Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jul 20 2021, at 22:25:57 (host) - Jul 20 2021, at 15:33:57 (client, macOS)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Controller forwarding from macOS client does not work half the time, and when it does work, it has severe issues, such as latency, and vibration getting stuck permanently even across multiple restarts of the session, requiring a full restart of Steam on both machines.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start Steam on Arch host.
  2. Start Steam on macOS client.
  3. Connect Steam to Psychonauts 2 session.
  4. Notice that Steam client interface responds to controller and allows connecting it to the host, but host does not respond to controller.
