Controller Issues, Please read the description before skipping

[LycorisBnuy]

I am using an officially licensed Xbox 360 controller
Windows 10
There is nothing wrong with my controller
I have tried using X360ce
I have tried using just about every trick in the book, reinstalling drivers/different input programs/etc
The buttons are mismapped, ie start is left bumper, Y is X, things like that
The game also stops responding when attempting to use the controller
I am not sure how this can be fixed or if it's even possible
I know the controller used to work on this game, and it works perfectly fine on every other game in my library
I even tried my PS4 controller and other generic Xbox controller, all of them do the exact same things
Any help at this point would be much appreciated

Maybe you have to turn on/off the steam controller input for this game. You can do this by going to your library, right-clicking the game and then go to properties.
The steam overlay can also cause different issues with this game, so you could try turning that off.

well i used a ps3 controller + SCP server. i tink SCP server also works for PS4 controllers.

I have attempted this as well, and I get the same results

I think steam's controller config should help out here, so enable only the Xbox and generic gamepad support options in Steam's controller configuration window.
Check if the game's controller options is not set to forced off in steam's big picture mode library. if it is set to forced off, then change it to Global option.
You can access this particular controller option setting by opening Steam in big picture mode and navigating to the game in the big picture library and select Manage game.

Also make sure the controller configuration that you are using is not having those weird button mappings and remap the buttons if they are mapped that way.

Next there should be a DirectInput.ini file generated by the game next to the LRFF13.exe file. delete the DirectInput file first and then remove the x360ce program and the dll files it has generated in that folder. also remove and close any of the input programs that you have installed on your PC before, to get your controller working.

Finally make sure that next to LRFF13.exe file, there should only be a bink2w32.dll, a steam_api.dll and a folder called weiss_data.

I will reattempt this method, though I have already tried this (including getting rid of that atrocious directinput.ini)
I have tried remapping my controller within Steam Big Picture Mode just to ensure it didn't map incorrectly automatically as well.
This is truly a baffling issue, but I appreciate the help.

So, in doing this, the game doesn't recognize my controller input at all. Steam says its plugged in, i can still use the overlay button, but no other input is recognized at all.

Does your controller work on other games outside Steam library without requiring you to do any setup or open an software ?
Usually Xinput based controllers should work without any issues and I think the 360 controller of yours should also be an Xinput based one.

Thts weird. setting up the controller through steam big picture mode should have worked. Are there other games in your steam library which are able to take input from your controller when its setup like this or is it just this game that refuses to take input ?

It is just this one, i have found a workaround however.
using a custom config someone made of the keyboard mappings for a ps4 controller, which for some reason is working perfectly.
thank you for helping ^-^
