Controller not working

[Vampirilor]

I have a wired Xbox One controller and a DS4 controller and neither of these controllers are recognized by the game? As soon as i launch the game and get to the part with the ocean the game stops and displays "please connect a controller" no matter what i do it never recognizes it. My controllers have worked for every other game i have ever played. any fixes? thank you

That sounds odd, are you sure Steam Input is enabled when you're using your DS4?

[Vampirilor]

yes it is i made sure to check, ive seen several discussions with people having same issue but some said wired xbox works. but for me the game doesnt recognize either one even though i can play games like Devil May Cry just fine with both

Hello, were you able to find a solution to this problem?

I also have the same problem and still haven't found anything.

I also have the exact same problem and it happened after I've played it for more than 200 hours. Now, both my PS4 and XBox controller aren't recognized. Disabling or enabling Steam input doesn't help.

On the other hand, I also recently had some controller problems on other games, Disgaea 5 and 7, even though I was able to play D5 for hundred of hours just fine. I wonder if a recent Steam or Windows update could be the cause.

I know it doesn't make sense for some people but I really wish they implemented keyboard and mouse controls for these games. Check to make sure there's no other controllers plugged in because I had a problem like yours when there's two controllers. Possibly reset the DS4\ reconnect the Xbox one to a different port.... Don't plug in both, try one at a time reboot each time you try one. I have a feeling the game is confused as to what's plugged in.

Have you fixed that problem?

Nope. In the meantime, I changed PC, so now everything's fine. I had a theory about how maybe the game mistook the Xbox controller for a PS4 one and used the PS's keybindings on the Xbox one, but that's a just theory. It's not the craziest thing that happened to me with those things though.

Back in 2000 and something, the rumble function on the Xbox 360 controller would make my pc litterally froze, while the sound, or rather the note playing at that time would keep playing indefinitely in the background, and I had to unplug it each time it happened. It occured with multiple games, like Kingdoms of Amalur, Castle Crashers or Sine Mora and it took me maybe 2 or 3 years to understood it was all because of that damn rumble function.
