Fix For Jade Empire (Start the Game & Xbox One Controller)
Jade Empire has several issues here are the fixes to two of them:

1. The Failed to Find Steam
2. The Config application that wont open

1. There are two fixes to this, I recommend using both.
1a. Go to your Steam Folder and grab Steam.dll, copy that file and go back to the Games folder then paste the file there.
1b. Change the file name of the game and the games launcher.
Change the games .exe to "JadeEmpireLauncher" after changing the launcher file to "JadeEmpireLauncherBackup".

2. The config application is very important because the in game config doesn't save your configuration changes. With that said if your still wont open after the above fix then in the games folder above the games .exe file should be the config file. You can make your changes there. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND MAKING A COPY BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING.

In my case I use an Xbox One wireless controller, and virtually every button that mattered was all over the place by default. I used the following to set everything to my standards, you can copy paste it to see if you like it. But note that you need to delete the field already in the config file for Bluetooth Input.

Muchos Thankos my bro! worked for me!
I recommend mish mashing the trigger axis buttons with the shoulder button inputs to avoid errors when switching between targets and moving around in the menu.
