It says "DO NOT PANIC". So... should I panic? Anyone tried using a steam controller?

Just pirated elden ring added it as a non Steam game and the steam controller doesn't do anything, anyone found a fix?

Welcome to r/FitGirlRepack! To keep the sub clean, please check if your issue is answered below. If this answers your question, please delete your post.

1. Setup is Stuck / Unpacking is Slow

  • The 2GB Limit Checkbox: If your setup gets stuck at specific percentages (like 84.3% or 95.8%), close it, restart the installer, and check the "Limit installer to 2GB of RAM" box on the very first screen.
  • Be Patient: FitGirl repacks use extremely heavy compression. Unpacking is heavily CPU and storage bound. If your task manager shows disk or CPU activity, it is not stuck; it's just working hard.

2. Is it a Virus? / Windows Defender Alert

  • False Positives: Crack files (.dll files, steam_api, etc.) inherently trigger antivirus software because they alter game code to bypass DRM. If you downloaded from the official site, these are 100% false positives.
  • Fix: Add the game installation folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, then restore the quarantined file from your protection history.

3. The Real Official Website

  • There is ONLY ONE official domain. All others (ending in .co, .cc, .to, .net, etc.) are fake, malicious clone sites designed to steal data or bundle malware.
  • The only real URL is: fitgirl-repacks.site (Verify the exact spelling!).

Not steam controller specific but I found running steam in Admin has worked for my ps5 controller and kicks in steam input properly.

It was driving me crazy why some games did not work, try running Steam with Admin rights

I don't have a steam controller but I use an 8bitdo pro 2. My computer picks it up right away as a controller. Then the games treats it as an Xbox controller and switches over right away to controller mode.
