What's with the controller support?

[DuX1112]

I hear it's not working? is this True?

[Vurado88]

Wow no controller support no buy

[Captain Blud]

It works if you go into big picture options and then just disable steam controller support. For some reason this lets me use my xbox pad

Please start the game via Big Picture. Even my Switch Controller works via this way.

[Juuzou]

Works fine for me via bluetooth

Does the Steam Controller work?

[Chili Dogs]

It's honestly really annoying, I hate big picture mode and do not want to have to launch that just to launch UPlay just to launch Immortals, that's ridiculous when every other controller supported game just works.

I booted up the game the first time and am greeted with keyboard controls for my Xbox controller, fair enough, whatever, but the no menu navigation and lack of inputs working right is atrocious, I can't even use my abilities because the game doesn't register me pressing the buttons. I can move around and basic attack just fine though. Makes perfect sense... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't need to start game on big picture, On game page Right of screen next to discussion their is controller setting/Layout click that and select xbox

It has controller support but it's funky especially when interacting with the pointer on menus. Instead of highlighting available options from up to down like would on a controller. Have to manually move the mouse pointer with analog stick. Which makes it very difficult to select anything. When the pointer zips across the screen with any slight touch of the analog stick.

For some reason Steam defaults the controller configuration to use KB+Mouse emulation.You can either switch it to the gamepad configuration, or disable Steam's controller config for this game entirely.

You don't need to use big picture, just use it once, uncheck all the boxes in the controller section and you should be good to go. It worked for me, anyhow. And I'm actually surprised how fun I'm finding this game.

Steams fault, I remember more then just a few games where the steam controller settings caused trouble. Sometimes you need it enabled sometimes disabled.

Somehow I miss the second controller settings window which contained the options for the steam controller and it's drivers. It seems that this one is always on now.

*Anyway disabling steam controller support for your prefered controller does the trick here. **Steam settings -> General controller settings -> uncheck your prefered controllers. ***Also I was only able to make my ps4 or pro controller work after I connected an xbox controller first.

Where to find this? I see no such option.

PS I love Big Picture and I love my Steam Controller but just making sure. I have it on Uplay and I have played it with both the Xbox Controller and the Steam Controller (although a bit wonky) so I'm not sure why there are problems now.

What? That is probably a Steam controller system conflict causing that. I have the game on Ubisoft Connect, bought from Epic, and using my Xbox One controller it isn't like that at all, there is no mouse pointer in the menus at all, it works exactly as you would expect controller controls to work.

Yeah it's not even reading my controller in game. All the options are faded and inaccessible.

This is the correct answer. Ubisoft could've done this themselves, but we have to figure it out instead.
