Game controller not detected

4.5

The game does not respond to your gamepad or controller.

Symptoms
  • No input in game
  • Controller works in Windows but not game
  • Wrong button prompts
Possible Causes
  • Driver issues
  • Steam Input conflict
  • Unsupported controller

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Enable Steam Input

In Steam settings, ensure "Xbox/PlayStation Configuration Support" is on.

2

Try Wired Connection

Bluetooth can be unreliable; test with a USB cable.

3

Use DS4Windows

For PlayStation controllers on non-Steam games, use a wrapper tool.

When to See a Technician

Ensure no other "Virtual Joysticks" (like vJoy) are active, as they can override your real controller.
