USB Gaming controller dosn't work for Far Cry 3?

[Down Taunt]

I have a Gigaware USB genaric pc gaming joysrick, controller (whatever) and I have it plugged in, my pc recognizes it but whenever I enable a gamepad in Far Cry 3, nothing happens/ I still am unable to use my controller. Any suggestions? Please help.

Yeah I got this one from radio shack a while back, if I were to get a wired xbox 360 controller would it work? (I'm also still open for any other suggestions for this controller just so everyone knows)

Use the Xbox 360 Emulator than you can play with all controllers ;)

I preffer a kyeboard and mouse myself, but dude is allowed to go controller if he likes. Maybe he is rocking big picture mode on a 50 inch. Keyboard and mouse not so good for the living room. I got a dedicate HTPC in my living room, i have a bunch of game on steam i preffer a controller and a big screen for. But yeah just invest in a nice xbox controller or logitechs 25 dollar one. They do make a nice wireless pc version of the xbox controller, it's 10-15 dollars more but comes with the dongle so you can use any wirless xbox controller after. my buddy brings his over to play the few games that let us play on same screen togther (Shank). Might be able to buy dongle by itself if you already have wireless xbox controllers.

OP, all you need is x360ce.
Download it, run it and set it up. Make sure to select all the .dlls to be enabled.
Then close it. You should now have 6 files related to x360ce.

Copy and paste/ drag and drop all 6 of these files into the same folder as your far cry 3 exe.
The game will now read your gamepad as if it's a 360 controller.

I highly recommend copying + pasting those same files for every game that you plan on using a gamepad with in order to avoid problems due to most modern games being made to run just right with the 360 pad.

I use the x360ce with my PS1 controller and it works flawlessly for nearly every game.

Do you have your control setting on gamepad through the in game settings? Also, wired 360 controllers will work, though learning how to use a keyboard will make hotkeys so much easier!

So what if one person prefers a controller over m/k?! I prefer a controller for alot of games. So ♥♥♥♥♥ what? The guy wasn't asking for your opinion he was asking for help with the controller issue. Give him an answer to the question or go screw.

[Down Taunt]

Thanks guys! I got X360CE and it works like a charm with my controller :)

any game pad you may need to setup in steam big picture mode first

not all work perfectly till ya set that up .. due to STEAMS controller settings

had no problems here with an old logitech Dual action usb pad .. but i prefer KB + mouse anyway ..and any more i never play my steam copy of FC 3 Deluxe or 4 GOLD ON STEAM as i own both also as Ubi connect only games

i prefer less DRM on my games ..steam only adds more DRM to ubisoft titles

also not all game pads are supported by all games ..see the read me file for the game
a cheap generic one may not work ..try a real MS one or PS4 one

but yea you may need to configure it properly with the drivers or controller software you have , as well as WINDOWS settings

but yep if you got a steam copy check big picture mode settings first under controllers
i did try my Steam controller a few yrs ago and it seemed to work ok .. but i needed to configure it .. gave up and as i already said i like KB + mouse anyway

reminds me i have to get that steam controller out again one of these days and sell it , as i never really used it , and i heard they stopped selling them ..hmm may make a profit on it
