    Controller not working on a specific game after connected to the console


    My brother connected my controller to his console (Xbox Series S), after that no matter how many times I connect and reconnect my controller to my computer, it doesn't work. I also tried system restore to restore to a date that it worked but no luck, it tisn't related to my pc. The game is Honkai Star Rail, also I have another game of same developers and it works fine with my controller, the problem is only with that game. I also re-installed the game, deleted the game restarted and installed again, but still no luck. Also to remove my controller from the xbox series s I only could press the reconnect button on the controller for 3 seconds, so is there anything else I can do? I just want it to get fixed

    :)

    Controller not working on a specific game after connected to the console

    Hi Malzomen, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    Based on the information you have provided, the issue is likely due to incorrect controller settings in the Honkai Star Rail game.

    When you connected your controller to the Xbox Series S console, it may have been set to use "Xbox" game mode. This game mode is the default for Xbox controllers and is designed to work with Xbox consoles. However, some games may not be compatible with "Xbox" game mode.

    To check your controller's gaming mode, follow these steps:

    -Connect your controller to your computer.
    -Open the Control Panel.
    -Click on "Hardware and Sound".
    -Click on "Devices and Printers".
    -Right click on your controller and select "Properties".
    -In the "General" tab, look at the "Game Mode" section.

    If your controller's game mode is set to "Xbox", try changing it to "PC".
    To do this, follow these steps:

    In the "General" tab, click the "Change game mode" button.
    Select "PC."
    Click "OK."

    either

    To activate or deactivate Game Mode:

    -Press the Home button , type Settings in the search box, and select Settings.
    -Choose Games > Game Mode.
    -Turn game mode to On or Off.

    I hope the information I gave you has been useful, have a happy day.

    Xbox not recognising a keyboard and mouse as a second controller in fortnite

    I downloaded the game here on my console and after trying it a few times I managed to make it work as follows.

    Start the game with the keyboard and mouse connected to the console and the controller turned off, I connected the account I wanted as a player and this account was connected to the keyboard and mouse.

    Then I turned on the controller and the option to press Y and connect the second account appeared. After that start a game to check if it was working and it worked

    Controller

    On your PC you can use anything you want to connect any controller to your PC.

    As long as the controller uses the DirectPlay interface, it will work in basically all modern games.

    However, it might be that you don't see the specific button labels in games. So the game will probably tell you to "Press Button [Number]" instead of "Press Cross" or "Press Triangle"

    The Xbox consoles can't work with software to connect non-Xbox controllers to the console.

    Mic doesn't work thru Chatpad

    I am having the same issue. I got my chatpad after the Nov 2015 update so I'm not sure if it is related to that or not. Apparently it is not game specific because I have issues with F1 2015. My controller (new 3.5mm mic plug) is USB connected to the console
    on the left side. Chatpad into the controller and Microsoft 3.5mm mic into the chatpad. All updates applied and if I unplug the chatpad and use the mic directly into the comtroller, it works fine.

    Only Xbox Home button working

    This happened to one of my controllers after the February controller update. Only home button works if connected via wireless, when I hold the home button the only option that pops up is to turn off console, as if the controller is not even connected. When
    I connect via USB everything works fine.
