xbox controller

[First Sea Lord Kiwi]

unable to use my wireless controller on windows 8.1 I plug it into the USB port and I am getting no response.

Have you downloaded the drivers from the Microsoft website for the controller?

[First Sea Lord Kiwi]

they dont have drivers compatable for windows 8.1
. the highest it goes to is windows 7

[Commodore Camacho]

That would be the issue.

I have windows 8 and am using wireless 360 controller...didnt upgrade to 8.1 though

Using Win 8 and a wireless xbox controller here as well with no issues

You need a wireless adaptor, plugging in with the play and charge does not make it wired, also download drivers if you do not have the disc or windows can download it for you when plugged in.

@TJkiwi no worries mate i can confirm that 360 wireless pad works on Win 8.1, just force(no pun intened) install Win 7 drivers and you are good to go. Might require system restart to take effect. Have fun:)

Does this game have controllrer support or are you mapping the buttons with a third party program?

[BmoreBraap]

No mapping needed, just select 360 controller as control input on the game launcher and its good to go.

[First Sea Lord Kiwi]

its still not working

[BmoreBraap]

is your controller working with other games?

[First Sea Lord Kiwi]

no its not working at all.

[Ryu_Sheng]

have you checked your controller on another machine to see if it's not dead?

[First Sea Lord Kiwi]
