Steam – Cannot get Steam Controller to work with FIFA16 (Origin)

controllersfifa-16originsteamsteam-link

I recently bought a Steam Controller and it works very well with all the Steam games and features. Some days ago I bought FIFA16 and, as you probably know, it is an EA game accessible only by Origin.

I'm really struggling to get the steam controller to work properly with FIFA16. I already added both origin and fifa16 as non-steam games and I also made sure to uncheck conflicting origin settings.

The problem is that, even if I managed to use the most voted controller configuration on steam (big picture), when I get into the game and I start a new match the commands won't work. Also, I can't change them from FIFA16 and FIFA16 doesn't see my Controller, it just sees mouse+keyboard or only keyboard.

How can I solve this?

For this problem there is a workaround.

  • In Origin-settings disable origin-ingame(the overlay)
  • shut down origin
  • add fifa16.exe from your installation directory to steam via "add a non-steam game to steam"
  • start the recently added fifa16.exe from Steam.

Now the Steam overlay should work ingame and you can setup your Steam Controller
