Controller not working?

[BumpkinBill]

I have an Xbox One controller plugged in (wired) and it does not want to work so far. Am I doing something wrong? I have unplugged other usb controllers like my flight sim gear to no avail. Any help appreciated!

Hey BumpkinSpice,

this sounds very weird, I use an Xbox One controller to play! One thing I've heard before is that sometimes, Unity games will get weird if there are multiple controllers plugged in -- and it sounds like maybe you have other controllers plugged in for your flight sim games? Maybe try unplugging those things and then plugging the Xbox controller in, and see if that fixes it :)

Hi No More Robots,

Thank you for the reply! I have tried unplugging any other controllers I have an it still doesn't seem to want to work :( I will keep experimenting but in the meantime at least the keyboard works! Great game so far!

Hmm, this definitely sounds like a weird controller issue... I hate controller issues! I know this sounds very IT Crowd, but have you tried turning your PC off and on again with just the Xbox One controller plugged in?

You could also try downloading the latest Xbox One controller drivers

Finally, if it's still not working, could you try running the game in Steam Big Picture mode? Sometimes that can solve weird controller issues. You can at the very least see if the controller is working on Steam itself that way

I did turn the PC off and back on with just the controller plugged in, and that did not work.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Xbox One controller drivers, and now pressing A on the intro menus skips past them, but the controller still doesn't work for actually controlling the game xD

I am not sure how to run in Big Picture mode, but I have tried the controller with some other games on Steam and it worked fine in those!

An update: it is now working! I have no idea what has changed, but I'm not questioning anything :)

Mine also does not work.. works fine every other game except for this.

Mine works but then stops working and then repeats, but if i click my 2nd screen and it works perfectly. Makes no sense.

Hey all! Make sure you don't have any other controllers that are conflicting (eg steering wheels etc). Also trying running in Big Picture mode if you're still having problems!

My Xbox One controller works, but the issue I'm facing is, pressing the right trigger isn't doing anything, and hence I'm unable to bunny hop. The keyboard key works, so I'm forced to play with the keyboard at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated.

You bunny hop with the right *stick*, not trigger — is that what you meant?

Ahh, yes, my bad. I meant the right stick. I checked the controller through an app to see if there may be an issue with the stick itself, but the input works fine; it's just not working in-game.

Thanks a lot! Since i also had this problem and this helped me a lot!

big picture or no, it seems descenders can't deal with multiple game controllers connected even if only one of them is a gamepad, have to disconnect my HOTAS and pedals, Being able to choose which controller to use would be a great QoL improvement.
