Controller Rumble Issue (Been through all obvious fixes) - any help would be incredibly...

Try a factory reset. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults

I haven't been able to get the rumble back at all - I am thinking of going to get a new controller, but I fear it may happen again as I think it's a problem with the console not sending the instruction back to the control to tell it to rumble, sounds like
a patch could fix it, but would like to hear if that's intact in the works... especially before I go dump another $60 on a new control.

That's all the obvious suggestions out of the way and the only other thing I can think of at this point would be to have a look through Ubisoft's support forums for the game to see if any similar issues have been reported. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
to you.

Unfortunately, that is the deal breaker for me (inability to turn off controller vibrations).

It doesn't matter how much I want the game because I find the rumble feature to be incredibly annoying and it absolutely ruins my gameplay experience for me

If you truly despise rumble, I would recommend disabling the motors in your controller. You would never have to worry about whether a game has settings to turn it off ever again.

Peace, J.R.

I've tried all the obvious things. Multiple controllers, multiple adapters, multiple headsets, updating controllers, firmware updates, etc etc been through a lot of support mazes and nothing has helped thus far.
