Xbox One controller not working

[Irons]

Was working the other day but now won't work at all. Character just runs around and when you go to change it on the options screen it keeps defaulting to Keyboard and Mouse. Anyone have a solution to this?

I had an issue with this, but it seemed to have disappeared after I paused the game, randomly pressed a bunch of keys and clicked my mouse buttons. Eventually it just went away and never came back. I am assuming the game thought something was being pressed on my KB or M and I was able to toggle(?) it off.

Hope this helps. My controller is working fine now.

My XOne controller was doing some weird stuff not only in Dragon's Dogma but in other games as well, so I just switched to my PS4 controller and everything works like a charm.

XOne & X360 controllers seem to have really short lives. I had 2 X360 controllers in the past 7 months and both started having issues with terribly loose analog sticks, pressing Y was pressing A at the same time etc.

On contrary my PS3 controllers are both well over 7yrs old and are in perfect working condition.

Don't get me wrong, I actually really liked XOne controller (spend over 200hrs using it in Witcher 3) but it starts acting funny as of recently.

I'd say just buy a PS3 or PS4 controller. They last much longer and emulate as 360 controller without any issues ;).

I have his happen sometimes, usually pressing a WASD key on the KB fixes it, but one time I had to restart my PC. I recently updated my KB drivers (Merc Stealth) and it seems to have stopped for now. And it's not a controller issue, because even if I pulled the battery out of my 360 controller, it still happened.

Thanks for the info. I might have to look into my drivers as well.

Thanks for that. Managed to get it working yesterday by just exiting Steam and then going back in. Today I had to re-start my computer and then it worked so I'm assuming plugging a controller in once Steam is running is the issue.

I usually keep my controller plugged in all the time, but I did have it disconnect after I yanked on the cord. This happened to coincide with my problems in Dragon's Dogma, so I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks.
