Hi there,

We're using the recommended way of calling Steam.steamInitEx() from GDscript to initialise Steam, but are hitting issues with Steam Input's controller hijacking behaviour (namely, that Steam Input's virtual controller doesn't initialise until after the game window is re-focused, and that once it does, we get double inputs from it and the real controller). Is there an easy way to have GodotSteam initialise Steam earlier (eg before the game's window is created)?

I was hoping that that is what the Project Settings -> Steam -> Initialization -> Initialize on Startup setting does, but enabling it results in the game crashing with this output:

ERROR: Failed to retrieve non-existent singleton 'RenderingServer'.
   at: get_singleton_object (core/config/engine.cpp:325)
ERROR: Parameter "singleton_obj" is null.
   at: get_singleton (godot-cpp/gen/src/classes/rendering_server.cpp:54)

Edit: Looking at GodotSteam's code, it does look like this setting would do the right thing, so maybe my question is: why does enabling this setting cause a crash, and how do I get it to not do that? :P (Edited title to reflect this.)

Edit 2: Oh, it's because I also have the Embed Callbacks setting enabled, which I guess doesn't work at this point because it assumes various other Godot singletons are available. I think that's okay cos we can work around this for now!
