GOG Witcher 3 + Bluetooth Xbox One Controller not working right at all. Help!!

[Rocket]

Hi all,

I have a bluetooth Xbox One Controller and it works great with Steam games. I have no issue with it, Steam Link detects it natively, and the games run with it as you'd expect.

Unfortunately Witcher 3 GOG version, when added as a Non-Steam Game shortcut, I launch the shortcut and immediately I notice that when the Cutscenes show up and Skip appears in the lower right corner, it shows "Space" instead of "X", which means the controller isn't detected.

I use my keyboard to skip to the title screen. The D-pad and buttons work, but the mouse cursor appears and the Thumb stick controls the cursor.

What I'm getting at here is it's not functioning as an Xbox controller and I can't get it to work.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm really bummed and I feel like there has to be a way to get it work without buying the Steam version.

I've researched this on the internet, and the only suggestion I see is to disable the GOG overlay. But I don't think I even have GOG Galaxy installed (or whatever the overlay is called), so I don't think there's anything to disable.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I'm not sure what else to do.

Witcher 3 is installed, it runs fine over Steam Link, but the controller isn't fully operational, and certainly XInput doesn't seem to be turning on with the Xbox One Bluetooth controller.

Any ideas? I'm at wits end :(

Also, I downloaded Xbox Accessories off the Windows 10 Store, connected the controller as USB to my PC, and there were no firmware updates for the controller. In other words, it was updated as far as it can go.

I then re-linked the Xbox One Bluetooth controller to the Steam Link, and obviously it is still working the same way with GOG Witcher 3 (i.e. - not correctly, not fully, and not as an XInput device).

Fixed!

First part of answer is here:

Specifically this part:
In Steam Link Big Picture mode with the controller on and connected to the Steam Link Go to "Settings>Controller>General Controller Settings. Then register the controller. I also selected Xbox Configuration Support but that doesn't seem to matter as much."

After that, what's missing from here is you go to the shortcut but don't launch it yet. Go to Manage Shortcut, then Controller or Controller settings, then change it to a template for Gamepad. I forget the exact menus here, but from beginning to end this basically takes the Xbox One bluetooth connected Steam Link controller and registers it to Steam Link Big Picture Mode, then you manage the shortcut then controller and set the template to Gamepad to make it read the registered controller as a Gamepad with XInput.

It works exactly as it should at this point with no issue whatsoever.

Although this post is very old I hope this will help others as it did help me as well.

What fixed it for me was a rather simple solution:

Run Steam as Administrator

Lo and behold: controller pops up as expected.
