FIXED: Wii U Pro Controller not working?

[rahat]

I've figured out how to get it working

1. While WiinUSoft is running but DS3 is closed, open up Device Manager (windows search for "device manager" or Win+R and type "devmgmt.msc")
2. Under Human Interface Devices, look for entries named HID-compliant game controller
3. You want to disable the one that corresponds to your wii u pro controller (and not the emulated controller). Right click and choose "Disable" to disable them. You'll know you hit the right one when WiinUSoft crashes.
4. Now start DS3. Once it's loaded, reenable the HID-compliant game controller you disabled (right click, choose "Enable"). Then start WiinUSoft again. DS3 should recognize your controller again.

Not sure if you have to do this everytime but it worked for me.

Original fix derived from this guide for the first Dark Souls: https://steamcommunity.com/app/211420/discussions/0/611696927916689709/


I'm trying to use my Wii U Pro Controller with Dark Souls 3 using WiinUSoft, and it's not responding at all in the game. I've used this for every other game and steam big picture and it works fine. (WiinUSoft emulates a 360 controller, so it should work.)

I heard that DS3 doesn't like having multiple controllers. My windows 10 devices window shows a couple of other controllers i assume refer to the original controller along with the emulated 360 one. I can't remove those as they're necessary to make the controller work.

Has anyone figured out how to get their wii u controllers working with DS3?

Someone has reported with the WiinUSoft Hot fix 1b that it works with Dark Souls and the built in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. I haven't tried it but he says it's working.
