Controller was Working Now messed up

[Deleted]

I've been using a Steerseries Duo (xbox like) controller for the last several months.
I've designed whole courses and done lots of golf with no problem.
It's been a couple weeks since playing and I logged in to do some designing and my controller is all over the place.

The buttons are wrong.  The D pad partially works.  the triggers don't zoom.  It's not usable.

I've tried every configuration and even tried some custom mapping but its  a mess.

No idea why this would happen when it was running so well.  I even uninstalled the controller drivers and reset everything in Steam.  No luck.

I've ordered a new Xbox One controller in hopes that gets me going again, but if this was a Steam or TGC2019 update/change I'm super not impressed!  

Any suggestions would be welcome to get me back and running.

Thanks - Jerry

Jerry, may or may not be related to your problem, but occasionally my PS4 controller does the same thing on Steam, some of the sticks/buttons work others don't. I have to leave the game, recheck the "controller configuration', and then go back into the game and that fixes it. It seems random but it has occurred several times. Also I am using a wired controller, don't know if that helps or hurts.

Thanks for the suggestion Sandsavor01, but that didn't work this time.

BUT! Good news is that I found a fix.

I went into my TGC directory (...SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA TOUR) and backed up that entire folder (just in case my experimenting didn't work)
I then deleted that entire folder
I then ran Steam and the option to check the integrity of the TGC2019 files
Once this ran it said I was missing components and reinstalled a few things.
I then ran the game and everything worked - I didn't even lose my setup or unpublished courses

So I hope if anyone else has this problem then you can benefit from the 10 hours I spent over the last several days trying to troubleshoot this.
