[SOLVED] Fix my XBOX Wireless Controller and win 3 games of your choice

bump

Try using the xbox 360 controller emulator so you can play games correctly.
I know it's probably not the best solution, but I can't think of what it can be.

The only reason (besides being cheaper) why I bought the wired controller is not having to go thru all of the complications and replacement of batteries. The cable is more than enough in length and it works perfectly.

Do you have xpadder running in the background constantly? My buddy had similar problems, but when he closed x-padder for games that support Xbox 360 controllers natively, it was fine.

bump for new stuff

Try uninstalling Psychonauts, maybe has to do with that if that's what started it.

Is your controller a legit one (from Microsoft) or a custom from another company ?

Where did you take your drivers from ? It is possible you did not take the good ones

2 possibles Issues

• Xpadder
• XBox controller driver

Ensure that Xpadder is closed, no process running in the background
Uninstall driver before reinstall, on delete device, check the box that says "Uninstall driver"

for more help, I should remote debug

Hmmm... Maybe something else is set as the main controller, that why you'r xbox controller dosen't work in games. You should check what device are connected to the system. I think that some virtual controller is set as the main controller in games. You sholde sherch for it in Device Menager (i don't know what english nam for it is), and in HID device should be your device (must be power on), and maybe there is some other device that got the same name.
BTW. Do your guide button work? It's showing controller nr. 1?

Do you have anything else (such as a wireless phone) that uses the same signal as the 360 controller and might be interfering with it? Or have you recently moved some furniture or something, such as a metal filing cabinet near your PC? Probably, not the issue, but it's certainly possible.

Edit: The guy above me posted before I finished typing, lol, ninja'd.

maybe try reinstalling the games...

Try changing USB ports? I mean it's unlikely, but I've seen weirder things...

I had a problem where mine wouldn't work with Super Meat Boy for a while. It happened right after I added a Logitech wireless keyboard and desktop set. I was able to fix it by going into the Control Panel, noticing that an extra generic gamepad input device had been added, then disabling it (I had to do a few tests to make sure it was the right one as it was nondescript).

I might be able to give more info once I get home and can give you the exact name of what I disabled.

Weird.
The 360 controller is your only connected controller, right? I've heard of people having issues if they have more than one controller connected.

Maybe your controller needs to be calibrated. Go to the control panel when your controller is connected. Look under Hardware and sound.
After that click on view devices and printers. Right click Gamepad for Xbox 360(may be different for wireless controller).Click on Game controller settings. A new window should pop up click on properties. Then click on the settings tab in the window that appears after you click on properties. There should be a button that says Calibrate so click on that, then follow the on screen instructions. This worked for my wired controllers in the past so I'm unsure if it would work for Wireless controllers. This probably won't work, but might you might as well try.

i had to update my driver manually to even make the controller work for my pc (same ios as yours) if you want i can give you them so you can try to update them manually too, i dont have the page where i get them from because it was 2 years ago but i can upload them to any host you want and try that

Do the controller work if you start the game directly from the EXE in BL2 folder?

This one totally worked for me:
Sell it and buy a wired controller :)

Wired controllers are your best bet, I use one all the time and all games seem to be okay with that.

This is a driver problem. With the controller plugged in:

Open Device Manager. Start, Right click on Computer> Manage. Find your controller, and right click it, and click properties.

In the window that opens up, go to the Driver tab and Uninstall the drivers. There will a box that asks if you want to completely delete the driver files. Select yes. Unplug the controller, restart your computer, and plug it back in. Let Windows Update completely reinstall drivers.

Do you have access to another PC to check if that's not a problem with the controller itself?
Edit: just noticed Update 1.
