controller vibration problem

[petitponey28]

I have a problem with my controller before I had vibrations and I no longer have them. It's an Xbox Series controller. Could someone help me?

I tried that doesn't work either. I even reinstalled the game and I have the vibrations at the beginning but they go away like that after 2 minutes

Maybe you can try the "Xbox Accessories" app that you can download from Microsoft Store and do something with the vibration or firmware.

in fact I found I have to let my controller plug in because in bluetooth they are no longer there whereas by cable they are there

Glad you worked it around, but technically this is not solved.

In my case, my PS4 and PS5 controllers both work fine with vibration, wired or wireless.

You may also try this if you feel there's still a need:

SOLVED!

After a lot of experimenting, I discovered the solution to this issue.

Vibration DOES work with the Xbox One S controller over Bluetooth! I have seen false reports by people that Microsoft has said it doesn't. That is simply incorrect. It does work.

Here is what is happening: sometimes when you connect and disconnect controllers, Windows will get confused about which to set as the PREFERRED game device. That word, PREFERRED, is the key. If the wireless controller is not marked as the preferred device, then the control inputs will still work, but vibration data will not be sent to the device.

So, how to fix it? Luckily, it's VERY EASY.

1) Go the Game Controllers window via Control Panel.

2) Click on your controller ("Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device").

3) Click on "Advanced" below the list of controllers.

4) Select "Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device" as the preferred device.

Now, you should have full vibration working in Windows games while playing over Bluetooth.

Hi guys,

I found the solution with my Sony official PS4 controller have been fixed the vibration feedback is working in any games.

You need to:
1) Go to 'Steam menu' at the top of the left taskbar,

2) select 'Settings'

3) select 'Account'

4) Click 'CHANGE' and select 'NONE opt out of all beta programs' then click ok before restart.

5) After restart, then back to your Steam online account and ready to play with your games in the library will work.

Please note: If you changed to 'Steam Betas Update' that mean your PS4 controller with vibration feedback won't work that what I did.

Let me know if work or not.
