why won't fifa 23 controller settings save?

Hello Jimmy Mack1,

Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

Based on the description that you are unable to save the settings with your controller using the second account. Let us check on this together and sort this out. Rest assured that we are going to provide enough information on how to resolve your concern in a timely manner.

If you are linking your profile to your controller, you can automatically sign in as soon as you turn on that controller and only one person can link their profile to a controller at a time, so make sure you link a controller that only you use. If you are already linking your first account to that controller, then linking it with another account will not be possible. You can use another controller to link your second account.

To link a controller:

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  
• Go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & PIN.
  
• Select This controller signs in, and then choose Link controller to link the controller you’re using.
  

Assigning an account to your controller:

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  
• Select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.
  
• Select the controller, and then the More options icon (…). Assigned to shows the current account assigned to that controller.
  
• To assign the controller to another account, select Assigned to, and then select the account that you want assigned to the controller. This will pair the controller to this account.
  

For your reference, see: Assign an account to an Xbox Wireless Controller | Xbox Support

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.

Hi

I read the solution offered, followed the instructions but it didn't fix the problem for me, I have two controllers, one signs in an account and the other signs in another account. When I try to play a game with my friend, I can only only change control setting to alternate Alternate and Classic on the other, or Alternate and Alternate, when I try to change one to Custom A or Customer B based on my setting, it changes both controllers to the same setting, I try signing in on the two different accounts to try this, on the second account it doesn't even save the controller settings for the second controller, I wonder if there is a way to fix this? Thanks

Hello N3p0Muk,

Welcome to Xbox Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

We understand that you’re having trouble with the controller settings in FIFA 23. As per description, when changing controller settings to play the game, the settings did not save.

It seems that this is a common issue that many players are experiencing. We found some solutions that might help you fix the problem.

Firstly, you can try configuring the controller on Steam for FIFA 23. Follow the steps to do it:

1. Open Steam and go to Library.
   
2. Right-click on FIFA 23 and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Set Launch Options.
   
4. Type -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -useforcedmparms -useforcedmpaccel in the text box.
   
5. Click OK.
   

Secondly, make sure that there are no other additional controllers connected to your PC.

Thirdly, connect your controller with a USB cable.

Fourth, assign a different account to each controller.

Disconnect your controller and check if there are controllers detected in "Set Up USB Game Controllers".

Right-click on the "FIFA 23" game and open the "Properties" menu. Click on "Controller" and click on "Disable Steam Input". If "Disable Steam Login" is checked, save it as "Enable Steam Login" and check if the problem persists.

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.



We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Yes, and it worked. So did FIFA 23, that's why I'm so confused on this one.
