Xbox One Controller has no option for sprint or wait

[GreasyYeastCrease]

Just got a new controller, but the sprint (LB) and wait (select or its equivalent) do not work, when I go into the controls part of the menu, those do even show up as options. No issues with either on mouse and keyboard. Has anyone else had this issue and/or solved it?

So, dont play with a controller?
I dont use consols, but I believe you can buy a keyboard and mouse to them now?

I know lots of people prefer controllers. I just never have understood why, other then for games where you only move and shoot. And where you only need a few buttons for dialogs, choices etc.

Keyboard and mouse are still far superior for RPGs, MMOs and any social game with text.
Even some FPS games which offers alot of skills and "things" do use in real time, makes the controller an obstical compaired to a keyboard.

Sure, I understand that some players wants controllers no matter what!
But,
then people needs to accept the limitation controllers has on games which are not made ONLY for consoles.

OP, I am not attacking you.
I am just suggesting the solution to your issue, which is a keyboard.
If you do not want to use a keyboard, then I simply explain the limitation on controllers for games that isnt console only.

I'd argue that claiming which is better in RPGs is subjective. Clearly in a multiplayer environment, where twitch reflexes win the game, players are best served with a m/kb solution. Or in an isometric RPG where it's an all out click-fest. But for RPGs I'd argue that a controller can up the immersion factor via how it handles player movement and the subsequent feeling it provides of feeling more physically connected to the world in a way kb alone can't provide.

With keyboard movement you're stuck with discreet speeds when choosing to walk or run. A controller's movement is analogue and so allows you to move in a more natural and fluid way that connects you more effectively (imo) to the world you're playing in. I feel as if I'm "there" when I use a controller and so it has become my go-to way of playing games where immersion is more important than having twitch reflexes.

Have you gone into Big Picture mode to set it up through Steam ?.

My PS4 controller for The Witcher 3 is far superior to the k/board and mouse, its the only way i will play that game.

You hit the nail on one major point regarding gaming.
Which I missed to add!!
What sort of game control players likes, are hugely subjective

You describe how the controller works best for you, both as reacting quickly, and how the controller makes you "feel" you are in the game.
You are immersed in the game since you act automaticly with the controller, and never have to "think" what button to press and when. Even when there are menus etc, you just "do it"?

Is this a correct assumption how the controller works for you?

I have the EXACT same effect when I play, by using keyboard and mouse.
I loose myself in MMOs PVP, Skyrim and all games that isnt just "diablo type click, click click".

The keyboard and mouse becomes a "part" of me.
I react automaticly without ever thinking. Just like you describe with your controller.

I move VERY fast, which I cant come close to on my controller!

In fact,
I get so into the game that I duck in real when a fireball gets shoot at me and move my body around and jumping like a badman when arrows keeps hitting me!

Just like you, the keyboard/mouse ADDS to my immersion.
A controller (Which I have) limits what I can do, AND, FOR ME, moving with the controller, breaks immersion, since you press hard on the moving control when you REEAAAALY need to move fast. And I lack many hotkeys to do X quickly.

I am not ignorat towards controllers. They simply limits MY gameplay, in MY View.

Important:
My post is NOT any argument that a keyboard and mouse are better then a controller! Or wise versa!

I only want to point out that players has different views on what works best for them as controls.

Even among players who prefers a keyboard and mouse, often have VASTLY different setup of hotkeys and how they play.
This is just as different on what people likes, as keyboard vs controller.

Why do I post this?

My worry is that games moves towards controller based gameplay, will strip the usage of keyboard, to "suit" controllers.

I have nothing against games that offers the use for a controller.
I just dont want the Keyboard/mouse option to get gimped! =)

However,
What controls a player "likes" or "feels best" about are totally subjective.

I react automaticly with hotkeys without ever thinking what to press.
I move VERY well by using the keyboard and mouse combo. So good that I duck in real when a fireball is shoot at me and move my body around when moving fast, sideways, jumping etc.

Just like you, the keyboard/mouse ADDS to my immersion.
A controller, which I have and have tried to get used to, limits what I can do AND moving a char with a controller, breaks immersion for me, since you press hard on the moving control when you REEAAAALY need to move fast.

Important:
My post is NOT any argument that Keyboard and mouse are better then your controller! Or wise versa!

Only that players always had different views on what works best for them as controlls in games.

Players, like me, who prefer a keyboard and mouse, often have VASTLY different setup of hotkeys and how they play to have the same immersion as you described.
This is just as differently as keyboard vs controller.

My worry is that games that moves towards controller based gameplay, strips the usage of keyboard, so you cant have 101 hotkeys....but only 10.
See my point?

There is no point as i have other games i only play with k/board and mouse, Skyrim SE, Metro LL Re-Dux, FarCry 2 & 3, all The Tomb Raiders, HalfLife 2, Dishonored, Stalker etc, i have no issues playing TW3 with the PS4 and wouldn't play it any other way.

So, we say the same thing. What controls players prefers, are not the same for all players, or games. =).

I need to learn how to post short, but well explained, answers like yours! :p.

I'd like to add that I only play GTA with a controller ;). Moving the car/bike was aweful with a keyboard.

[Modder_Fodder]

have you tried to see if in other games those buttons work your controller may be faulty

[GreasyYeastCrease]

First of all, I do also play with M+KB, but sometimes it just feels nice to use the controller. It's what I first started gaming with, still not suuper comfortable using all the keys on the KB and sometimes want a nice chill session without the incredible clacking of my keyboard firing off nonstop haha. The controllers buttons themselves work just fine on other games, I have gone through and set it up on big picture, although perhaps I have missed a step there so I should try again. When I go into Skyrims menu it will show Jump - Y, etc. but doesnt even show Sprint or Wait at all so I cannot even rebind them.

[Modder_Fodder]

again have u tested the gamepad on other games or is skyrim the only one you have this issue with

Good luck with this question, I doubt the OP will bother to check the hardware, seems stuck on the idea it's a software issue.

In the comment right above yours I state that the controller works fine in other games, Wicher, Rocket League, etc. the fact that the words Sprint or Wait don't even show up as options on the Skyrim menu made me think it was a Skyrim problem.

Seems the option I have is to not play with the controller function on in Skyrim, and map out every button as if its M+KB, seeing as how I cannot use exported configs either, they are all blank for some reason. Cannot seem to get the left joystick to replicate WASD movement at the moment or to get the pushing of RS button to work the way it should. Oh well.

try buttion mapping software and sorry i skim read
