this is more of an issue with the hardware: i dont have an xbox controller and i knew the keyboard wouldnt work because of the couch play thing, so i did the best thing i could; Use a dualshock 4 with steam! unfortunatley, the game is still recieving ps4 controls as ps4 controls, if it even is recieving controls from steam. tbh this probably is an issue with steam and not with the game but i want to be sure.
I was using A Dualshock 4 controller via Steam Big Picture mode. it might be problem with it not interpreting any controls, but i just want to be sure
P.S.
Dualshock 4 controllers are ment for the PS4, however, a recent update to big picture allows you to connect a controller and set it so that buttons are interpreted as xbox input
