xb 360 USB cable controller not working
Figured I would try here too. My controller is working. I can use it to play other games on Steam. When I run Tony Hawks it won't work in the menu.

I heard that the controller might not work in the menu so I just start the game with mouse and keyboard. Can't use the controller in game.

I go to controls. I try to toggle left or right at the top. Keyboard is the only available option.

I heard maybe go to Big Picture. The controller works there I can select the game and use the controller to launch the game. But when I get in, all controller function is dead again and the controller cannot be selected from the control options in game.

Please help.

Not sure if it is similar to my issue SS, but I had a strange situation where my shoulder buttons wouldnt work on my XBox Elite Series 2 controller. After some playing around, I found that disabling V-Sync (and possibly unrestricting the frame limiter?) fixed it (I'm baffled why its would be an issue for a controller - but I will take the win lol).

Hope it helps mate.

Isn't Xbox 360 direct input? I'm pretty sure Unreal 4 is Xinput now.

You can probably use Steams internal controller tool to map it like a Xboner controller instead of trying directly, the game clearly doesn't know what to do with it.

It is mapped correctly. I really don't know what to do here. I guess I need to refund the game. I really can't justify spending money on a new controller just to play this. There isn't even a guarantee the new controller will work anyway. Might be refund time.

Tried that. Thanks for the advice though. I am willing to try anything.

No worries, it was a long shot. Only other suggestion would be to try playing with the Steam Input (enable/disable) and see if that makes any difference, or would check if anything else running in the background on your PC is causing an issue. Trying closing everything you can down and retry. Good Luck!!

360 is the first Xinput-native controller

Original Xbox controllers can also use both Xinput and DirectInput depending on which driver is used.

Whatever problem is happening here isn't strictly because of the controller API.

Apparently this is still an issue in 3+4, oddly enough I didn't have the issue in 1+2
Thanks for the help.
Yup this is my current situation right now, too late for my to refund but the controller worked once before not sure why suddenly it wont. Wont even register my keyboard now

Mas que nada creo que es por el sporte de la pc, verifica si lo conectas en la parte fronta lel pc o atras en la motherboard, avecss eso ayuda mucho, si no, instala un software que si detecte el control e intenta, espero te sirva...

I bought an 8bitdo ultimate2C wukong for like 25 bucks and it is far superior to my xbox 360 controller. That Dpad is amazing
