Controller Problems

[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]

So I bought this game and I tried playing it with a PS4 controloler game the same way I play my other controller games, but it didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions? Btw:I was using a ps4 controller connected using a usb cable and in big picture mode

You are using PS4 controller on a PC? Why? Mouse and keyboard work very good with Life is Strange, just unplug the controller and use Mouse and Keyboard, problem solved.

try to disconnect the controller after launching the game and then reconnect the usb cable ,when i had problems i always do like that and it works :) (i have a kind of xbox360 controller ,it's not the official one ,sometimes just stops to work on pc ,i have to unplug and plug )

Ok thanks I'll try it. Also, I'm using a PS4 controller because I prefer the controls with it. That's all.

Try forcing the game to think you plugged in a 360 controller:

Even in 2015 a lot of games only support the 360 controller (fortunately the Xbone controller is recognized as a 360 controller by older games). Native PS4 controller support has started popping up in games like Arkham Knight but still isn't as widespread as I'd like.

I am having the same issues with my Xbox 1 controller. I keep unplugging it in and unplugging it when the problem occurs but it is to frequant for me to not take notice. It takes me out the game to a point I dont want to plat anymore.

That's true, but why even bother commenting on something from September? Doesn't make much sense to me

I know this is an old post but people can still comment on it so why not. So 'if' someone is still looking for a solution 'on this post' i'll give one.
I even use a PS3 controller and it works fine!
For those still wondering i used "xinput wrapper" (google it) and PS3 and PS4 controllers will work as Xbox controllers (It's emulation so it is totally different as what MotionJoy does).

Thanks I'll give it a try.

I think the better question is why are you replying to a post that was made two years ago just for the purpose of insulting someone. It's not as if you contributed an alternate helpful suggestion.

Since this topic was created Steam has now patched in Dual Shock 4 support through Big Picture mode. You did also need to be in the Steam Beta but that may no longer be a requirement. Although I wouldn't always expect the button prompts to look like the Sony face buttons.

When the game starts it says that the game is better using a controller

Wow! Someone digs up an old thread and then the insults start? Yeah Life is Strange!
