I have been in a Hollow Knight playthrough for a couple of days now, and I am having issues with the inputs from my Switch Pro controller. On the first day it seemed to work just fine, but soon enough buttons began working strangely. Examples, the back left trigger usually paused the game instead of its usual function, as though it had been mapped to escape on keyboard or to "start" on the xbox controller steam input is emulating. The XY and AB pairings were also weird, I am very aware of how they are switched between nintendo and xbox, sometimes they would simply switch but sometimes they would do the same thing, as in both my A and B buttons make me jump.
I have tried fiddling with steam input, creating my own template that should match the xbox controller perfectly, or a template that instead maps to keyboard presses. I was able to play multiple days in a row using the mapping to keyboard presses with some annoyances. But it's not working again now.
I get this is difficult for people to give advice on. I have gone through a lot of old forum threads, one thing that came up often was going into options inside of the game and turning on "Native Controller Input", I even found a video of a guy where that is just an option inside his controller options in game. This option does not appear inside of my controller options. I saw that (Beta) in parantheses was after this option, and many other articles reccomended steam client Beta, so I switched to that but I can not find any change anywhere. And I cannot find information on "Native Controller Input" inside of Hollow Knight. If someone could tell me how to make this an option that would maybe get me on the path of a possible solution. Thank you!
