Dead Rising 2
Controller support
The store page says there is partial controller support, but when I'm in PC settings that option is grayed out and I can't use my controller. Any ideas?

First off make sure it is an Xbox 360 controller (or that you are at least emulating one). Also make sure the controller is plugged in before you start the game.

When the game asks "Hit start" make sure to hit start with the controller and not the keyboard.

Still nothing. I read a little about this, and apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. Some people are having to emulate a 360 controller even though they're using a 360 controller. I guess it's mouse and keyboard for me, as I don't feel the need to go any farther out of my way to solve the problem.

I had this working before the update with a logitech f310. I distinctly remember having to modify a .ini file with or without using x360ce. I'll report back if I can remember how to fix it. Currently not working.

Are you using an *ACTUAL* Xbox 360 controller? Only those, and maybe now the One controller as well, will work.

Only other "catch" is either having it detected by the OS prior to launching the game, or having to go through and manually activate it after the fact.

I'm using an "afterglow" 360 controller. It works for every other game I own, It isn't a big deal though. I'm just gonna keep going with mouse and keyboard.

I *think* I like the One pad better than the 360 pad for this...I think. They're both fine though. Literally playing it RIGHT now, and it's STILL a blast. Can't believe how much I love this game, considering I didn't like the first one.

How well does it work with mouse and keyboard? Maybe I just didn't give it a shot, but it felt confusing to me.

I do love that now PC has ALL the controls...mouse and keyboard work as well or better for some games, but it's got the great Xbox One pad for games that work better with it!

It works just fine with mouse and keyboard, it just takes a little getting used to.
so how do you get this working?
Got a refund instead. Tried the "Fix" and it will not work with my controller on Windows 10.

Refunded mine as well. All the "guides" to fix the issue require you to download software that's been updated past the version that works.

You would think Capcom would of fixed this issue years ago. Perhaps with so many refunds it might be wise to patch in a fix.

Again, it works fine with *XBOX* controller, both 360 and One. No speical software or anything weird required. The last I heard though it needs to be an actual Xbox controller, not a third party controller.

I've played it with both the 360 and One pads, and it controls well. (If you're buying a new controller, personally I'd say go for the One one, just because the D-Pad's better, and of course new games will be designed around it's slight differences. They're both good though!)
You say it works, but I tried. nothing works.
