Controller issues in KI on PC

[C4]

I have 2 generic usb controllers and 1 ps4 controller which have worked on fighting games like Street Fighter 4 & 5, MKX and Tekken 7 without the need of third-party software or special drivers. Just plug and play via usb. But neither work on killer instinct. Anyone know why and how to fix the problem?

Though I don't own the Steam version, I do have the Season 1 "Ultra" Edition on the Windows Store(it was free)...and when I finally got around to trying it out, I ran in to the same issue. Wanted to use my Sega Saturn controller, but, like you say, even though it works on *everything else*, it does not work with KI. Why MS is forcing us to use the Xbox 360/XB1 controller is beyond me.

At any rate, try to above link and see how it pans out. It's kind of convoluted way of getting it working, but once you set it, you're done(you just have to remember to start XOutput before starting the game). I've been using my SS controller ever since, no problems.

Let me, and the rest of the forum know if it works. I hear from some people that third-party controller remap apps like this aren't working with the Steam version of KI, so it'd be nice to have confirmation on this one...one way or another.

@Belpowerslave: those limitations apply to the Windows Store version, but here you have 3 options, starting with Steam's Big Picture mode:

Oh, that's great to hear! Though I have just the first season on the Windows Store version(again, free "Games with Gold" thing), it *never* goes on sale...so, I was hoping it would on Steam(as every other game constantly does) and I could scoop it up here. Just wanted to make sure the controller thing wasn't going to be an issue first. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses, those look promising! Will give it a bash.

This solution helped me, thanks! The x360ce fix for changing the .dll to another file name worked perfectly.
