Xbox One Controller Windows 10 Fix

Took me a while to find this so thought I'd share as I've been able to finally enjoy Absolute Drift!

Follw These Steps:

Open Device Manager
Right Click "Xbox One Controller"
Select Update Driver Software
Browse on my PC
Let me pick from a list
"Microsoft Xbox One Controller"

The "Xbox One Controller" driver doesn't work, but the "Microsoft Xbox One Controller" does.

This fixed it for me instantly!

Anyone have a fix for this using the wireless adapter? At first, I just thought this was how this game controlled until I tried it on keyboard. I've updated drivers for the adapter. There were no driver updates available for the controller.

I have to revert to an older "Xbox Gaming Device" driver. Version 6.2.11059.0 (5/26/14). Only driver i've gotten to consistently work while retaining full functionality in other games. I'm using a wired connection and not the wireless adapter. I have to manually revert the driver anytime Windows 10 updates it.

For those with the XB1 controller and the Microsoft Xbox One Controller driver not showing under device manager, you can grab the drivers from here:

An earlier post had a link to the official Microsoft website but I could not find the download for the drivers for manual installation.

BTW Dev, Beta version did not fix this issue. : )

Did you restart Steam to make sure you're running the latest beta? Maybe send me your output log so I can take a look. http://steamcommunity.com/app/320140/discussions/0/611701360839562983/

The XBone wireless adapter has been tested on Windows 10 with the beta version of this game.

Hey Dev. The game wont even open after switching to Beta. Any fix for it?

Edit: Nevermind. I got it started...issue is still there. Even though the main menu does mention to come to these forums to fix the issue. Still not fixed though.
