Client update breaks 8bitdo Pro 2 Dinput controllers
Your new client update has broken the ability to use 8bitdo Pro 2 controller in Dinput mode. Previously the controller was recognized correctly and used the selected controller settings within the client. Now the controller registers as 2 controllers simultaneously (xbox 360 controller + bluetooth input device) regardless of settings selected.

Confirmed to be caused by the steam client by checking functionality in non-steam programs -- all of which remain functional as expected.

Whatever input changes were pushed need to be investigated and rolled back if compatibility can't be maintained.

Can you update to the latest FW for the device? https://support.8bitdo.com/firmware-updater.html

I would appreciate an update on where you are with the bugs that were introduced in your most-recent update

From the logs from your computer it doesn't look like Steam is seeing multiple devices. Do you mean the app you are running through Steam is seeing more than one device?

Correct. After the client update with 8bitdo controller changes, retroarch now sees the controller as two separate devices (an xbox 360 controller and a bluetooth input device). This behavior did not occur in any previous steam client build and does not occur with standalone retroarch. The only conclusion is the controller changes shipped in the client update have broken dinput support for 8bitdo pro 2 controllers in retroarch when used via steam.

Changing controller settings in the steam client (enabling/disabling various settings) also produces no change of any kind to the observed controller issue (e.g. disabling steam input)
