Xbox One controller Impulse trigger

[Sevaar]

I've read somewhere this game supports the impulse triggers on the Xbox one controller (the vibration on the triggers) however I've yet to feel them activate. I can't find an option to turn it on either.

Can someone confirm this title has impulse trigger support?

I have about 12hrs into the game on the newest wireless controller and I didnt even know the controllers had this feature. I do not believe mad max has it but i will pay attention next session and report back.

Thanks for your reply. It's supposed to have impulse trigger support according to: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_Xbox_One_impulse_triggers

I am quite good at troubleshooting(been doing it for about 25+years) and I just can not seem to get any sort of feed back from the triggers. I have both the newest series X-carbon black controller and a regular xbox one S controller. tired wired and wireless. messed with the steam controller settings and big picture. even tried MCC from the list of games. the only thing i can conclude is that there is some sort of firmware update for the controllers i am missing

on the MS store there is a free app called Game Controller Tester. It has an impulse trigger test and both of my controllers have working impulse feedback but I have never ever had them active in any game from any store including MS. i am downloading forza horizon to test out if they are activated in that game from the MS store now. I will make a post if i find a way to get it to work in the games that say they should! cheers so it looks like the list of games is for games from the MS store only. for it to work the game has to be from the MS store.... there is a dll hack i found(about 2 years old)to get it to work outside the MS store but i just dont have the time or patience to mess around with it right now. I might work on getting it to work later maybe. if interested https://www.reddit.com/r/PCRedDead/comments/dzznzr/how_to_activate_the_impulse_triggers_in_rdr2/ will work in other games too

Nice find! However i am not sure why they don't support it on steam more. Shadow of the tomb raider, and Grid 2019 definitely support it on steam, so it is not a microsoft store exclusive thing.

Thanks Swordgrin. It's not a big issue if the impulse triggers won't work. I would've been nice though.

if the dll thing works well and is not to hard/intricate to set up I will post here because after using the test program the trigger impulse is actually pretty cool and yes ive heard that the developer has to specifically build thier game to function outside the MS store with this feature and is quite a hassle to do so, thats why so few games have it outside MS. hopes to have them switch it from UWP to Xinput officially then we will have it in most games be default or be able to add it dynamically to what ever game we want

steam update feb. 5th. found this in the notes :Support for trigger rumble in games using Windows.Gaming.Input API:

[Swordgrin]

just tried the game after the update and so far the impulse triggers are not working in this game.....

@Swordgrin, I'll give it a check. Thanks for looking into this for everyone.

Don't quote me on this. but away back when Prey was released on the steam there was an update that knocked out force feedback and even the XBox controller due to a removal from Microsoft of an app or .dll
