How to install GameInput redistributable (it missing is the reason controller doesn't work):

1. Visit the NuGet page for GameInput: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.GameInput
2. Click on Open in NuGet Package Explorer on the right-hand side of the page.
3. The top of the next page has a "Contents" folder. Click on "redist" in the "Contents" folder.
4. Double click on GameInputRedist.msi. This will download the file.
5. Run GameInputRedist.msi. It'll finish installing in 2-3 seconds.

You don't even have to reboot.

The redistributable is insufficient. A service must also be running.

Servus,

Ich habe auch das Problem das mein One Controller nicht mehr funktioniert in dem Spiel (nur in Stalker 2) und mein ps 5 Controller über ds4 auch nicht. Von steam die Controller Unterstützung habe ich aus gestellt und das hat auch wunderbar alles geklappt vor den letzten update jetzt wird nichts mehr erkannt! Weiß jemand weiter?

Special K can fix the problem for your PlayStation 5 controller and give you Adaptive Triggers.

Why DS4Windows/your Xbox One controller do not work, I do not know. I'd just place all the blame on Valve as usual though for anything input-related :)

Ds4 benutze ich nicht für den Windows One Controller. Ds4 benutze ich nur bei stalker 2 für meinen ps 5 Controller. Und Nexus Controller Mods hab ich auch probiert hat leider nix gebracht. Ich suche keinen schuldigen ich suche eine Lösung für das Problem

[Kaldaien]

You have some software on your system blocking input to the game if Special K does not work.

The only thing that could possibly prevent even your Xbox controller from working would be HIDHide, which is part of DS4Windows. GameInput uses a separate service that's not even running code inside the game process.

Stop DS4Windows and any driver that it ships with, if input still doesn't work with Special K on your DualSense controller, then it's something else. SK doesn't require DS4Windows.

The funny part is Xbox controller input doesn't even work. You would except a game meant for consoles would be capable of supporting controllers

Install the GameInput runtime from WinGDK, or use GameInput2XInput.
If you had a DualSense controller, you could also use Special K, it can natively translate PlayStation controllers to GameInput, including adaptive triggers.
