Multiple controllers interfere

38 votes

I have pedals, throttle and joystick connected to my PC. When I start Valheim, the axis on the throttle and pedals interfere, as if I was pressing the arrow buttons up/down rapidly scrolling through the menus. In game the view spins repeatedly again because of the axis on the throttle. I have to disconnect the controllers to stop this from happening.

Same problem for me.

I have this problem when using any game pad to play. I played the first 6 hours with a pad now I am unable to use it. The game won’t run for 10 minutes before I lose control.

Same here. I have to unplug all my other usb peripherals prior to starting the game, otherwise phantom inputs across the various devices makes it impossible to navigate menus or play.

New XSX wireless controller is not recognised 90% of the time. Same problem with generic and PS4 controller. Fiddled with steam settings etc.

Happily waiting for it to get fixed :)

Same issue, been bought the game by a family member and have been trying to assign keys due to my Left handed requirements. every time I click on a key to change it the menu just keeps scrolling up. I have multiple axis controllers mounted in a racing rig and I cannot unplug them without dismantling part of the rig.

This is also happening to me. Also with the way my rig is set up, it's kind of a pain in the ass to actually get to the USB disconnect for my sim rig. It's not enough to keep me from playing Valheim but it definitely makes me play it less :(

This makes the game unplayable. I am using Razer Orbweaver Chroma as a main keyboard and it's read as a joystick, making the game perpetually scroll. Which makes changing keybinds impossible. There needs to be an option to completely disable every other device than keyboard and mouse.

Same issue for me. I have a thrust master T 16000m plugged in, and I either have to unplug the joystick, or disable Gamepad support in the options. To get to the options, I had to lightly step on the left brake pedal of the rudder to get the spinning/menu controls to work.
