"Full Controller Support" Yeah, right

[Dal]

I cannot get my XBox controllers to work with this game.
When i start the game, it says "Config loaded (WASD) keyboard and mouse. I see no trace of the controllers.
They work flawlessly in any other game that claims to have full controller support.
I also have a PS4 dual shock. That kinda works, but the game apparently has no support for that, so it still calls the buttons for X,Y,A,B, which of course is wrong.
Any tips?

I have the same problems as you. I tried everything but the prompts does not show up. Guess where stuck on xbox prompts. Even though you can see in the options the playstation controller shows up.

Hey try checking under Steam settings and make sure you have Xbox controllers enabled as a recognizable device. There is a setting under controllers where you have to tick a little box and Steam will recognize it better. If you have already done this not too sure then.

Thanks, but it is already enabled, via here:
Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings -> Xbox Configuration Support (and Playstation Configuration Support)
When I connect a controller, it says:
Detected Controllers: Xbox One Controller: Xbox One Controller
As I said, it works perfectly in other games.

I am having a similar issue as Dal.

I have an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller (recognized as a Xbox controller in most games I play successfully), Final Cut with Steam. Xbox Configuration Support is enabled in Steam's configuration, Disco Elysium recognizes my controller and loads the default "Gamepad" configuration.

However, once I'm into the game the gamepad does not respond, and the game doesn't have any indicators that it will accept gamepad input (no button hints, the controller page just lists keyboard shortcuts).

Help!

I think I actually solved this.
This is what I did:

Connect the controller first.
After Steam has detected it, right click on the game (in the game list on the left)
Select Manage -> Controller Configuration
A new window pops ut, and at the bottom of that window is a selection called Browse Configs.
Click on that and go to Templates, then select Gamepad.
Close the window, and you're good to go.

Thanks Dal, I followed those steps, still having the same issue. The "Gamepad" configuration appears loaded at game start, but Disco Elysium won't accept any input from my gamepad or otherwise recognize that there's a gamepad present.

Side note: User-created configurations that replace gamepad inputs with keyboard / mouse buttons do work, but I'm trying to get the native XInput / Xbox controls to work.
