see http://steamcommunity.com/app/298110/discussions/0/135508489635056575/

if none of that helps play...with a KB + mouse

and no the x box ome via bluetooth may not work as that came out AFTER the game shipped

and your OS counts as well as your drivers ..will it work ..dunno ?

my old logtech game pad works fine . but i would choose not to use a game pad for an FPS game

Ever find a bluetooth fix for this? Really weird, like b is down,x is right or some bs. Was going to play this while away on laptop and wireless xbone controller but guess not.

i do remeber a few posts back in the day saying the game only OFFICIALLY supported the wired controllers ..

they did include the supported ones in FC primal .. but never for FC 4 read me files
i think FC 4 used an older less tested version of the same engine

here is what the read me says for FC primal

Supported gamepads:

Microsoft Xbox One Controller
DUALSHOCK® 4 Controller
XInput gamepads

Supported DirectInput gamepads:

Thrustmaster Dual Trigger 3-in-1 V.2
Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Analog 3 Gamepad
Thrustmaster Dual Analog 4 v.1
Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3 Gamepad
Thrustmaster T-Mini 2-in-1 Rumble Force
Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510
Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710
Logitech Dual Action
Saitek P880 Dual Analog
Acme GA-02 USB
SPEEDLINK STRIKE SL-6535-SBK-01
SPEEDLINK Torid Gamepad Wireless


DirectInput gamepads outside of the list above are NOT officially supported.

vs supported game pads for FC 4


Supported gamepads: Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller, Microsoft Xbox One Controller, Sony Playstation 4 Controller

So they do mention the xbone controller, guess it just needs a. ** beside it noting only when connected wired. Maybe i can find a lil 3ft cable that i can pack with me.

I have to assume the list cited doesn't distinguish between XBox One and XBox One-S Controllers...the One-S ones are the only ones (besides OP's elite and I could argue it's a "one-s" controller too) with native wireless capability via bluetooth. This is an infuriating issue. I'm trying to figure out if I can use something like Pinnacle Game Profiler to make it work. Carpal tunnel makes keyboards and mouse a real issue for me to use.

we can only hope in the next windows 10 update this will be fixed. but iv spent hours and hours trying to get it working. iv given up and bought the wireless adapter.

I used to play this with my wireless X360 Chrome controller with 0 issues.

I just re-installed it tonight, as I now have one of those customized 90$ X1 controllers from designlab... and it won't work. Same issue, the buttons are the d-pad, and the bumpers are start/select...

I was all stoked to play through this again, but what a headache. I spent the last 45 ****ing minutes trying to google the answer, and FINALLY found this...

Guess I have to dig out the long-cord wireless dongle adapter, and my old 360 controller just to play THIS game out the hundreds that work with my new one...

So idk if anyone has solved this after all this time but oh well. I had this problem recently also. I'm using standard bluetooth Xbox one wireless with a bluetooth adapter since my pc doesn't have it, sure it'll be the same with xbox adapter too.
1. Open steam
2. Go to settings
3. Click on controller, then click general controller settings
4. Tick xbox configuration support and also tick generic gamepad configuration support
5. Connect wireless controller, go to your games and click Far Cry 4
6. To the right hand side of steam games list, under links, click on controller configuration(won't show if controller isn't connected first)
7. Click browse configs and choose CONTROLLER ROSHO then click apply configuration. GOOD TO GO

This sovled the black load, the npc bug, and the interaction bug.

I owe you a drink!

No problem, I found this on a random forum and wanted to share it. Such a random thing to do, I never even knew there was a controller option in steam to be honest lol
