Controllers not working?

[M.C.Chuckles]

Neither my fightstick nor my xbox controller work with this game. I just get stuck at the title screen. Anyone else having this issue?

I am, even though I unplugged my Xbox 360 controller and still had an issue. Do you have a multiple monitor setup?

Just use steam input.... Seriously, it works with any controller if you setup your controller with Steam Input.
Played with my Switch Pro controller for the last 3 hours on DOA6. Worked perfectly as expected.
Tempted to try my old ass PS3 fighting stick i got back when SF4 was new.
But unsure if it will work with at one. hmm

I also have problems with my Xbox 360 controller. In my case, the analog stick sometimes doesn't respond at all and my character doesn't move or my inputs don't enter. This is very frustrating when I'm trying to do combos.

The steam input suggestion got me on the right track. Forcing off steam input in the game properties got my controller working properly. Try that if anyone is having issues

Sorry to be a pain, can you outline the steps necessary? I have never had to mess around with this before.

If its using xinput and so on. just making sure you have the xbox option turned on in the big picture mode should cover it.

then again, the game supports it out of the box so you should be good.

There is a couple of places you can do it for sure, mostly in big picture.
Load up big picture mode and connect your controller, you can set what type of controller it is there. That should fix most of the issues.

If not, then you need to have overwrite settings for the game specifically to force it off. So it doesnt use steam input. using it correctly by having it configured or turning it off should fix it.

I'm not, my game won't even grab focus in order to allow buttons to be pressed to go past the title screen.

I refunded the game which is why it says I don't own it, I'll be repurchasing it once my wallet funds become available. In retrospect I should have figured they would issue a fix for this at least some time, and I don't want to miss out on the preoder stuff.

Well the early-bonus is lasting for 2 weeks according to twitter.
This is prob a mixup of steam input and xinput though.

Right click on the game in the library -> properties -> "Steam Input Per-game Setting" set to Forced Off

fixed it for me

CHUCKLES MY MAN, DUDE. That fixed it for me! You are by far THE MVP of this board. BY FAR. Thank you SO much dude. You're the ****ing man! I can't say enough good things about you, so I'll just stop before it gets weird, but thanks once again man.

Tried this and it didn't work for me. No idea why. The game seems to have a habit of working the very first time I plug in my controller, then, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time I try to run the game, it just doesn't read any inputs at all, and I'm just stuck on the intro screen, and I can exactly be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to restart my PC every time I want to play this game. With the lack of community threads talking about this issue to boot, it seems like not that many people are running into this issue, which makes it even tougher to find a reliable fix.

have you try booting the game in big picture and configure your controller in steam overlay, also check if you are using the steam input correctly by checking the buttongs layout and configurations
Also if you are using an emulation program for xinput (like ds4windows or xpadder) try to not using it instead use the raw input, steam should do the rest

Believe me when I say I've exhausted pretty much every possible workaround in an attempt to get my controller to work, and nothing has worked. Shame I can't get it refunded, would of just got it for my PS4 if I did. PC's and controllers just don't go well together.
