    Windows 10 - This worked for me! Thank you so much, my controller was bugging out and certain buttons were wrong. For example, my A button also pressed B, and my left and right stick buttons were also hitting Select and Start.
    Thank you so much for the fix. 3 years later this video is still very useful!!!

    Disabling both worked for me. My Logitech 3d Pro, Shield and XBox One controllers where recognized by windows 10 and testings worked flawlessly, but did not work in-game in any game or emulator. This tip fixed it. Thank you.

    Thanks for the useful video, sorted out my issue which was the 3dconnexion joystick with the xbox 360 controller causing the problem. Disabling the 3dconnection as an HID game controller sorted it!

    @sirxlolavarria Před 8 lety

    I am trying to use my 360 controller (wired) on some Steam games, and I followed exactly what you did for my Windows 7, but the controller is still not functioning. The driver is reading the controller and the controller itself has the P1 green light on, yet the buttons are not working. The controller works fine on my home console so I do not know what is wrong. This is pretty frustrating Brandon, what should I do?

    windows 10 users:
    go to the device manager -> right click for properties on xbox game controller device or whatever (disable the controller first) -> update driver -> choose manually -> choose the 2009 one, not the new one from 4/2018 -> uninstall the driver *A BOX WILL COME UP THAT YOU CHECK TO UNINSTALL DRIVER IMPORTANT* --> it will reinstall the old driver, and then the new driver as soon as you plug the controller back in.
    for some reason when you uninstall the new driver it doesn't give you that box to actually uninstall it, i believe it just "ejects the controller" from being loaded and ready to use, like a flash drive, but it doesn't uninstall the driver with the new one for some reason.... you can't just uninstall the system file either, as apparently it's part of a greater system file for windows. for me personally, this was a wired official xbox 360 remote

    [SOLVED] In the Device Manager window, locate your USB gaming controllers (not in xbox perepheral. Its under Universal Serial Bus > ....3.0) and right click over them. Select Properties.
    Finally, in the Properties window, switch to Power Management tab and uncheck the option Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Click OK.
    Close Device Manager.

I'm supposed to play using player 1 but keeps changing to player 2 everytime I play rocket league. Does anyone can help me identify the problem of my controller?

And sometimes when I'm in the middle of the match my controller messed up again. :( It would be helpful if anyone could help me out. Thank you!

    • @lucasmedon2095
      @lucasmedon2095 Před 8 lety +4

      +Guillaume Beaudry so I found out that if you have a wireless rechargable controller, even if it has a wire connected, it is not enough to be considered "wired." The only way this will seamlessly work is if you are one of the few people to still have an old white permanently wired controller. There is a driver to dl on your pc and it should work. Any other controller wireless or wireless with a charging wire must be run through an adapter which you can purchase for like 15 bucks and then a slightly different driver. In short unless you have an old wired controller it will never work without purchasing an adapter. Or say the 59.99 steam controller. Very dissapointing.

    • @guillaumebeaudry3793
      @guillaumebeaudry3793 Před 8 lety

    @Valentineskidd Před 9 lety

    Hi there.
    I tried this and unfortunately it didn't work for me.
    I recently got myself an Xbox controller for PC so I could play games on steam a little easier but I've run into a problem. It seems that whenever I go to do an action (In the case of Sonic Adventures DX attacking and enemy, or in the case of Batman Arkham Asylum ziplining up to a ledge, to name a couple of examples) the game will totally freeze and I have to Task manager out of the game. But even then it still leaves me with a black box covering most of my screen so I have to restart my computer.
    On closer inspection, when this happens and I un-plug the controller the game will un-freeze and play as normal. And so far this has happened on every game that has controller support on my Steam library.
    Could anyone help me? What could be causing this? As far as I know the software for it is all up to date so no issues there.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      @TheWizardshit  Před 9 lety

      Few questions, when you say 'won't turn on' you mean when you plug it into the computer it won't turn on or when its plugged into the xbox it wont turn on?
      If it wont turn on when its plugged into the computer, well is it a wireless controller that you are hooking up via charging cable? If so it doesn't work, you need an actuall wired controller for it too work.

      I've been searching for a solution and the best one I found is to sign out (they say restart buy sign out works just fine) unplug your controller plug it back THEN sign in. I tried all other methods online and none worked for me.
