Sounds like your controller might be using direct input instead of XInput. Is there a setting for it? What controller are you using?
Old Xbox one controller, wired switch pro controller Wii mote and some off brand game cube controllers
The xbox controller should work but the other ones might need a program to translate them to Xinput. Either way check your Steam input settings, I think you can try to register and remap your controller there.
