Steam Controller Not Working In Game Rocket League

Hello,
I have individually attempted to used both a PS4 and an XBOX 360 controller (not at the same time) with and without cables and they do not work in Stardew Valley. The XBOX controller was used on another computer and was able to play Stardew Valley from the other computer.
Steam recognizes the controllers and I can use them in other Steam games. I have checked and ensured the controllers are being seen as Controller 1. I have used DS4Windows emulator and it does not fix the issue. I have checked to ensure my bluetooth is only connected to a single controller so there is no influence from other devices. I have completely deleted all Stardew Valley files from my laptop (copying my save files to another location) and completely downloaded fresh from Steam after the most recent update. The controllers still do not work.
I am at a loss as to how to fix this and there are several posts on Steam and on this forum here of others reporting the same issue without any feedback on how to fix it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention I am running Windows 10 fully updated on an ASUS G751JM ROG laptop.

Are you having issues with buttons not working properly or controllers not being detected in-game? This can happen (mainly to PlayStation 4 controllers) if you have enabled PlayStation 4 Configuration Support on Steam. So running the game on my main computer and streaming it on the laptop works with controller, but using the main computer straight away does not work. Controller works elsewhere, but not in stardew. Controller is a wired xbox 360 controller. Shows up as controller in control panel devices and printers and calibrates fine. Controller input working in big picture but not in game. My controller seem to work in Big Picture but once in-game, none of the button work except the one to open up steam overlay. And in overlay i could use it to control the menu. I've tried it on 3 different games (Hades, Overcooked 2 and stikbold!).
