Pc Reads Game Controller but Games Do Not

  • #1
I am losing my heed right at present. I recently downloaded CODE VEIN and it is meant to be used with a controller. I thought that would exist no big deal so I grabbed my Nintendo switch wired controller and waited for information technology to kick upwards. The controller was not sending inputs to the pc. I cheque to brand certain that the PC is detecting the controller and it is. The computer merely cant read the inputs. I wondered if it was the controller and so I swapped to my DS4 and got the same result. If anyone knows how or why this would happen that would exist amazing. it isnt a steam issue, it is a windows or me error.

Windows 10?

Try running the built-in troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may find and ready something.

"WIN" + "I" > Update & Security > Troubleshoot

Besides cheque the Gaming options

open steam, discover your game there, correct click it and select backdrop
at lesser of general tab, change steam input setting to force on
then become to main steam settings and go to controller settings, it should open up in big moving picture fashion. your controller should appear there if its continued. make sure guide push focuses on steam is selected, and so check for appropriate check box for your controller (xbox/ps/etc)
then u tin can get back and close it
then enter game

open steam, find your game there, right click it and select properties
at bottom of general tab, modify steam input setting to strength on
so go to main steam settings and become to controller settings, information technology should open in big picture mode. your controller should appear there if its continued. make sure guide button focuses on steam is selected, and then cheque for advisable check box for your controller (xbox/ps/etc)
and so u can go back and close it
and then enter game
Didn't work. Like I said, even in the windows controller thing information technology recognizes it and will attempt to utilise it but when I calibrate 0 inputs go through. I practice non think information technology is a steam event.

I dont know if this helps at all but it just confuses me more. On Steam BPM I can press a button on the controller and the buttons on BPM will modify at the lesser but will not actually use the inputs of the buttons. Information technology knows the controller is working and refuses to accept it. It's taunting me at this indicate

Windows ten?

Endeavour running the built-in troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may detect and gear up something.

"WIN" + "I" > Update & Security > Troubleshoot

Too check the Gaming options

I am losing my mind correct now. I recently downloaded CODE VEIN and it is meant to exist used with a controller. I thought that would be no large bargain so I grabbed my Nintendo switch wired controller and waited for it to boot up. The controller was not sending inputs to the pc. I check to brand certain that the PC is detecting the controller and it is. The computer just cant read the inputs. I wondered if it was the controller so I swapped to my DS4 and got the same issue. If anyone knows how or why this would happen that would be amazing. information technology isnt a steam issue, it is a windows or me mistake.
Are the switch controllers compatible with steam? I've always used Xbox ones and so take no idea.
