Why is everything in Xbox Controller controls???
It seems every time i launch chivalry they ♥♥♥♥ with my graphics, configuration and customization. This time the game is in xbox controller controls (such as press (A) and LB and RB to switch, I can not even see my mouse cursor. I have never used a controller ever on my pc and i dont know why it is set this. I managed to find my way to configuration but there is no option for controller set up.

How do i change this?????

unplug your controller...

" I have never used a controller ever on my pc", its in the first post
Have you tried uninstalling the game then reinstalling it?
What exactly do you have plugged into your PC?

Verifying the game cache is essentially a reinstall without having to reinstall btw.

i dont have anything plugged in
So you don't have a mouse or keyboard plugged in. Maybe a USB headset.

I want to know what exactly is plugged into your machine. Everything USB.

Simply unplug every device you have plugged in, except for keyboard and mouse. I have a Logitech Joystick and that is what was glitching it out.

Yes, if you got a joystick unplug it and it will work

I think he may have figured it out by now. Been a year.

Full controller support has been out since late 2014.

It works by detecting input from a controller/gamepad, to where all controls are instantly switch to controller binds. As soon as you hit a key or move your mouse, all controls instantly switch back to keyboard and mouse binds. It's all done automatically.

You are claiming, "I have never used a controller ever on my pc and i dont know why it is set this." ... in order for the game to switch to "controller/gamepad mode" you have some sort of software, somwhere on your PC that loads and runs when you start it, that is "emulating" gamepad controller buttons.

Did you load 3rd party keyboard software when you plugged in your new keyboard ?

Did you load 3rd party Headphones software when you added wireless or wired headphones ?

(Win 7)

Go to: Start, Administrative Tools, System configuration, Startup(tab) ... What programs do you see there with checkmarks in the box that might be related to controller/gamepad or emulation software.

Go to: Right click on your toolbar and select, Start Task Manager ,select Applications. What programs are running there (should only be Steam as you read this).

Now select Processes and select the check mark at the lower left (if not already selected) Show processes from all users ... are there any .exe files names here that could be associated with any sort of add-on software you may have installed that might alter the way mouse and keyboard work, as in gamepad button emulation software (which is weird, unless some game you played at one time, only recognizes gamepad inputs)

This is the first time i have ever heard of your situation.

There is an answer by the developers in the "Frequently Asked Questions" which are fixed on the top of the discussions:


"How to disable joysticks/gamepads?

If you have issues that the game is detecting a gamepad while you don't want to use it you can disabling it by doing the following:

Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Chivalry Medieval Warfare\UDKGame\Config\UDKEngine.ini

Find "AllowJoystickInput=1" under "[WinDrv.WindowsClient]" and set it to 0.

You can also do this with Deadliest Warrior.
