Why is playing a game on PC+ PC GamePass + Controller so crappy?

FVNKDOOBIEST · Feb 23, 2024

On forza, every time I hit the e-brake it makes the telemetry menu pop up. In rocket league, A is Jump. B is jump & boost. LT is Jump & boost. RT is drive and boost. B is just boost. X is drift & boost. Whenever I’m in the menu it keeps skipping. Instead of selecting each thing down the menu I have to just hope it lands on settings or I gotta use the mouse…. I’m using an Xbox controller. An expensive Elite controller at that. Why is this a thing? Why can’t your own controllers just work on your own app. Is there a subscription I gotta pay for to have my controllers work bug free? Or should I just cancel game pass and stick to steam? Thia is just ridiculous…

Hi FVNKDOOBIEST, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

This is not normal, the controller mapping should work as default.

Please, make sure your Windows is updated:

Then, please, on your computer start bar, search for "Services. msc" and open it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the list and right-click the "Xbox Accessory Management Service"

Select Properties > On this window, change the initialization/startup type to Automatic.

Click OK and restart your computer.

After that, please, try connecting the controller while on the Xbox Accessories App home window.

To download it: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NBLGGH30XJ3

Open it and connect your controller to check for a firmware update.

Let me know if it works!

you need gamepass pc then, so you can't,

Gold for online play on console

Gamepass for gamepass games on console

Gamepass PC for games on pc with ea play attached

Ultimate gamepass - Gold, Gamepass, Gampass PC, EA Play and xcloud.

Farscape247

10 dollars a month for gamepass pc, that also includes ea play (crappy version)

you don't need gold for pc as online if free and you don't need ultimate.

Tezzerrific

does not matter, ultimate is just the following

cloud gaming

gamepass for console

gamepass for pc

ea play

gold

so what you see on pc gamepass is what you get.

PC gamepass is the following

pc gamepass

ea play

gold is not needed for pc and obviously you don't need gamepass console as you are on pc.

there are no games exclusive to ultimate, everything available on gamepass pc and console is the same with or without ultimate.

You would have to install the pc anywhere or the gamepass pc version or remote play a game that supports it

Unless your hardware is older then thqt isn't an option
