Full controller support?

[mrgeniusa]

FULL controller support means the game supports DirectInput and XInput controllers. I have a DirectInput controller and it doesn't work with this game. I've tried using an Xbox 360 controller emulator(x360ce) and it still doesn't work. So either the game only has PARTIAL controller support, and the emulator doesn't work, or it has NO controller support at all. I'm able to play it using a joystick to keyboard mapper(J2K). But it's too awkward to be enjoyable. Due to having to use the mouse for the camera. So with less than an hour of play time...I'm done with this game. I regret my purchase and feel I was deceived about the level of controller support. I'm not going to leave a bad review at this point. But if this isn't fixed in say...a year from now...you can probably expect one. I'll be checking in periodically between now and then to see if this issue has been addressed.

i use a xbox one wired controller and it plays the game just fine with only the controller no mouse or keyboard since unreal engine 4 has this feature built right into the game engine

I have no idea what the issue might be, i am not sure if the game will work with your controller (emulator). Steam differentiate only between no, partial and full controller support, where partial means that you need mouse and/or keyboard to launch or use some game features, where full support is used e.g. in big picture mode, where you can use your pc as console.

Please, remember you can refund your game

My XBOX 360 controller is not working except to move the camera with the right stick. No gas, brake, or any other function shown in the menu is working. Any ideas?

Hi, please try the controller in other games, and ensure that you have all drivers up to date.

My XBox wired controller would only partially work. The four buttons would work, the camera could be adjusted, as did pause, but gas and brake did nothing. Steering seemed to respond but was abysmal.

I say "was" because I figured out my Roccat Tyon mouse had registered as a joystick in-game due to the side paddle-wheel and was the default option -- IMO this should not be the default, but also a helpful little snippet saying "Reverse not working? Try changing wheel and/or axis settings" would do wonders. I was so mad and almost called this game quits for being so faulty until I came here and found people had it working. Going digging led to why, so thought I'd share.

If reverse don't work, try changing the wheel in options!

I use a EasySMX ESM-9101 wireless controller and it works with this game. The only thing is I have to use the mouse to navigate the menus.
