Play this with controller on pc

[perbjorkhem]

I can't get it to work. Does the game work with a controller? If that is the case, please help.

Full controller support.
DId you close Steam fully exit, then disconnect the USB KB and mouse then connect the USB controller log into Steam again. Start HF.

I am having this trouble as well. Closed everything out, restarted my computer, turned on the PS4 controller, loaded up Steam, opened up the game. The game recognized that I had a controller, but will not let me play with the controller. Still forces mouse & keyboard controls with no option to manually change to controller in options. It says "full controller support", but I am not getting that experience.

Have you tried checking the properties of the game? (right clic on HF)
Go to controller and choose "default parameters ".

Check bluetooth switch is on and the controller is active and ready before opening HF game. If I turn on controller after HF is open, I need to use mouse to start my game from the menu screen. Hopefully you are up and running already!

@Nemesys9999 I have checked the properties and everything under controller was set to default already. I am in a different room than my controller currently, so I cannot check and see if it is working today.

@Squeaker5353 I had done all that and it still did not work.

It is not imperative that I use a controller, I just wanted to see which worked better for me. If there are bugs with the controller I suppose I will just have to wait until they are fixed.

[Nemesys9999]

That's the point that bothers me : there are no bugs as the controllers are fully supported.
So there must be something wrong with the settings.
And it is so comfortable to play with a controller ...

I guess I can try to re-pair the device and see if that helps any. I tried it with another game that also had full controller support and it did not work either. If it does not work, I guess I'm using keyboard and mouse. Thanks for your suggestions, friend. :)

Did you get this working? I'm currently having the same problem but with a Pro Controller 😭

I'm thinking this: The controller has to be paired with the PC. If you are using a controller that is paired to another device, i.e. PS4 station and you do not have a usb for it to connect it to the PC usb port, , that may be the issue. Also, I had to repeat the instructions a few times (the ones I received with the controller) exactly as they are written to get mine to work. I did buy a controller just for my PC. I did not use a console controller. Now, when the controller doesn't connect, on occasion, all I do is remove the usb for 10 sec and reconnect it. I use the wifi connection rather than bluetooth. This is all I got. Fingers crossed.

I recently started getting a message that my controller isn't fully supported when it's the same controller I have been using right along. If you click on the controller on the game page, it will take you to a menu where you can get the template for the controller. I am thinking maybe it's a glitch from a recent update possibly since this is a new development.

The fix for me was to go into the houseflipper program from steam and uncheck run as administrator.
