how can i use the steam controller as a gamepad when im not running steam
You simply can't because there are no Drivers for it and Steam.exe is acting like the driver itself so that even projects like https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI are piggybacking on Steam.exe's existence. You may try combining that GlosSI + SteamCMD (command line version) for a minimal impact on your system but you can't avoid installing Steam.

I need some help, after the update I've got this error. Anyone knows how to fix?
Now I assume you are running it through steam to make use of steam input. The workaround to run the launcher independently and still use steam input is to use glossi . Here’s a YouTube video on how to set it up: youtube .

Using Switch Pro controller with Epic Games + DLC
I use BetterJoy when playing non-Steam games that don't natively support the Switch Pro controller. Works on other EGS games like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Hitman 3, so it might work with Outer Wilds too.

TIL you can combo GlosSI and RemotePlayWhatever to use Steam's Remote Play Together with Xbox PC Game Pass games
Or... You can use https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows for Sony and https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy for Nintendo and https://github.com/parsec-cloud to do the very same thing without piggybacking on Steam at all, provided that it's also same to convince your friends to use your apps or my apps.
