  1. Xbox Controller Issue with Fortnite


    I have this issue using either my Xbox One controller or the the brand new Design Lab controller I just got today (8/22/22) where its recognized and other games like ARK fully recognize the controller, but Fortnite will not... Unless.... I open Device Manager and uninstall both "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" in the Xbox 360 Peripherals category at the bottom, and then restart. If I shut down or restart I have to do the exact same thing to get it to work again.

    Help?

    :)

    Fortnite on xbox is giving my controller double inputs and I don't know how to fix it

    Double inputs on your controller can be frustrating, especially when it affects your gameplay. Here are a few things you can try to fix this issue on Fortnite for Xbox:

    1. Update your controller: Make sure your controller is up to date with the latest firmware updates. You can update your Xbox controller by connecting it to your Xbox console, and then checking for updates in the Settings menu.
    2. Reset your controller: Sometimes, resetting your controller can help fix double input issues. To reset your Xbox controller, hold down the sync button on the back of the controller until the light on the front begins to flash. Then, wait a few seconds and try reconnecting the controller to your Xbox console.
    3. Check your game settings: Double inputs can sometimes be caused by incorrect game settings. Check your Fortnite settings to make sure they are set up correctly. You can also try resetting your in-game settings to default to see if this fixes the issue.
    4. Test a different controller: If you have access to a different Xbox controller, try using it to see if the issue persists. If it does not, the issue may be with your original controller and you may need to replace it.
    5. Reinstall Fortnite: If none of the above solutions work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Fortnite. This can sometimes fix issues with game files and settings.
    Hopefully, one of these solutions will help you fix the double input issue with your Xbox controller on Fortnite.

    I have tried that with the Xbox One Controller, didn't change anything. I'll try updating the newer controller. But I don't think the problem with with the controller, some sort of driver issue.

    Xbox Controller Issue with Fortnite

    Nope, people keep telling me to do the solutions that I told them I already did. There's one strange thing about Fortnite I have noticed that no other game does. On occasion I will have more than one game open. Recently I had Ark open and Fortnite at the same time so I could check on eggs in between matches. But when I was in ark the inputs from the controller was also going to Fortnite. But not the other way around. So I'm guessing Fortnite grabs the inputs from the controller in an unusual way

    Xbox Controller Issue with Fortnite

    Hello again, this is really weird, because the Xbox One controller is fully works on Win 10 and 11, as it plays on PC, has installed Epic Launcher and Fortnite by Epic, ever tried to check the control settings within the game?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello AndrewRFarley, by your description it seems to me that you are playing on PC, however did you come to install the Xbox Accessories App for the Xbox One controls and update the Firmware of the controls?

    If you haven't already, download the App and update the controller.

    Note: Your Windows also needs to be up-to-date with the latest system versions and optional updates on time, plus the installed and updated Xbox and Companion App.
