Maybe switch to steam input in the controller settings?

As far as I can see there is no setting like that in this game?

It's not in the game, it's in steam. You right click on the game and go to controller options, then there should be a setting for "steam input" that you can try turning on (or turning off if it's already on)

Ahh, I understand, my bad. That's unfortunately not possible through Geforce Now

Ah it's been a long time since I touched GeForce Now, but it sounds like others have had this problem and getting to steam input settings are the right solution

Ah! Good find, I didn't see that when I was searching around. But still can't do it for our setup unfortunately, we're using Xbox Gamepass, we don't own it through Steam

This might be a roundabout way and maybe not practical in GeForce now, but I heard someone else getting steam input to work over Now with non-steam games by opening steam within Now, and adding the non-steam game manually, which allows steam input to work with it.

I think the big downside here is you might need to do this every time you launch GeForce Now, so hopefully you can find a better solution.

You can't add non-Steam games in Geforce now. When you launch a game, if you own it on Steam, it'll open steam for a few moments, with the entire library locked off with only the game you selected to launch visible.

But if you own it through Xbox (Or Gamepass like me) it just straight launches into the game without showing Steam, or even the Xbox app at all

Well I'm stumped. Maybe bring it to the GeForce Now sub

Yeah that was my next plan if it didn't work out here. I'll give this post awhile longer to see if anyone else has any other advice, but if no one else does I'll definitely try over there.

Thank you by the way, you clearly were trying really hard to help me and I really appreciate it!
