Won't detect controller when launched from Steam

Issue:
Won’t detect controller when launched from Steam.

I got everything setup with Majora’s Mask 3D, then set the launch with Steam ROM Manager. The controller doesn’t do anything when launched from Steam, while it is detected automatically when launched from LaunchBox or Citra directly.
Happens with both Switch Pro and Dualsense controllers.

Anyone else run into this? Feels like Steam is holding onto the controllers but this doesn’t happen with other emulators (retroarch)

Either disable Steams’ controller drivers in Steam’s big picture settings, or make sure to map the controller again after launching through Steam.
