Controller not working! Even on start/menu screen.

[JMForte]

When it asks to press start for controller or enter for keyboard, pressing start on my controller does nothing (I've tried pressing every button). I'm using a PS3 controller configured with Xbox 360 drivers. This controller works for every other steam game. Even on the settings section on the startup menu, it says that an Xbox 360 compatible controller is recognized and use game controller is checked. Any help or suggestions? Thanks!

I'm having issues too. Played 20 minutes last night no problem. Today? I get past the launcher, press start on the controller when prompted and then the menu screen appears, it doesn't accept input from the controller anymore.

Super weird that it would work at first and then not at all...

Hey guys.

I´m sorry that my responds have been abit lacking lately, apparently i´ve been unsubbed from all our forums by accident.

Is this problem still happening or did you find a fix ?

Maybe it's a Windows issue? Lately Windows often unpairs my Bluetooth gamepads and I have to pair them manually again.... Besides that, the game offers fabulous gamepad support for me - Blueooth, wired or wireless with dedicated USB receiver, all are detected and the game config detects all my axes and buttons.

Perhaps turning off Steam controller support could help. Sometimes the Steam controller mapper does strange things, sometimes my gamepads were remapped even for different, non-Steam games and apps: I couldn't play non-Steam games, the gamepad emitted strange keyboard keystrokes even in the Windows UI.

Note: I know this thread is old, but the issue is still very much relevant.

Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. (Unplug the peripheral and connect again.) In my case, my analog triggers were always detected as digital buttons. My pad can connect in three ways: cable, Bluetooth and through its dedicated wireless dongle. On Linux the analog triggers are properly detected, but on Windows not. No matter how I connected the pad, Windows always treated my analog triggers as digital buttons. Installing the VC++ Redist. fixed that immediately. Keep that in mind, because I wouldn't have guessed if not for coincidence.

I’m having this exact problem. Recognizes my controllers in config but not ingame. I’ll try the Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable suggestion and see if it fixes it

I got it working. I just restarted my system and set controls to default and it worked.
