Xbox One Controller not working in game

[zapages]

Hi Everyone,

My wireless Xbox One Controller just doesn't work with the game. It works on the title screen then it just doesn't work in the game ie. when you have to select single player or multiplayer.

I have tried almost everything from trying in big screen mode, selecting playstation, xbox, xbox one extend, generic controller options, etc in the steam options.

Unfortunately nothing seems to work. :(

Any advice from any one here and developers as to why the my controller doesn't work.

Side note, my controller works for all of my other steam games.

Thank you in advance.

None of my controllers have ever worked in this game in Windows - Series X, Xbone, 360, Dualshock 4. They work on the very first title screen, then as soon as I'm in the menu only the shoulder buttons will work. Nothing works in a race.

I'm not trying to be *that guy*, but I know controllers can work in the game because I recently revisited it on Linux and all my controllers work perfectly.

That is very interesting! My windows version of the wired Xbox 360 controller used to work fine with the game and then there was an update with the game that made it stop working for some odd reason. So I got a Xbox Series X controller and now none of my controllers work. :( So it is very sad and I want to get the DLC and I have unclocked everything in the game, but this seriously hampers me from playing the game more as it one of my favorite games. :(

Same here! I guess only mass refunding will get the Devs attention. 2022 and no working controller setup? That was a peace of cake when NFS came out in the early 90s!

For what it's worth, I've been playing the game with a Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / S (I have one of each version on this PC) controller no problems? I am using the Xbox wireless adapter to connect these controllers to my PC. Are you guys using this adapter, or just straight to the PC via bluetooth?

I could test the 360 ones as well, I have those here as well.

Same as the poster above - I've played this game with an Xb1 controller over bluetooth, an Xbox Series controller in wired mode, and an 8bitdo Pro 2 over bluetooth in XInput mode - had no problems with any of them, neither in single-player nor in split-screen.

im using a pure wired. not a wireless to wired. my controller has to be plugged in to work, and has no bluetooth in side of it. and has no space for batteries. the main issue with wireless controlers is this, if they have no batteries inside they die check your batteries try changing/charging them(if your still buying those come on get rechargeables already, even while plugged in. which is fricking stupid as heck. try grabing a pnp controller from your local best buy, for 20$ give it a try. its what i use and no issues. just be careful though, if you have it set to where your monitor goes to sleep, pnp brand wakes it up on its own without input.

uhm.. thanks for the tips but none of my 6 controllers work xD (had a couple laying around and tested them on laptop and pc. all work on pc not the laptop).

as 've said before:
PiX.lR has Horizon Chase Turbo 16 Apr @ 7:26pm

Same on laptop its not working, BUT it is working with the same controller on my pc.
I dont get it.

Also checked and tested all variaties of settings on on laptop aswell as bigpicture settings with steam controller settings aswell as without.

Thanks for the tips anyway!

Got possible a solution. Steam mapping driver collides with game's native input wrapper or something. So all you have to do is disabling steam mapping support for this game (game properties > controller > disabled or force disabled), then let the game catch your xone controller directly from windows.
