Xbox controller problem on mac

[thesimonry]

Hey,
I have bought the game this afternoon but he didn't recognise my xbox 360 wired controller. I have tried all support web site's helps but nothing work...
My mac Os is : 11, 2, 2...
Any other idea ???

The Xbox controller should just work. Have you tried a different cable?
Since you tried the suggestion on the support page, what was the HTML5 Gamepad Tester result? :)

Thank LuGus Studios,
Yep, it's work, my controller is recognise.
I can play Dirt rally or GRID with this controller without any problem on the same mac.
I think the problem is different
I'm trying to reinstall the game... I will give news this afternoon...

[thesimonry]

Game reinstalled but, bad news : it dosen't work…
I have installed the new version of Mac OS (11.2.3)…nothing
I can add that : when I plug in the controller, the green light is off. But when I use a game (Grid / Dirt Rally) or the HTML5 test, the light switch on. Even if I lunch Liftoff, the light stay off…

You'll need custom drivers to use the Xbox 360 controller on mac. Steam has drivers available for it, but only for games that use Steam's input system. Liftoff doesn't use that system (because it needs support for a lot of other remotes). For example. check this github page: https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller

Hello!

Sorry about bumping this old thread. I was able to play with my Xbox One controller without any issues for about 13 hours but it has rather abruptly stopped working.

The controller is no longer detected by liftoff despite it working everywhere else on my Mac (in other games, in the application menu outside of steam as well as within steam). I've tried switching between the different versions of liftoff (Metal and not (M1 mac here)) as well as launching the app through steam's big picture mode. I've even tried connecting the controller before and after starting the game, to no avail. I have sent a screenshot to your support email address ([e-mail]) showing that the controller was picked up by steam but not by the in game configuration wizard. I have looked at the game settings and have made sure that generic controller support is turned off.

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated, this game was a ton of fun to play and I would really appreciate being able to play it again soon.

Best regards,
Mweya
