CONTROLLER SUPPORT

[BadMF1979]

How is it possible that a game made 5 years ago still doesnt have working controller scheme?!
You cant back up or lower your flying vehicles after all this time?!

ya get rekt lol ubi has your money. their tip involves "turning forced steam controller settings or something similar to that off" in big picture mode which shows the correct gamepad controller layout but it totally turns off the controller input so it doesn't even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work lmao rarded ubisoft can suck my tainthole.

I figured out a work around which requires a third party controller emulation. I am using the dualsense controller and it's emulated as an xbox 360 controller through DS4 windows. there are a few other things to note, but DS4 windows covers it on their installation and setup. such as "hiding” the real gamepad being used so only DS4 windows’ virtual controllers remain visible to games in order to prevent the infamous double controller or double input issue.

still requires to force turn off steam input in big picture mode first in order for it to work though since steam input overrides it. After that however, I can just play the game as normal, also not required to be in big picture anymore, but with some extra inputs like having mouse control with the touchpad, but it's all customizable. unlike in-game which has no controller settings customization at all. suck my tainthole ubisoft, but then again they don't even care enough to fix this obviously prevalent issue years later...

all the big picture mode sh*t doesn't really matter, just a different dumb way to do it since it's what their "official support" tells you to try lol
you can also just
>right click on far cry 5 >and in properties >controller >override for far cry 5 >turn off steam input (then use a third party controller emulation software)

I use a Logitec controller GamePaD F310 and it uses Logitech gaming software and remap keys/stick to the way I want them. Use it for all these types of games, so if a game has "controller support," or no, for me at least, it is fine either way.

[Divine Executioner Vlad]

Fair enough, but I already have a controller to use so I would rather use some controller emulation instead of buying an entire controller lol good to know some controllers come with their own remapable software

[SteahmChip]

I do not know if you have Amazon availability but at this time GamePaD F310 is $17.48 US.

Anyway if there is a generic software compatible for yours, that might work out better as you can simply remap rather than emulate which in my view can be tricky, but if you got it going, ok your done, PLAY.

My biggest problem was the console and inability to swap sticks in many games because I like the "move" stick on my right thumb. PC gaming with this controller that has been non issue across the many games I have used, which along with mods is why I abandoned games on the console (it is a good heavyweight DVD player though).

[Divine Executioner Vlad]

these are all possible options for a solution to the problem being the steam input overrides the in-game compatibility for controller options totally breaks a single input, yet turning off steam input makes it totally not even work at all lmao

[SteahmChip]

I was not even aware of Steam input and had to look it up
After reading about it, I find no use for it it since evrything works already and I use my controller on GOG games, old DVD installs UPLAY etc,

[hes rotting you know]

controller worked for me, even though it says partial controller support it's full support

I have a xinput controller which every other game supports when claiming partial support.
I have ps4 controllers which are only alive because they were good as pc controllers. (they still are, mine was ps4 original and now loose and such)

I have played far cry 5 many times with said controllers, but I cant remember the witchdoctor stuff I had to do to get it work. Im getting old waiting for ubisoft to fix their stuff, as probably the original staff is too.
