I need help with my USB gamepad/controller for dark souls III

[Adam]

Hey guys, yesterday i bought a game controller from the brand havit from the local electronic shop; model: hv-68.It works with some games like attack on titan even though the button mapping is mixed, but i handle it.Yet my problem comes when i want to play dark souls 3.I start the game and it just doesn't recognize the controller, i can still use my mouse and keyboard but not my controller.I downloaded the xbox 360 emulator and put the ''dll'' files in the game directory and it still doesn't work.Can anyone help me?

Buy a proper controller, the XBox 360 one or XBox One one.

Don't buy crap if you broke. Buying cheap is buying twice.

The offical wired X-Box 360 pad isnt that expensive. I have it 3 years and is still like new. Built durable like a russian tank.

How much did it cost in your country?Here its 55$, considering the fact that the minimum wage is 190$ it's expensive, at least for me.The one that i bought was like 15$ which was my ''kind of a present'' for christmas from my dad...

The 360 pad is about $20 here in the UK and we pay though our arses in tax.

The pad you bought probably uses Direct Input, which was the main controller API on Windows before X-Input became the standard.

Your pad will work on older games fine, (original Xbox, PS2 era) but to use it on newer games you'll probably have to use Xpadder or something to emulate an X-Input device.

I downloaded the ''Xppader'' thing but when i open it it shows blank canvas and i can't do anything with it, not even close it.I don't think the problem is with the controller being with the old controller API because i run attack on titan and it runs well considering it's a new game.Any other solutions?

You know i can always start a kickstarter project?It's a solution right?Right ;(?

Attack on Titan uses some very very old technology. The graphics API used is from 2004. It wouldn't surprise me if it was using D-Input.
