Can't use xbox controller

[nephesh]

I have a wired xbox 360 controller and I am trying out the demo to see if I want to buy the full game, but when the cut scene is over and my character is on the screen I can't move him with the controller. I have used it to navigate the menus and it shows the "buttons" in the menus, but there is only mouse control. Whats up?

Do you use any sort of key pad? I know for some games when I have my 360 controller plugged in it picks up my Razer keypad as the controller thus the 360 pad does not work. This is fixed by opening Device Manager and right clicking on HID compliant game controller and uninstalling it.

hm, i know when i tried the demo there was a section to have the controller input set to auto (switches between controller and keyboard/mouse automatically) or controller only. Might try that? Could be a bug thats fixed in the full version too.

Yeah I can use my xbox controller for windows and/or mouse and keyboard just fine, then its just the matter of the learning curve/getting use to

really common problem popping up for alot of games.
do you have a razer nostramo gamepad / logitec / other controller device installed? thats most likley the problem if it works in other games but gets messed in this one. try what the first commenter said

HERE IS THE Controller FIX:

1. Turn on your controller.
2. Start the game, and then leave the mouse alone dont touch it!
3. Now DO NOT TOUCH THE MOUSE OR KEYBOARD until the game loads into where you can move around, so let it finish any cinematics and go through the menus.
4. Once you can move around the character with the controller you can touch the keyboard and mouse again.

now have some fun :)

thanks!! I actually didn't plug the controller in intill after the game loaded, but it worked!

You can go to game settings and change it to where the game automatically detects your control input based on whether youre typing/moving the mouse or using a controller and it automatically switches interface from m/kb prompts to Xbox prompts.

I didn't before. I just have to leave the mouse completely alone to use the controller. Thanks.
