Rocket League steam controller player 2 only

By Sebastian Wright

Rocket league won't let me play as player 1 using my steam controller. It says "Press |> to join" and then goes into split screen mode.

Disable desktop mode for the steam controller using the following steps:

Steam > View > Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration > Browse Configs > Show Other Controller Types

Choose one of the disabled ones (PS4 or Xbox) and apply it.

This will disable the mouse/keyboard emulation of the steam controller which apparently confuses Rocket League.
