[Sonic Forces] Controller not working with steam input

[RookieFallGuy]

Describe the issue/bug

Whenever i turn on steam input my controller doesn't work however when i turn off the mod manager it suddenly works

Expected Behaviour

I was expecting my controller to work with steam input and the mod manager together

Additional Context

I've tried turning off steam input and it works but it has joystick and button problems like always moving to the right and double jumping without pressing the button twice

This issue may need to be transferred to hedge-dev/HE2ModLoader. Will also mark this issue as bug so it will not close.

Some users have reported that enabling Steam Input causes Sonic Forces to fail with the mod loader enabled. This will need to be looked at.

Can you try renaming dinput8.dll to d3d11.dll and see if the modloader start working with Steam Input?

I MANAGED TO FIX IT

1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%l\NeverFinishAnything\CommonLoader.storage

2. In the folder there will be several files that are strings of numbers with the .ini extension. Read them until you find one that starts with this: [Application] Name=Sonic Forces.exe

3. Delete that file, and reinstall the modloader if

@Carlnotaur Is your issue related to #653?

@RookieFallGuy Sorry for the very late response. Want to be be sure, renaming the file to d3d11.dll fixed the controller issues while loading mods? And renaming it back broke it again?

HMM will think the modloader is not installed when renamed as most MLs are being transitioned to the new name to allow compatibility with some common graphic injectors. I am thinking this transition may have conflicted with Steam Input.
