InauguralOwl659 · Sep 25, 2016

Okay I am having some issues here. Here is what I have tried

Controller works but only 2 parts don't: L and R trigger and the D pad

1 controller: Rock candy

2 controller: Used Xbox 360 Microsoft

The game I am playing to GTA San Andreas, most things work but I would like to set it up in a way the is more fitting. Ideally, I want to use it like I would use it on an Xbox.

Bought 1st controller

Tried to update driver, this is been unsuccessful due to it just keeps looking for updates on the Web.

Tried different ports.

Downloaded Driver from this site. Restarted computer.

Nothing changed.

Bought 2nd

Same issues, tried the same troubleshoot

All I want to do is to Play this fricking game. Please help, I am out of ideas

:)

Sounds strange,, also you shouldn't have needed to install any drivers, Windows would have downloaded the correct driver automatically.

Keep in mind this is the official PC version of the Xbox 360 controller right ?

Because the Xbox 360 wired console controllers wont work or third party controllers that are not PC x-input compatible will not work either. The only other Xbox 360 console controller that works with Windows is the standard wireless controller provided you
buy the official wireless adapter for PC's.

If your certain you have proper PC compatible controllers there is a tool on Steam called Controller Companion that allows you to remaps buttons but that might not help if they aren't working in the first place.

Also go into the control panel and search for devices and printers, in there it should list any controllers, right click and select properties, in here you can test and calibrate the controller which might help.

Lastly if you can return the x360 controllers and buy an xbox one controller instead, all PC games these days now use the xbox one button labels (start/select is gone) and on top of that all official xbox one controllers are PC compatible, just connect via
USB cable and your set.

Are you sure the Xbox 360 is a wired Xbox 360 controller, and not connected by a separate cable like the play and charge cable? If it is the play and charge cable, it will not work on Windows 10, as it only charges the batteries on a PC. If it is a actual
wired controller, then Windows 10 should detect and then download the drivers if needed.

More info on connecting a 360 controller to a PC can be found here

Hi,

Both wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers work on Windows 10. Wired is just plug and play while wireless controllers need a receiver. I know 360 controllers work as I've used them on my own gaming PC running the latest version of Win 10.

Im having the same problem, where my wired xbox 360 controller which works with windows 10 is not being read by world war z, anyone found a solution? I don't think you can update a wired xbox 360 controller. Works fine with all other windows 10 games except
World war z

I have a VERY similar issue... i think you are talking about a wired 360 controller, but I am more specifically talking about a wired 360 guitar (controller). mine also is recognized by windows 10 as a 360 controller (not a guitar), and despite everything I do with them (i have 2)... it will not work on my xbox 1 x through windows 10 (and the xbox companion app built into windows 10). I was able to get my xbox 1 wired regular controller to work using windows 10. if you find an answer, please let me know, it will likely fix my issue as well, even though my issue is slightly different
