Xbox One Controller FIX! The easiest way!

[ミFreshRaven™]

Okay, so most of you guys/girls are complaining about the Controller Support for this Game. Here is a solution for most of you people:

- Go to your Game Directory and right-click the "sao_hr.exe"
- Next up, choose Compatibility on the second bar
- Set the Compatibility Mode to "Windows 7" and hit Apply

Do the same with your "steam.exe", which is located in the respective install dir.

NOTE: Make sure that your Xbox One Controller is configured before you start the game. Feel free to assign the setup you want the most. :)

TA-DA! You don't need the Big Picture Mode anymore! Works as usual like when you start up Steam normally, not with Administration rights.

It did work for me, so I don't know if it works with PS4 Controllers either way, I favorite the Xbox One Controller to play my games.

Feel free to answer if it works for you guys :) Wanna know if it helps you or not :)

Bonjour à tous,

J’ai moi aussi galéré comme beaucoup avec cette histoire de manette, il était hors de question de pollué mon pc encore une fois avec un logiciel tiers Xbox Controller and Co.
Et la manip proposée avec Big Picture et ou de débranché etc… ne fonctionné pas !

J'ai donc cherché un peu plus loin en Big Picture (BigP) et ai trouvé une solution plus pragmatique.

Comme indiqué par Juzo 13 en premier lieux vérifier que Steam voie bien votre manette pour cela :

Allez dans les paramètres Steam --> manette --> paramètres généraux --> assistance configuration manette Xbox (doit être coché et une manette doit apparaitre en dessous de ces options, si non alors votre manette n'est correctement détecté par Steam)

Si aucune détection ne s'effectue relancez Steam (de préférence en BigP) et aller contrôlez.

Enfin passé Steam en mode Big Picture si vous n'avez pas déjà relancé Steam directement en BigP.
A partir de là faite comme bon vous semble mais je vous recommande d’user de votre manette dans les menus BigP. Sélectionner le jeux (ne l'exécutez pas !) allez dans :

Bibliothèque sélectionnez SAO --> Gérer --> configuration du contrôleur --> Parcourir les configurations --> Afficher les autres types de manettes --> Dans l'onglet des configuration recommandées officielle pour SAO par Aquria, sélectionnez la configuration en fonction de votre manette (Steam Controller, xbox360, xbox one, ou ps4) et faite importer la configuration --> Appliquer la configuration.

Le message d’avertissement de la configuration de la manette nécessaire persiste mais le prb et corrigé.

Bon jeu à vous.

I'm lazy so google trad, sorry everyone :

I also struggled as much with this controller story, it was out of the question to pollute my pc again with a level of software Xbox Controller and Co.
And handling with Big Picture and or unplugged etc ... does not work!

So I looked a little further in Big Picture (BigP) and found a more pragmatic solution.

As stated by Juzo 13 first check that Steam sees your controller well for that:

Go to settings Steam -> controller -> general settings -> Xbox controller configuration support (must be checked and a joystick should appear under these options, if not then your controller is not detected by Steam)

If it's not detected relaunched Steam (preferably in BigP) and go check.

Finally passed Steam in Big Picture mode if you are not already relaunched Steam directly in BigP.
From there do as you like but I recommend you use your controller in the menus BigP. Select the game (do not run it!)

SAO classified library -> Manage -> controller configuration -> Browse configurations -> Show other types of controllers -> In the tab of the recommended configuration for SAO by Aquria, specify the configuration according to your controller (controller of steam, xbox360, xbox one, or ps4) and importer configuration -> Apply configuration.

The warning message of the necessary controller configuration persists but the prb is corrected.

Good game to you.

I spent hours trying various methods posted in different places, got my Xbox 360 controller to work, then it stopped working on the next launch. After over an hour of trying various things again, I found that the controller won't work if you have Fraps running when you launch the game. Launch it after the game starts if you want to use it. I hope this helps someone avoid all the trouble I went through.

None of this worked for me I just refunded after an hour. Might try PS4 version

[ZWarrior]

I wanted to try one more time before I refunded and it worked
someone else advise was to

"Configure your controller on Steam.
Steam --> Stettings --> Controller (very bottom) --> General Controller Settings

From there, make sure PS4, Xbox and Generic Gamepad Configuration Support are checked.
Also make sure your controller is detected by Steam. "

But you have to restart steam for this to take effect. Which I didnt at first. restarted steam after doing this and it works.

That way worked for me with my Logitech F310! Yay!

Thanks dood, I was about to give up and ask for refund until i did this, now works perfect. I played the first two games on my Vita and I don't have a PS4 to play this one, Steam was my only option.

I refunded the game because in 2018 (or even 2016 when this game initially launched) this kind of deplorable controller support is absolutely unacceptable.

Much smaller games by even smaller teams have on-the-fly controller detection.

It's a shame because even in the 15 minutes or so I tried with the mouse and keyboard, the game looked really fun, it's just an uncontrollable mess without a gamepad.

I'll keep my eye on the PS4 version and see if it ever goes on special.

I'm real disappointed in XSEED here. This is pathetic.

Erm this isn't even their fault nor did they work on this game. It's strictly a Bandai title...this issue is actually on Steam's end. So if you wanna get mad at anyone it's them. By default steam DOES NOT have any controller support turned on when stuff works that's Window's doing stuff lol Going into Steam's controller settings proves this too.
