PC-Controller not working on MCC (help)

[Rallam]

Hi all,
my problem is that Halo isn't receiving any input from my controllers no matter which ones i use. But my controllers work perfectly with other games on steam and other programs, so it would seem that Halo refuses to acknowledge my controller exists somehow.

Has anyone else ran into a similar problem? I'm hoping it's glaringly obvious and it's just going right over my head since this is infuriating me.

Thanks everyone

It's a sign that you should be using mouse and keyboard. If I were to use a controller to play Halo, i would've bought a console.

Try running the game in steam big picture mode and enable the controller configuration

I didn't think i'd have to since the rest of the games don't need it but i'll give it a shot.

Can you give us more information? What kind of controllers are you using? Do you use Steam Controller settings for your controllers? I use Steam to configure a DualShock 4 to work as a 360 controller; is your goal something like that?

Don't listen to the KB/M elitists. The only time Mouse input has a specific advantage in Halo is when you get in a vehicle. I switch to mouse whenever I use a turret, ghost, banshee, etc. because their maximum turning speed is usually capped on controller. Halo was built for a controller so it still feels pretty natural using one on PC. With Steam, you can also configure the gyro controls to accept motion input, which works nicely for small adjustments at long ranges

Go to steam in top left of steam window. then settings.
Then controller
then go to general controller settings.
open it and enable all the checkboxes except for "guide button" if you dont want it.
Then restart steam and try again?

Okay, so i mainly now use a dualshock 4 from Scufgaming. I've downloaded the DS4 windows app to have it used, it basically emulates the controller as x360 for programs and you use it as you see fit. So with that loaded, for example i'll fire up Witcher 3. Press a button on controller it'll default straight to controller settings, prompts etc as it would. Same with Borderlands 3.

However, with Halo MCC, i load it and it doesnt recieve any input at all or atleast doesnt want to acknowledge it is. So i grabbed my xbox one controller and plugged it in using the play n charge cable but again it did nothing.

I've looked up on youtube how others have gotten controller of PS4 to work and they just fire up DS4Windows and boom it works, i've tried forcing steam controller config on AND off. Still nothing, i'm just about to test it with big game mode on see if it registers, but i doubt it.

I use Dualshock 4 from scufgaming with ds4windows or i just plug in the xbxone one controller. Niether work with HALO MCC.

I have just done this and about to test it but i noticed that its not reading a controller has been plugged in even though on othergames the game will register my dualshock 4 with ds4 windows and use it. something there perhaps?

Well, developments have happened, it appears that with the xbox one play n charge kit cable, it would not work in recognising there is even a controller there. However, if i use my other cable from scuf for my ps4 controller, it would recognise it. So i can now use the xbox one controller, however still no look with dualshock 4 for some reason.

that's because Windows likes to make sure nothing but Xbox controllers work out of the box

More like developers design games around Xinput. And Xbox controllers are one of the few controllers that use Xinput.

Also, OP: You don't need DS4Windows these days. Steam's PS4 controller support does the same thing.
