Controller No Input - Can't play game.

[Andy^^]

The keyboard controls aren't great and you can't use a mouse so I need a controller. I'm using a DualShock 4 (PS4 Controller) and a piece of software called SCP Server that tricks your PC into thinking a DS4 controller is an Xbox 360 controller.

SCP Server - https://gyazo.com/e9c9f53555ca3fba12a2b4186d8ac93e
Devices & Printers - https://gyazo.com/97022ff5c009521c5432047be2d2cad4

When I open the game, I can skip the opening cutscenes by pressing 'Options' (Start) on my DS4, at which point the game will take one of two routes; either it will ask me to select an input device and I'll get this problem:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=915621249

Where it recognises the device but will not let me input any controls, or route 2; it will allow me to navigate the menu, I'll load my save and once I'm in-game I am able to move using the analog sticks, but as soon as I press a button it will sign in Player 2, I will still be able to use all of my controls on Player 1 with the DS4 (even the buttons that signed in Player 2) but Player 2 will have no controls bound at all and cannot move, if I open the menu to make P2 drop out then there will be no drop out option, but instead, P1 will now have a drop out option.

Oddly enough, there is a third route that very rarely happens, which is that once out of the 20 - 30 times I have loaded the game, the game just recognised the DS4 as an X360 controller and let me play the game without signing in P2, which I imagine is what's supposed to happen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know anything about SCP Server, so I can't help you with that, and I haven't tried to use a PS4 controller on a PC, but there's a program named x360ce that you might want to try. I don't really know much about it. It's just something that I've seen mentioned. I don't know if it even works with this game, but if you can't get SCP Server to work, you could give x360ce a try.

I've tried using another program, DS4 Windows and have had the exact same problem so I doubt it's related to the controller and related software, I'm pretty sure it's the game.

Just out of interest, since you use mouse & keyboard, what controls have you been using?

Actually, I did use a controller. It was just one that was 360-compatible.

UPDATE: To anyone finding this in the future due to a similar problem.

I fixed it by restoring my PC (due to a number of factors, not just this) and it's completely fixed now. If you're really at a loss, maybe try it.

Interesting. Maybe there was something wrong with your Windows files. IAC, I'm glad it's working now.

I had a lot of troubles that weekend. Arkham Asylum wouldn't run, Lego Batman wouldn't work with my DS4. I couldn't update drivers. NVIDIA Control Panel wouldn't open. My monitor was turning itself off due to a loss of signal from my PC and wouldn't turn back on unless I rebooted. I know for a fact that my GPU uninstalled, but there may have been other problems.

Luckily the reset fixed all of the problems I've had.

Sounds like your computer was haunted. :-) At least it seems to have been a software problem and not hardware.

I know this forum is about a year old now, but i am having the same issue,
I am using a DS4 controller with DS4Tool to connect it to my computer. When ever I open the game I can use my controller to skip the openning cut scene then it asks me to imput contols which from there it becomes unresponsive when I try to imput them. And help would be greatly appreciated.

To fix issue with external controller just delete dat and txt file from

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman

worked for me

Don't use a PS4 controller. Later Dual Shock is filth.

Use a PS2 controller. Plus Assembly programs used for the Controller and hardware of your PC often are changed over the years, so a game from this era wouldn't exactly operate the same on a modern controller.

While it is true that Hardware Programming is a really untouched part in the modern Western world, it doesn't mean that they won't still have incompatibility issues.

i know this post is dead but has anyone found a solution?

You could see if any of the suggestions in the topic below help. One person said that they got a controller (they didn't say which one) to work when they set it up in Steam. That might be a good place to start.
