@NightHammer1000 NightHammer1000 released this 15 Sep 17:49

First standalone release. Stops Steam Input from holding your controllers while a game runs, so the game can use them directly, and hands them back to Steam when the game exits.

Install

  1. Exit Steam completely.
  2. Extract XInput1_4.dll and steam-input-lease.exe into your Steam folder, next to steam.exe.
  3. Start Steam, then set a game's launch options to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam-input-lease.exe" -- %command%

README.txt in the zip covers non-Steam games, shortcuts outside Steam and uninstalling.

Notes

  • If the controllers cannot be taken from Steam, the game still starts normally, and steam-input-lease.log next to the launcher says why.
  • Windows x64 only.
