I tried adding the games to Steam so I can force controller settings through it...now ME1 gets stuck in the splash screen... *sigh* Maybe I did it wrong, gonna try again.

Funny thing is though: Series X controller works fine everywhere for me: EGS, Uplay, Steam, Bethesda's client...it's only Origin that rebels against that piece of hardware^^

And here I was hoping I could also enjoy Biomutant with that Play Pro subscription... :/

I have other games on Origin and my controller works fine with those games. I don't think they did a great job on coding it for using a pc controller since it wasn't originally coded for a controller.

If I recall correctly (I might be completely wrong though), ME1 worked with my 360 wireless controller, so did ME2. It was ME3 that needed mods to add controller support (which was two seperate mods for single and multiplayer).

I remember using a 360 controller but I had to do somethings, I can't remember what, so I could use the controllers. The Windows 10 came out and I had to get digital versions of the game and those I could not get to work with a controller.

Its an accuring problem with steam, it does for most games that support Xbox Controller.

Left click on game and select Enable Steam sontroller overlay
Than go to controller layout, and pres X to show recomanded control layouts
Select the first one "Raccomanded" and than accept.

Restart the game, it should work perfectly.

The same applys for games like Tekken 7, MK X, MK 11, Titan Fall 2

This is bad advice. I wish steam did a better job of explaining to ppl.

If a game has Native Controller Support (99% of games do, including ME:LE)
then you just disable all of the Steam api controller crap.
Go to Settings in top left corner first-Controller-General Controller Settings-disable/untick everything.
Then right click game in library-Properties-Controller-Use Default Settings.

Leave it like this. Only needs messing with if the game doesnt have native pad support.

I'm playing with Xbox One Controller with no issues.

I can tell you for a fact, that even without "Steam API controller crap", ME:LE has issues with the Series X controller. So does FIFA 21. In fact, it is only Origin games that seem to have an issue with it. All Steam games work fine, all games on Epic Games Store and even all games I have on the crappy Bethesda Launcher work fine with a Series X controller. Origin is the exception and probaboly the culprit here.

That may be true for a Series X, I'm using Xbox Elite Series 2 controller & all my Origin games work correctly (inc ME LE). In fact I almost exclusively use a pad on PC, & I've never had a problem with controller support in my life.
My point is that a lot of ppl enable steam controller, when they shouldn't.

Launch the game Via Origin. I have never gotten the game to detect my Series X controller OR launch the steam overlay when launching via steam. For some unknown reason if I launch thru Origin the overlay launches and my controller is detected. Go figure.

Mine IS detected as well, it jsut doesn't worrk properly (X and A buttons are swapped, some menus can't be navigated with the analog stick and in those that can, down on the stick moves the selection up and vice versa).

That sounds like a steam controller config issue. Open the steam overlay and try to select a different controller preset. Also, make sure you have the Xbox configuration and Xbox Extended Feature support enabled in steam's controller settings. I don't assume to know what you have or haven't tried and I hope this doesn't come off as me treating you like a dumb-ass. I come from a tech support background and it has ruined me forever.

Basically, to be blunt, Windows 10 has garbage controller support. They basically support Xbox360 controllers, and that's it. If it doesn't support Xinput directly, than you'll probably have issues. Even other Xbox controllers sound like they have issues. Original 360 controllers rarely have any (unless of course you have a 'gaming mouse' like mine that causes conflicts with particular games). Steam API tries very hard to fix this. For example, DS4 games absolutely won't work with anything in Windows unless you use Steam or DS4Windows (which always felt like a sketchy ass program (or maybe I'm thinking of the DS3 drivers for WIndows).

Works fine with my PS5 controller. I wish we could disable aim assist though, because it seems to be way too sensitive in ME1. Makes getting headshots more difficult

Since I don't own the game on Steam, I don't get the "complete package" in terms of controller settings and configs when I add it to Steam as a non-Steam game.

But yeah, I've tried that...which resulted in ME1 getting stuck in the splash screen upon selecting it from the launcher. Then it launches fine on Origin, but the controller is all over the place, so...

I kinda gave up on it now and canceled my Play Pro subscription. Was looking forward to playing Biomutant with it, but I guess I'll buy that one on Steam if it turns out to be a good game.
