Xbox One Controller is NOT recognized

[Odyssey]

After I installed game and laucnhed it, controller didn't work. After a few restarts of game, controller suddenly worked. I don't know what exactly I did, tried to select controller in game menu and restarted game, deleted HID keyboard and mouse (virtual garbage of Microsoft), anyway, controller worked after all. Finished one location and quitted. At next launch of game, today, controller is not recognized again. What is it all? Unlucky PC port?
It's Windows 10 Pro on my PC. Controller is wired. Any other games recognize controller just fine.

I use An XboX One controler. No problems with it for me.

I've been playing since they released it early at launch and my Xbox One controller has been fine... until today. Don't know what happned but it won't detect it. I've tried messing with in-game settings and restarting the game still nothing. I haven't tried verifying cache or rebooting the game yet, just seems weird I'm suddenly running into this problem. Hopefully it's just a random thing and reboot will do but I don't know yet.

it doesn't determine issue in any way. But thanks for letting me know (no irony).

It might be patch that caused glitch.

Welp I thought it wouldn't work but before I would try to restart I verified chache and now it's working. It didn't even download anything to replace a file so I'm really confused what causes this. Hope its fine but I get the feeling I just got lucky.

Checked cache, restarted PC and it worked out. It's crazy. Something prevents from working it regularly. Some software, for example, Uplay that I launched before or at the same time. I don't still think it's ok, no fun to restart PC every time when you want to play it. Not sure it's 100% solution as well.
Thanks for helping, SlugNut.

I have the exact same problem, the controller works after a system reboot then stops working if you alt tab or relaunch the game.
I'm using wireless DS4 with steam big picture.
I'm not sure if the team behind the remaster is even checking what the community is complaining about at this point, I had this issue since day 1 and people complained about it on multiple occasions yet there's no fix yet. all we got was a patch that adds support to 144hz, because that's the real issue right here.

I also had this, and I've "fixed" it - kind of. Still no idea what's happening, but:

1) Close the game and Steam
2) Disconnect, reconnect controller (if wired)
3) Run Steam as Admin
4) Launch game

This should get you working - BUT, if I alt+tab or close the game, I have to relaunch Steam and start again. It's annoying as hell and doesn't affect any other game - but this did get me working, and avoids the need to reboot (which worked for me sometimes, but not every time - bizarre).

This applies to Xbone and PS4 controllers, likely 360 as well. I'm not running DS4W or InputMapper by the way - just Win10.
