"If you're wondering why it's impossible to launch games in Steam now using anything except the Steam client's Play button, it's because of Steam Input. Steam's trying to display a warning message about Steam Input needing to be configured.

There's no fix for this at the moment, aside from... Steam Client Emulator. I feel like a broken record here. Valve, you idiots, give us an option to turn Steam Input completely off. Or give me the option to refund my entire game library and buy it on a different store."

For future reference:

It's fixed in beta, still broken in release. It's waiting for a Steam Input warning dialog that's never displayed. Which, once again, if Valve would just give us a damn option to turn Steam Input off, would never have been a problem in the first place.

Whatever. The thing's broken, it needs fixing, and Valve needs to add an option to permanently disable Steam Input. I don't have time for this bullshit.

I don't want to waste my time debugging and fixing the Steam client, I'd rather to that for games, not the god damn broken store I bought the games on..

I'm perfectly fine with Steam Input as a concept. I personally don't use or need it, but it absolutely CANNOT be an obstacle to getting games to run. Valve could just add an option to disable Steam Input and I'd be happy.

Alas, the only thing they do is give you the option of hiding devices from Steam Input, which is not the same thing as disabling Steam Input. All of Steam Input's compatibility problems are forever stuck on if you buy a game on Steam, all because Valve won't give us the option to turn it off.

What's so bizarre about it? It breaks my games, then I have to go buy them on a different store. You'd be angry too if you had to buy games two times.

This is perfectly rational. Valve's forcing Steam Input on, on games already purchased, on the other hand is completely irrational. I can't refund those games, so I have either to use Mouse and Keyboard or pirate them.

None of that matters in this case, however, because I flat out cannot launch games at all. Now instead of lacking gamepad input, they also literally do not function, PERIOD -- FULL STOP.

I think it would be bizarre if anyone were in this situation and had anything but disgust.

Your crusade against Steam Input is so bizarre, it's one of the most beloved and popular features. I can use Playstation or Nintendo controllers to play virtually any PC game without any special drivers or janky third party apps. It's freaking awesome.

You will need to. There's no fix, so once you get the update, games won't launch anymore.
