XBOX controller not working

[Damolii]

I have an xbox controller and for some reason the game does not pick up any input from it. Anyone else having this problem??

[Yzzin]

I'm having this issue too, sometimes games get confused with it and my G13 but I've unplugged that and restarted to no avail :(

Mine works just fine. Can go back and fourth between controller and KB&M with no issues. Only issue i seem to have is 5.1 audio doesn't work :/ Seems a ton of people are having that issue.

I found that disconnecting my G13 was not enough. I also had to exit the LogiTech Gaming software. Look under "Hidden Icons" on the lower right of your monitor.

I hope what worked for me, works for you.

Yeah I had to remove it from my devices to get the controller to finally register. It's weird some games have so much trouble with the G13. I'll see if next time I'm connected if exiting the gaming software works. Thanks!

In another thread, someone surmised it is the thumbstick on the G13 causing problems.

I'm glad you got it resolved.


EDIT: Spelling.

I have a problem when using my 360 controller. I can't continue the tutorial because it asks me to open the gear menu but none of the buttons does that. Start button only paused the game. Select button is doing nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

I had the issue on the windows store version what you want to do is disable things like the g13 and hid complient game controler I have this issue alot more on other final fantasy games except for ffxiv where you can select which one you are using in the system configuration menu most ports from the series don't have a device selection menu.

Is this reply meant for me? If so, I don't own a g13 (but I have a g402 mouse) and there are no other controllers connected beside kb&m.

I fixed my issue. I had to go into Steam Big Picture Mode then configure my controller for the game; There was another slightly unrelated thread that had that as a suggestion for another problem, but I tried it and it worked

It's ok I fixed my problem with the select button. For some reason this game is obviously using the PS4 contoller layout as default. I switched to Xbox now it works.

Hey Enno, I'm having the same problem you were. Where do I go to switch the controller layout? Is this in the controller options in-game, or in Steam's settings?

Go to Big Picture mode and enable the Xbox compatibility, then leave Big Picture, go to Steam>Parameters>In game> Disable Big Picture interface. Should work that way.

No need to go to Big Picture. What I did was simply rightclick on the game in the library and then select Edit Steam Controller Configuration. Then a screen pops up. On the top is the current controller layout displayed. On the bottom you find Browse Configs. Click on that and select the Xbox layout. But I noticed just now that my settings did change back after closing Steam. So it might be possible that this has to be done everytime after starting Steam. Don't know yet why this isn't saved permanently.

Thanks, this worked like a charm. Though yeahh, it seems Steam doesn't save the setting on closing. Either way, it's an issue I can deal with for now. Better than having to switch to the keyboard to open the Gear menu.

My Logitech Chillstream doesn't work. It is working out of the box as a xbox controller for almost all games. Not for this game. Right stick does'nt work and it is impossible to play while the controller is plugged.
