For those having controller issues

[Ki11s0n3]

Try this it worked for me.

A couple things you have to do before this:

1. Go to Steam - Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings -> enable Xbox Configuration Support
2. Right-click on game -> Properties -> under Steam Input Per-Game Setting choose "Use your global Steam input settings (Xbox)"
3. Wait a few moments for the Manage -> Controller configuration menu option to become available when right-clicking on the game

Note: I had to do what's described in the post, "add just a tiny bit to the slider for Fire End Delay" for all of my buttons except the triggers and d-pad, as they were all double-inputting at times. If you don't see this slider for something like pressing in the left stick, click on the box area for the left stick, then click where it says "Run/Stop Running" under the Click Action, and then click "show activators" at the bottom.

Hope this was all clear enough.

Edit: this may cause lower frame rates, as acknowledged by 505 here: [https://support.505games.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015301500-I-m-experiencing-framerate-stuttering-and-or-other-performance-drops-in-DEATH-STRANDING-](https://support.505games.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015301500-I-m-experiencing-framerate-stuttering-and-or-other-performance-drops-in-DEATH-STRANDING-) ... however there is still a fix. In this case, go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings -> ALSO enable PlayStation Configuration Support (thanks u/Le_molineaux). With both of these enabled, your global Steam Input settings should now say "PS/Xbox" and will maintain the "Fire End Delay" slider changes you made to the Xbox controller configuration, but in my case the frame rates went back up to what I was getting as if I wasn't using an Xbox controller.

Thank you I'll try this. Funny you just now post this as I paused the game to look for a fix. It's become ridiculous. I've gotten killed by so many BT's because of the controller issues.

Yeah it got worse the more I played so I started looking elsewhere and saw someone mention this. I didn't do the sliders cause I couldn't fine them, but the rest worked for me.

I also had no issues with framedrops even though the warning is there and I went into big picture mode to switch the settings to recognize the Xbox controller.

So far this has worked wonders. Thank you so much. I was getting a little frustrated because the rest of the game is flawless. Have a great week.

ill try this, the framerate issues are so weird--
graphics are running at ~30-40 FPS,
but steam/nvidia say FPS is 15-20 and controls are laggy....
if graphics were actually 15 fps the game would be unplayable, and framerate stays 15-20 whether I have graphics on minimum or maximum.

I only noticed it was the XBONE controiller when I dropped it, the batteries fell out, and my framerate jumped to 40+..... fkin microsoft can't do anything right.

Glad it worked for you and yeah I was the same way. It was getting to be unplayable until I found this.

Yeah, I think that's more between windows and the controller rather than the game though.
