Xbox controller support on PC

[Complement]

Hi. Bought this for my kids but having problems getting it to recognize Gamepads controllers. I’ve tried wired 360 and series x controllers, and steam controller - all cases feather won’t recognize any game pad inputs unless I hold the ‘guide’ button (ie if I hold the Xbox button I can now use the left stick to move, otherwise only kb + mouse works). Appears kb + mouse inputs take precedence. Any ideas?

I was trying to get this to work on steam link, but the same issue appears when I use a wired controller directly to the pc.

Looks like a great game for the kids so I’d appreciate any help. It could be a ‘chord’ issue with the Xbox controllers but I haven’t really had issue with other games so that’s why I’m posting here : )

Poked around the forums more and figured out the problem - my HOTAS was being recognized as a gamepad!

Thanks to user taz.in.bc for his comments in another thread, hopefully this helps anyone else having gamepad issues!

Hey I have an insight here. I don't have a gamepad connected but I do have a joystick plugged in... which could be confusing the heck out of the game (or it might be Steam's blankety-blankety controller configuration layer which drives me crazy on a regular basis). I'll try (a) using the joystick, (b) unplugging the joystick, and see what happens then. Also will check on what Steam's darned config layer thinks it is doing. I had forgotten that joystick was live (I fool around developing custom game controllers so there's a lot of USB hardware on my worktable all the time)... will report back.

[update an hour or so later] YES. that was the problem, having a joystick plugged in confused either the game or Steam (most likely Steam, based on recent experience). When I unplugged the joystick I started getting the same prompts (WASD, not L) and could progress easily through the tutorial! Thanks for your patient advice.

Can say the same about my PS4 dual shock as well.
