Xbox One Controller not working?

[Karny]

Hey everyone,

Just tried playing this for the first time in ages, and I can't seem to get my Xbox One controller to work. With default settings, in Big Picture mode, I see the controller pop up when the game starts, and the correct controller profile is loaded, but the game doesn't detect the controller at all.

I've tried forcing the control settings on and off, and neither seems to help.

I've tried verifying the install files, but that hasn't done anything either.

FWIW, I'm running Windows 11.

I've tried searching, but this doesn't seem to be a widespread issue. Anyone come across this before or know of any other things I can try? Thanks!

Turn on bluetooth in the Windows setting and unpair then pair it back.

Doesn't work after that, update your audio drivers.

Thanks for the tip! Tried that, but unfortunately the game still doesn't see the controller.

In case I wasn't clear from my first post; the controller works fine in other games and in big picture - Horizon just doesn't seem to detect it.

Looks like other people have had issues, too. Also isn't WIn11 like, technically still in beta?

Yes this is an old issue. Happened to me on Win10. Disable Steam Overlay and try. Worked for me.

Yeah, it is - but it's been totally fine so far! (this aside... maybe?)

I really like the auto-HDR feature they've brought over from Xbox Series X.

Thank you! I tried that and it doesn't seem to be the solution in my case - glad you managed to get yours working though, that gives me hope.

I think u have to try email Guerilla games support. Maybe they'll have a test to see if what you say is true about Windows 11 and release a patch.

This is a silly question, but have u tried pressing buttons on the controller?

I noticed HZD has a minor UI bug where they show the key options rather than controller options sometimes even if your controller is on.

Yeah, right!

Since we all know that GG has ignored the article from DF https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eurogamer.net/amp/digitalfoundry-2021-horizon-zero-dawn-is-it-finally-fixed and you better believe GG and Sony know about this article 4-months ago when it was published, without any of the latest fixes to address that article's findings, you're only dreaming that GG will respond to a random email that has issues in it about their game

I met the same problem. I had played for almost 30h weeks ago and my controller worked normally back then. But today it failed to work. I am running on win 10, so that this is not a win 11 issue.
Looking forward to a solution.

I had the same issue 2 weeks ago! I have tried to play with both an Xbox and play station controller (Both Wired) and neither work, both controllers however work on every other game perfectly fine.

I emailed their support and had no response.

Sorry to hear you've run into the same issue, but thanks for confirming that it's not Win11.

Lets hope some clever clogs figures out a solution!

Same here.

I'm using a wireless and wired XBOXOne Controller.

Every other game supports those controllers from the get-go but no, this game thinks it's special and won't even recognize that I'm using a controller.

I did everything people suggested:

- Disabling the Steam Overlay
- Tinker around with the Steam built in controller setup
- Used other controllers besides mine (which is a stupid suggestion, since both work perfectly fine - so it's the game and not the controllers)

I was able to use a controller until October 2020. Then after whatever happened it outright refused to work.

And no - just because I'm on a PC won't make me use M+K for a Third-Person Melee focused game. It worked before - so there's that.

And I'm not alone with that problem - many others have the same issue.
So did anybody find a solution? And I don't care if it works fo you, because you (whoever that might be) are not relevant to me and my gameplay experience. The issue-free operability of a previously functioning setup is relevant for me.

Melee focused game.

Pretty sure you're on the wrong forum. Horizon Zero Dawn is very much not melee focused.

[🅷🅴🆇🅴🅽]

Pretty sure, I'm not. I'm on the HZD forums.

[Seamus]

You're pretty misinformed about the game then. It's most definitely not melee focused.

It is in fact almost entirely focused on ranged combat. Which is why keyboard and mouse is so much better for it.
