Xbox One Controller won't work.

[DarkFlow]

Anyone know a way to get the Xbox one Controller to work on this game? My 360 controller works just fine, but when I try to use my One contoller, it's a no go. I do have the latest drivers installed but I guess this game just refuses to detect it.

I have that installed already...

Has it ever worked for you?

[facciola007]

On any other game? As in can you run maybe skyrim and see if it works?

[DarkFlow]

Yes, it works with every other game I've used it for, just this one some how refuses to work. It's very odd.

[facciola007]

Its possible it wont, I went to the control area and all you can do is enable an xbox 360 controller or disable it. Sorry I cant be more help here.

Just tested it again, Crazy Taxi works fine with my contoller. Fire up this game and nothing. Hitting the xbox button brings down the menu, but everything else is dead, and going to settings it says there's no controller.

It's cool, just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and maybe has a work around. Maybe I'll have to use another program to trick it into thinking it's a 360 controller.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but for the benefit of past and future "limited" players of this game I found a consistent workaround for this. I discovered this workaround after noticing the controller works perfectly fine on the first run but subsequent executions of the game manifests this issue. I confirmed my suspicions after repeatedly deleting the saved game folder and starting from scratch.

Here are the steps:
1) Before starting the game make sure NO CONTROLLER IS ACTIVE when the game starts.
2) Navigate all the way to the main menu WITH THE KEYBOARD.
3) ONLY plug in or turn on your controller after the game reaches this point.

The controllers should now behave as normal.

I also confirm this issue still exists on the Xbox One Elite controller.

Helped me with my xbox one controller, many thanks!

Hey, glad you found something that works!

If nothing else helps I found something useful, even for older games without controller support:
search for "xpadder" 5.3 (last free version)
Battlestation works now fine on its own, but this prog is really useful and easy to use!

I hope someone sees this and could give me some help. I try the above and follow all the steps listed. I launch the game from steam big picture mode, launch the game using the key board and then turn on the controller (I use wireless, the usb remains in the entire time) and it doesn't work. I've tried plugging in the usb when I get to the menu and I've tried plugging in the usb after I launch the first mission. It doesn't work. Please help!

hm - weird that the wireless behaves on its own and not like the cabled...
a) maybe try my mentioned "xpadder" prog, worth a try
b) ask microsoft support what yould be the difference to the cable-link
c)...i.P.
