    Xbox Elite 2 Controller right thumbstick adding split-screen to games


    I was trying to play some offline Rocket League and every time I push in the right thumbstick to look behind me, it adds a split-split screen to the game as if someone else connected another controller and pressed "start." A quick search shows that this happens in other split-screen-enabled games (like FIFA). Is there a way to fix this? I am using the Elite 2 controller connected via Bluetooth to Windows 10 Pro and both are the most up-to-date. Any help would be appreciated because it's impossible to contact anyone for help from Microsoft. I just purchased this and I'm hoping that I didn't spend this much money on something with such a glaring bug that makes it useless for actual game-play. I know that you can wire it and it will be fine but I purchased a wireless controller so I don't want the wires. Also, purchasing a $25 dongle (that's sold out here anyway) doesn't make sense when you just purchased a $150+ controller. Is there a way to fix this without buying more things or did I waste my money on an official controller when I could've gotten a SCUF instead? I'm really just hoping someone actually sees this and does a search and realizes it's a big problem for many people and just fixes the bug but if anyone has any information on how to fix it, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

    :)

    I just tried it myself, and it also does nothing for me. Thank you for pointing it out, I will send that feedback back to get it corrected.

    I did get it to tell me that there was a revert on my controller, and I am re-updating it.

    Try connecting the controller via USB-C and clicking on the link in the support page. Click "Update now", see if it forces it to revert. Then close the app and click on the link again and see if you see a message behind the controller picture saying "there was a reverted firmware" or something similar to that.

    Do you have an Xbox console? Or a friend who may have one? Originally that was the only way to revert the firmware, it may be the easiest way.

    Yes, I did so with the same controller, through Bluetooth (no Wireless Adapter or cable) and played in offline mode, freeplay / training.

    You can also try uninstalling / reinstalling the game to see if that forces an update/fix in the game. If not, if you believe the controller may be an issue you can try reverting the firmware to see if that helps. Here are the instructions on reverting controller firmware: My Xbox controller has connection issues after the last update | Xbox Support

    Hello aireck,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Xbox Community Forum. We hope all is well.

    Before you begin troubleshooting any of the following problems, first verify that you have the latest version of Windows and that all Windows updates are complete: How to get software and driver updates for Windows devices

    Second, make sure your controller is up to date using the Xbox Accessories app. To open the Xbox Accessories app on Windows 10/11, press the Start button, type Xbox Accessories or choose it from the list, and then sign in. If the app isn’t installed on your PC, get it here: Microsoft Store. You will need to plug in your controller to the PC using the USB-C cable in order for the app to detect the controller and perform necessary updates.

    You can adjust your settings and bind certain buttons while in the Xbox Accessories app. Once the controller is up to date, try running the Rocket League game again, and see if you continue to have issues. If you do, please check the Gamepad controls in the game settings.

    Regards,

    Hayabusa

    Nothing I tried worked. I tried downgrading through Xbox console, through the link sent (that did nothing), and tried upgrading through the Xbox Accessories app on PC. Nothing worked. I didn't try the official dongle, which might work. But I don't want to spend another $25 on something I shouldn't need in the first place. I end up just playing wired or just don't push the right thumbstick until you're in a match. If you're in a match, it'll work correctly and show behind you instead of adding a person. Because of this, I'm thinking it could be a problem with the game itself. I haven't tried giving feedback for the bug to Epic/RL itself. Maybe try putting in a ticket with them directly?
