Hello there!

After gaining extensive experience with Aster and managing multiple complex configurations, I've encountered a new issue that I'm unable to resolve.

Configuration:

  • A computer with two sessions/screens, with Aster installed and configured.

  • One Xbox controller associated exclusively with one session.

    • nnz9Q3q

    Steps to Reproduce:

  • Run a game on the first session/screen using Steam with the controller; everything runs fine. (1.2 - "Salon" in screenshot)

  • Simultaneously, launch Steam Big Picture on the second session: the cursor moves without any keyboard/mouse action. In fact, Steam Big Picture is being controlled by the controller from the first session! It seems the controller is sending actions to both sessions. If a game is launched through Big Picture, the controller from the first session also controls the game on the second session. (1.1 - "Bureau" in screenshot)

    • It seems that the problem is linked to conflicts between Steam's controller management and Aster.

    Without Big Picture, everything runs fine. Has anyone else faced this situation before?

    Thanks in advance for your time ! 😀

    Since this is a specific use case, checking forums related to Aster or Steam might yield solutions from users who have faced similar challenges.

    Big Picture is a Steam mode designed for use with TVs and game controllers. Check your controller support level to find out if there are any issues.

    Since the issue arises when launching Big Picture, consider launching it in a way that restricts the controller input to only the intended session. You might also try running Steam as an administrator to see if that changes how input is handled.
