 the controller works instantly again.

It makes no difference if I add Input Monitoring to Privacy & Security for Greenlight or not. Neither does it make a difference if I start the app as a user or from the shell using sudo. 2.0.1 works, 2.1.0 doesn’t anymore for me.

I did no other change anything beside upgrading the app. Controller not working. Downgrading working again. Currenly this is reproducible on my end.

To Reproduce

Start a stream, no input sent to the console.

Expected behavior

Start a stream. input sent to console.

Environment

Version: Greenlight 2.1.0
OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1
PC: MacBook Pro
Console: Series X
Controller: XBox Wireless Controller
Controller Connection: Bluetooth (cable never worked for me)
Network: LAN, everything cabled

Anything else?

Yep, confirmed. Thanks for letting know! The issue seems to be in the old gamepad driver. Will push a new version with this bug fixed soon.

Workaround In the Settings, on the Input page there is an option to use the new gamepad driver. Please enable that and the controller should start working again.

It’s probably not widely known but you can also press the view + menu (also known as select + start) to open the nexus menu.

Eta for the fix is going to be in ± 24 hours

Version 2.1.1 has been released and should contain a fix for the controller. Additionally the N button is fixed on the new Gamepad driver. Please test it and let me know if it fixes the problem on your side too.

After the update, the Steam Deck controller became unresponsive when linked to Xbox.

on Steam Deck also does not work control
