Xbox One Controller not working

[c0R333]

Hey guys, I just got Sekiro and I wanted to play it with my XB1 controller, my controller gets recognized by Windows and is perfectly usable in Big Picture Mode but whenever I try to launch the Game I can't use it in game even though I started the game with the controller trough big picture mode. I already updated my Controller to the latest Firmware. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

That's weird. Mine worked just fine from the get go (I'm using a wireless one though)

Try deleting the drivers for it and reinstall it.

Check the gamepad settings in steam then to see if it's set up correctly.

Try uninstalling shadowplay. I had issues with NvContainerLocalSystem service

Go into the steam settings --> controller --> desktop configuration --> browse configs --> templates --> set it to gamepad with camera controls

I have my XB1 controller wired, just reinstalled the driver, put it in gamepad with camera controls and it's still not working as soon as I hit the "press any key" screen

@trocallot if setting the desktop configuration to gamepad fixes your issues it probably means there is some issue with the overlay - usually another overlay is elevating the game and preventing Steam from attaching our overlay (ex: Riva Tuner or MSI afterburner). When there is issues with the overlay we might not successfully see the game's window as belonging to the game and think it is a desktop window (anything not launched via Steam).

Really frustrating that it isn't working with the xbox one controller. I read about the problems with the 360 and the PS4 and thought I wouldn't have problems with the xb1... Should have just bought the xbox version instead feels bad man

From you logs it looks like you're using Steam Input w/ your Xbox controller. Can you try turning off Steam Input for your controller? BPM->Settings-Controller Settings->Uncheck Xbox Configuration Support.

If you've changed the per game opt-in setting you'd want to go to BPM-Library page for Sekiro->Controller Options->Steam Input Per Game Setting-> Set to global.

Then restart the Sekiro - at that point you're using the game's built-in Xinput support.

If that works but does not work with Steam Input then there may be an issue with another overlay interfering with the Steam overlay's gamepad emulation. A number of users have reported that disabling the Nvidia Experience overlay has fixed their issue for them.

[c0R333]

I just tired that didn't work, I already had the Nvidia Experience overlay disabled so that wasn't the issue as well. But when I go to BPM->Settings->Controller Settings there is a other controller being detected called "Unified Virtual HID" I herad that other HID devices could interfere with this Game and cause controllers not to work could this be a problem? If yes how do I remove this Unified Virtual HID from my computer?

Would be interested to hear the fix for this issue. Having the same problem, followed through the instructions and still no luck.

steam->settings->controller-> genearl controller settings - uncheck everything in there.
steam input api sometimes interferes with game's native xinput support.

I have everything unchecked and my Xbox one controller works perfectly fine. Def a problem with your setup.

Troubleshooting outside of Steam Input:

@Hotaru-tan: Sekiro is likely seeing that virtual device and locking onto it as player one so the real controller won't work. From googling it looks like the source of the virtual device might be this:
https://www.unifiedremote.com/tutorials/how-to-uninstall-the-driver-unified-virtual-hid
if that doesn't work you can try to disable the driver via device manager. I think once you've eliminated that virtual controller Sekiro should work fine for you without Steam Input. You can also try with Steam Input and swapping the controllers so the real one is player one (at end).

For other people - if you have devices with DirectInput axes like 3D mice, Keypads w/ Joysticks, HOTAS, Steering Wheels, etc try unplugging them. You can also try hiding them via Steam Input (below).

Steam Input Troubleshooting :
When Steam Input is enabled for Generic Gamepads or the Steam Input per-game setting is set to "Forced on" for a game all the misc HID Direct Input devices will be hidden from the game by our input hooks. To enable the global settings go to BPM->Settings->Controller Settings and check "Generic Gamepad" plus whatever controller type you are using. To enable the per-game setting go to BPM->Sekiro's library page->Controller Options->Steam Input Per-Game Setting and set that to "Forced On"

If BPM is picking up multiple controllers and you're using Steam Input you can swap which controller is player one from the overlay. BPM overlay->controller options->Rearrange Controller Order and make sure your Xbox controller is controller one.

its annoying that the general feeling is that its up to the customers to fix problems relating to the game. If peoples controllers werent working for any game, this would be reasonable, but since peoples controllers work for every other game, they shouldnt need to start fiddling around with settings that could potentially cause problems in other games, or unplugging devices, just to cover up for the fact the developer and publisher refuse to acknowledge their game is at fault. This is on valves platform, you guys SHOULD be demanding a certain level of publisher responsibility for paying customers... you know, a level of quality control.

This is what fixed it for me, Thanks Trocallot!
