Pes 2016 Steam Controller Could Not Be Located Link 'link' Instant

When Steam forcibly enables "Steam Input" for PES 2016 (which it does by default for many non-optimized games), it creates a virtual Steam Controller device. PES 2016 looks for a traditional DirectInput or XInput hardware device, doesn't find one, and throws the error: – meaning the link between Steam's virtual driver and the game's legacy input system is broken.

If the error specifically mentions a "link" or if clicking "Play" does nothing before giving the error, your Steam shortcut might be broken. pes 2016 steam controller could not be located link
