Hi all looking for a little help here.

I've been trying to setup and use steam link but all Ive been having are issues.
Originally I could not add windows and other 3rd party games to steam but after a lot of googling and trying a few things, I finally found a app called UWPHook which did it for me it for me.

After getting the game on steam, ive not been able to get the controller to work with the game after it loads, the controller works fine before the game loads bot after it loads I cant do anything.

any suggestions ?
 
Steam cannot pass controls through to windows uwp games etc. Its an issue with uwhook, instead look at virtual here in steam and that will basically do usb over IP and directly connect your controller to the remote machine as if it was local. The steam app effectively installs the vh client on the remote pc and on the steam link it will install the vh server.

If on android or android TV you'll have to install vh server directly on the android device... If steam link is running on a TV then I think you're out of luck.

Virtual here costs but I've found it invaluable in getting my controllers and other devices passed without problems.
Thanks for the reply.

I'm running it on a Samsung TV, I did download and install a app called GloSC but for me it does not seam to do anything.
 
Hmmm strange. I use GloSC with no issues on Tomb Raider via Windows app. Also works with origin.
Did you get the correct id for the game in question?

I did but I was loading the older shortcut on steam, so im going to give it another shot tomorrow and ill update you with what happens.
 
Just a update.

I tried it steam with GloSC today,it seam to have added a few more drivers for the controller.
It's still a headache, its only picking up some of the buttons, its not picking up the analog sticks, the movement is a little too fast and it still thinks im using a keyboard and mouse.
