Omg, now it works,thank you very much Darkreaper :) ,you are my heroe haha,I really appreciate your help,now I can play on TV from sofa :)

[LordBackHand]

lol np dude, game on man.

[Shibkuh]

DarkReaper, Where in the program files (X86) do i put all that? and I just use notepad to paste all that right?

[LordBackHand]

Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common >left 4 dead > cfg > 360 controller.ini, yea use notepad. Delete the first half of the page and paste it there, but not controller 2 section, then save. Sorry for the late response, hope this helps.

[KarrotKayke]

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, and forgive me if I am, but it's still not working. I went to exactly where you said but my right analog still doesn't work for aim. :/

[Cartin]

just copy and paste the stuff Dark wrote into a notepad,then paste it into Program Files (x86) if you have 64-bit windows if you have 32 bit windows then its just program files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\360 controller.ini 360 controller.ini is the name of the notepad u have to make

[prayformojo2]

Really new to PC gaming, so I must be doing something wronmg, because I do not see any ini files in those locations just cfg files. Thanks,

when you're in the cfg folder, and at the very top is the 360 controller file. Just open with note pad and copy and paste over the first half. leave the controller 2 bindings section alone. Hope this helps :)

Again credit goes out to the person who originally came up with this fix.

im trying to get this to work now with big picture... does it still work? because the right analog can move up/down to aim but not left to right

For me it doesn't work. I can't look up/down with gamepad 2 and the buttons to fire, change weapon, etc don't work in both gamepads. I am using 360 originals.

go to config.cfg in cfg folder and go to the last line. Change cmd1 +jlook to cmd2 +jlook. Done. You second xbox controller will be able to look up and down. Works for both l4d1 and l4d2.

[Noob]

my last line looks like this.



cmd1 +jlookcmd2 +jlook
