  Hi all,

  My ESM-9013 is suddenly not working in the only Steam game I play (Dead By Daylight). Windows Device Manager has started picking it up under Human Interface Devices as a HID-compliant game controller, instead of seeing it as a 360 controller for Windows.

  

  The controller appears to work when testing in the game controller calibration, but nowhere else.

  I have unistalled the previously installed 64 bit driver and reinstalled it, then ran the dongle updater. Rebooting between each step.

  Previously appeared in Device Manager, etc like the following:

  

  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  No fix found, unfortunately.

  Using Steam in Big Picture mode does help with controllers working in game menus but not when playing the game itself (only tested with Dead By Daylight).

  I'm almost happy that i've found people encountering the same issue 😆 anyway the problem is annoying indeed; each time i start Windows 10 i have to unplug the dongle and plug it in again. If i forgot this operation, the gamepad keeps on flashing slowly 4/4 led, no matter what i do or push. Hope someone will find a fix ASAP 🧐

  @Alex Underwood I recently bought the smx9110 controller, and although steam recognised it as a xbox one controller, I was not able to use it at all. I unticked the xbox extended feature support option. Which removed the steam driver. Now, finally I am able to use it with steam games. Although yours seems to be more complex, maybe this might help some others, who, like me aren't tech savvy.
