In other news, idk why the f*** this is a limited release (both digital and physical)
Arggh I think Control update today freaking broke crontroller detection. I can’t seem to make it use PS4 Controls.
“Control can now be played offline on Steam.”
* Control can now be played offline on Steam.
* Removed redundant developer info from the window title bar
* AWE content and opening mission will unlock properly when importing save files from the Epic Games Store version of the game.
* Fixes to Japanese localization
* The Foundation: Fixed a bug that could potentially prevent players from completing side missions
Wonderful they broke Saving settings feature lol. Time to use SK to rollback version.
WOnderful latest Control update just broke preference settings being able to save. They no longer save and I made mistake of deleting my preferences_data file and now it just keeps going back to default settings. Not cool man. I can’t even change my Controller layout either.
Tried clearing the userdata folder if it has anything in there?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\NUMBERS\870780
Though if cloud saving is enabled it might just re-sync it again, sometimes you have to crash the sync process and through the troubleshooting message and options you get from that forcibly clean up the data but make sure you back up all files first so you don’t actually lose anything you want to keep.
Reread what I stated. I deleted the very file that preference data is saved too and it won’t do anything. that folder includes all Saves and everything. I have cloud off by default. Don’t like it. never have never will.
Edit: right now I am not the only one on Steam Forums talking about broken Controller setting for DS4.
And it gets worse. I cant rollback Steam depot b/c they literally only have two of them. Public and test.
That’s a problem in itself too due to a potential bug when Steam added the UI overhaul.
Enable cloud sync, start the game once and make sure it saves data and then exit the game and disable cloud. 
Had a really difficult time with Ni No Kuni 1 before I figured out why I had to replay the entire game all over constantly and it read as the data was corrupt.
I see the file save actually. and the controller option doesnt stick. After exiting it. I seen modified times on file.

Input is a thing though, it’s very possible they bugged something in the input settings and if Big Picture and Steam Controller overrides won’t work they might have to hotfix it.
EDIT: Good to hear it’s not the profile bug then.
EDIT: And I assume SpecialK is also not causing any input issues here? Might have to disable XInput and some other settings if you use that to see how that works.
I don’t think Kaldaien has a DS type controller for testing this.
Its not SK. It wasn’t working without sk either. Remember I stated its being reported quite a bit on Steam Discussion.
Ah yeah and if it’s discussed widely it might be a controller detection issue in the game itself then, not everyone would be using a DS4 → XInput wrapper solution either especially if the game had native support before.
EDIT: Might be possible to use a Steam setting to force this but I think it’s more for XInput devices and the Steam pad itself and making devices behave as XInput which for many games means XBox icons unless you can manually select a type.
(Autodetection being a funny thing occasionally and causing more problems than it’s convenience tries to solve automatically.)
You can choose if you want Xbox Control Prompts or PS Control Prompts. That is the setting that is broken. And that dictates if icons show properly.

Shame Steam (likely caved to demands.) made rollback to prior patches much more difficult by restricting a unpatched Steam .dll client file which blocks depot downloading like it used to.
I suppose that technically since Kaldaien isn’t part of Steam directly anymore SKIF could have a button to patch said file too and restore this but that might aggravate Valve further besides this conflict of opinion on certain Steam API modifications or how that worked out.
EDIT: Probably patch in memory ideally or back up the file to avoid triggering validation on restarting the Steam client and such by direct file changes avoiding problems like that.
They only have two depots for control. Its on current update. And test. Which was updated 3 days ago. They apparently remove the others when they update.
Yeah but the content is still there.
So Control:
https://steamdb.info/depot/870781/
https://steamdb.info/depot/870781/manifests/
download_depot 870780 870781 7891459389476737750 2970702313555401160
Prior version 789~ compare with ~297 and get diffs.
download_depot 870780 870781 7891459389476737750 2970702313555401160
Current version ~297 compare with prior version ~789 and get diffs.
But it’s blocked now without patching a .dll file first restoring said functonality.
EDIT:
Control Application ID:
870780
Control depot ID:
870781
And then the manifest you want and when paired with another manifest it compares and downloads the difference data though it can still be a bigger download but it won’t be the entire game in entirety like if you just used one manifest version.
This downloads off to a slightly separate folder you can just copy over into the main game folder.
When it worked or when it works after patching the Steam client file first due to said lock on this otherwise.
EDIT: Ah so that’s what it is.

Interesting, also a bit rough but info for the Navi20’s and what’s going on although not a full confirmation.
CPU in the spotlight over AMD’s own GPU’s sounds a bit odd but who knows maybe it’s a thing.
Nobody uses PCGamingWiki >_<
I even wrote an updated section over there on how to use DepotDownloader…

Aemony for control there is only 2 depots. The current update and test one. No other they deleted all the other depots for the game. That is the problem I can’t downgrade.
https://steamdb.info/app/870780/depots/
how am I supposed to downgrade? Even in SK no other depots show other than current one the steam game is installed.
Edit:
I see you gotta find the original manifest file from previous version of game. Not 100% sure on how to go about that. And it looks like this method of rollback is quite extensive.

I know most of you probably don’t use ResetEra, but if you do, I spent a very long time creating this writeup, and would love your feedback.
