My Xbox 360 controller (Xinput) doesn't work on Turok 2

[GM72]

My Xbox 360 controller works on Turok 1 just fine but on Turok 2 it doesn't , and I use http://www.x360ce.com/ (xinput) to play most of my games

Run the command "listjoysticks" in the console. It will reveal if SDL2 knows what your controller is.
Try your controller without any controller emulation as well. If it's already a 360/xinput game pad or a gamepad SDL2 already recognizes, emulation will just obfuscate the device.
If your controller is still invalid to SDL2, configure your controller in Steam Big Picture and launch Turok2 through that.

why the hell would you use x360ce with a 360 pad? They're natively supported by windows.

That's what i prefer to use

Yes, but, there's no need for it. They're natively supported under windows. You just plug them in and wait five seconds and you're good.

Yeah but my Controller is a Xinput controller (GooBang Doo)

[Edward850]

Do you try anything that I suggested?

[GM72]

Yes I typed listjoysticks it was invalid and i tried Big Picture Mode and THAT didn't work either , I don't get Ed i played Turok 1 with a Xinput Controller (Without Big Picture Mode) and it worked just fine on T1

We had to change the Turok1 code as it was flawed, as it accepted anything that claimed to be a joystick, even things that weren't. x360ce however does not seem to be a valid xinput controller or dinput gamepad according to SDL2. Steam Big Picture is supposed to inject configurations but that doesn't seem to take either.
Try disabling x360ce and run your gamepad directly.

[GM72]

Did that and it STILL didn't work on T2 , Aww man this F*cking sucks :(

[Edward850]

So your controller plugged in with nothing else but the Windows driver and listjoysticks still says it's invalid? Because if it's a proper xbox360/xinput controller, that should be impossible.

The issue lies between your controller and SDL2. What's strange is that SDL2 uses Xinput directly (dinput uses configs), so it should be able to detect any controller connected that uses Xinput.
