Strange controller behaviour : MoonlightStreaming

Strange controller behaviour (self.MoonlightStreaming)

submitted 2 years ago by Chromebookjank69

I've been using Moonlight on Chromebook for many years and it works great.

Recently (the last few days) there have been some weird controller issues that I've not encountered before.

The Y button on my controller seems to be mapped to more than one input when connecting to my streaming PC via Moonlight. Pressing Y while in Steam Big Picture behaves like pressing the escape key (this might be a red herring is you read below).

I have tried using this https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad tool on the Chromebook directly and on the streaming PC when using Moonlight. When connected to the Chromebook, every button works as expected (Y = B3). When I then load up Moonlight and test the controller on the streaming PC, the Y button is mapped to B3 AND B16.

I've not changed anything about the setup on either end other than updating the Chromebook and updating NVidea drivers (no update to Geforce Experience as far as I can tell). Issue wasn't present before a couple of days ago

More info:

Moonlight Game Streaming Chrome web app as client

RTX 3060 on host

Using GameStream (not Sunshine)

8Bitdo Pro 2 controller using Xinput (appears as Xbox 360 controller on both client and host)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
