360 Controller Not Being Detected?

[Darlan]

Is anyone else having difficulty getting Borderlands GOTY to detect the 360 controller? I've updated the drivers and all of my other controller-compatible games control fine with the controller, but this game just doesn't respond to any input at all. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes i have the same problem. It appears to be only us as no one else seems to have the same trouble.

I am running XP SP3 and my computer easily matches up to specifications but it still does not work. I am sorry i cant help you either :(

Am rather pissed off, i purchased this game with the intention of using my controller and it doesn't even notice it...

It is not in any way a problem with the game it works just fine with the XBox 360 wired and wireless controllers. Although I have not tried the game with Windows XP because I would never run a 10 year old OS for any reason what so ever the game does run just fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64 on all three of my rigs. I would say to make sure you are running the latest USB controller drivers for your motherboard and that the XBox 360 controller is being detected correctly.

mine works it's just that the buttons don't show up properly

No Xbox 360 detection for me either.... Win 7, All other games run fine....

Interestingly enough, I got Borderlands 2 in the sale this weekend and it works fine with a controller.

Right on! :)
This is a thread on the borderlands 1 GOTY edition ;)
I did find a solution for myself, it seems to only detect my gamepad if I power on the controller AFTER the game has been loaded. Its worth mentioning, I think, that my reciever for my controller is a cheaper knock off, not Microsoft brand...
Could be the whole issue ;)

I know, I started it. :) Thanks though, I'll try that next time I install BL1.

Hope it works for you, BL1 is still awesome enough to play while owning BL2 ;)
Maybe see you in game :)

Mine responds to the input, but the game still shows all the keyboard bindings whenever I use it. Also the auto-aim doesn't seem to work at all. Do you guys have that problem?
