Controller not working

[Fabled Trickster]

Anyone having issues with the game not registering their controller? Xbox one controller here. Has worked on every FromSoft game I've played in the past.

My controller works fine other than the prompts ingame being M&KB still

If you go into the games folder in your steam common you'll see some VDF files called Steam_input, just remove the ones for controllers your not using, that should make it work and change the displayed buttons and control layout.

Just adding my 0.02 here as well:
I've been unable to get any of my controllers to work as well - Switch Pro, PS4, and PS5. I have two of each and none worked. I've tried:
-removing the .vdf files from the common folder
-enabling steam input for each controller
-opening the game in big picture

I tried another game with my controllers, and things seem to work just fine. Fortunately the M&K controls feel pretty good so far, since that's what I have no choice to play with for the moment.

Controller worked for me, and then stopped working the moment I tried changing the steam control settings for it.

Update. Been testing things with what I have and what has been mentioned.
VDF files have no impact so far
Tested with both Switch and Xbox controller with no impact
Steam input no changes.
I have verified that no other settings are impacting controller input and have tested them in other games without problem. Seems that this is exclusively atm a AC6 problem with detecting controllers. Will attempt a reintall at this point in time.

To add my two cents too.
Xbox Controller worked completely fine out of the box but the game felt very sluggish with huge deadzones where you have to push the analog like 30-40% to even register the input. Fiddled with deadzone settings in steam to no avail, disabled steam input completely in hopes that it was the culprit, and now I can’t get my controller working at all, even after reenabling everything lol.

Same here.
Tested with 360 and Series controllers, with and without Steam Input enabled. Doubt it's a problem on my end, so I'll just stick with kb+m until they fix it.

Happened to me too but rebooting my pc fixed it.

Go to settings ingame and click on input. There you can manually switch between controller and kbm. My controller would work but show pc prompts. It instantly switched to xbox prompts the second I switched from kbm to controller within the setting ingame :)
