Controller won't work?

[chuck-18]

It just won't register the controller; I change the setting and it just doesn't pick up the controller. In the process of uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps

Having the same issue. When I have it set to Automatic it just swaps between KB/M and Controller over and over and if I set it to Controller only it just wont respond at all and I have to force close the game because the KB/M option is now gone.

Exact same issue on my end; hoping the reinstall fixes it

Don't waste time reinstalling. Just disable Steam Inputs under controller layout and it should work properly.

Already halfway through the reinstall but I'll try this next. Did that work for you?

Hey, got some tips for controller issues here:

1) Make sure your controller drivers are updated. For Xbox controllers, especially elites, that means downloading the Xbox hardware companion app - which pushes updated drivers directly to the device that are much more complete than the default windows drivers. I don't know the process for Sony or others, but I imagine they have some similar companion software.

2) Make sure the correct controller is enabled through steam settings. I've got a pretty decent tutorial (https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/rocket-league-c5719357623323/troubleshooting-c7261971242139/steam-controller-configuration-for-rocket-league-a5720080467483) that is for Playstation controllers in Rocket League, but you can easily follow them for any controller or game you mean to set up.

3) Try launching the game through Big Picture mode. It's a weird hitch, but sometimes this seems to force your already applied settings to take hold.
