Xbox One Controller not working? -FIXED-

[⸸ TTV.TormentPlays ⸸]

Hi all,

ive recently gotten a completely new PC and ive been having issues with the batman arkham series. None of the batman games work with my controller... infact the arkham knight game thinks that i have a playstation 4 controller connected, ive contacted WB support but they are useless. All my other games on this PC work just fine with the controller its just the batman games that dont work. Bare in mind all my games are installed on an external hard drive. its just to save me time from installing all my games again when i change PCs. It used to work on my previous PC i was able to play all batman games with my xone controller but for some reason, on this PC batman arkham series does not allow me to play with controller...

and i know there have been previous discussions about this, but some of them are irrelevant and the others ive already tried.

Any help?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

after looking at my device manger this is what fixed it for me so if you are struggling too, here it is.

1) Open device manger
2) look for Human Interface Devices
3) Look for HID-Compliant Game controller
4) right click it, and disable it.
5) FIXED.

Turns out when this driver was enabled, the batman games would prioritise this driver over the xbox one wireless driver, thus making it not work, but upon disabling it, it will prioritise the xbox one wireless driver and work!!

hope i helped!

PS. Steam gifts are welcome :) <3

UPDATE 2.0:

it appears this fix that worked for me no longer seems to work for anyone else and causes BSOD. People have commented methods that worked for them so just read through the replies below. Again, the method i mentioned above is what worked for me at the time. It has NEVER caused me BSOD. maybe windows updates changed it and it now causes BSOD but either way use my method at your own risk. Read peoples replies about how they fixed it and maybe it can work for you too.

if you are using Win 10 then you need to get the anniversary update...the Xbox controller issue was fixed in that.

well...maybe install one of the Arkham games to the hard drive and see if it makes a difference.
Otherwise I'm at a loss.

nah that wont work since it worked before on my external, but thanks anyway

does the MICROSOFT Xbox controller driver show up in your device manage....seems there is a difference in Xbox controller and the microsoft Xbox controller(seems to me one or the other should get it working in the Arkham games)...some people have to switch between drivers to get certain games working...also did you try plugging into different USB ports...some report using the back port instead of the front ones work. You don't have any other controllers plugged in do you? If you do unplug the unneeded one.

there is no microsoft xbox controller, just xbox controller ive tried back ports and other ports and no i do not have other controllers plugged in, ive only ever used the xbox one controllers

Ok...well from what I've read it's the MICROSOFT Xbox one controller driver you need to install.
see if this helps:

I did that and my PC started to crash every time i turn on my controller (Xbox Series).
Do not try. U will end up getting blue screen of death in windows every time u turn on your wireless controller.
Only way to fix it is to delete your bluetooth controller and add a new one in windows.

The problem with my game is that it always recognize my controller as PS4 and i cant use it in this game.
But xbox360 gamepad works like a a charm.

thanks. It really helps

[Snazzyy]

Don’t follow these instructions, lead to a blue screen of death issue with no instructions online on how to fix.

I am currently running a restore point on my pc in hope this resolves the issue.

[Blockenstein]

I sure wish I had read the whole post before trying OP's 'fix'. I had to restore from a backup to fix the BSOD. In short:

DO NOT TRY THIS. IT WILL ACTIVELY BREAK YOUR PC.

I am not sure why its causing your PC's to crash. Maybe you're disabling something else. It's hard to believe that disabling a game controller is causing your PC's to BSOD. Nevertheless, my method is what personally worked for me. I wouldn't of made my method public if all it did was cause me BSOD.

This 100% caused BSOD. Thanks dude.

[CyclopianDark]

Okay, I know this post is old, but I've done a couple of things...

First, I tried the fix from OP and got BSOD any time the controller attached after that. I ran into the same problem that others had where they thought they would have to hit a retore point or reinstall their driver.

I found a work around!

Go into Device Manager and under View select "Show Hidden Devices."

This should show the HID-Compliant Game Controller in the list now.

Right click and select properties.

Click on the Driver Tab.

You should see the option for "Enable Driver."

It MIGHT be grayed out, but don't worry.

Power on your controller. Once it connects you have a few seconds before the BSOD occurs. In those few seconds, you 'll see the Grayed out Enable Button become live. Click it.

All should be as it was without having to do a restore point restore or backup restore.

So i've had this Problem too, nothing worked until today.
If have the game on epicgames, and it worked after I added and launched it via Steam.
ps. decided to write this only cause someone else commented on this 5 year old thread 9 hours ago
