I was also able to get it working.

 

  1. I downloaded the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft store
  2. Updated the firmware
  3. Applied Win 11 updates
  4. Removed my controller from Bluetooth devices and added it again

Now it's registering inputs properly. Thank you!

 

 

The game just crashed on my Radeon 6950 XT in the first race anyway.. but that's a different issue. Disappointed

@razoraH Thank you for the post, I'm able to replicate this swapping my controller to Bluetooth and we'll pass it on.


In the meantime, you can get a cable to connect with, you should be able to use the controller that way.

Edit: we separated this out from the PS5 controller issue to help with tracking.

Xbox controller in Need For Speed Unbound PC version

[ Edited ]

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug On the PC version Xbox controller does not work. The game tells me to press A but confirmation is on the menu button. I was trying to navigate to the Controls option in the menu, but I can see only key mapping for the keyboard and not the gamepad. For gamepad, I see two default layouts but the PC version is not picking those up. For example in character creation LB and RB does nothing and Y X B A buttons do the same as arrow keys.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Connecting Xbox wireless pro controller to PC and using it in PC version of the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Gamepad is not working as expected on PC.
What do you expect to see? Same layout as for the XBOX version of the game and as visualised in the game options.

I know that I can use some third-party software to map Xbox inputs to act as windows keys but that is very annoying to me. I need the correct Xbox controller mapping in this game. Now the game is unplayable and I can't even navigate in the menu.

I could get it to work by:

-> updating my XBONE Controller Firmware
-> updating W11 from 21H2 to 22H2 (it has been reported that 22H2 had performance issues - which should be solved by now)

I never encountered such a strange problem and could play other games without issues, but luckily I could get it fixed - also thanks for the tip with wiring the gamepad up may've helped too

regards

@Reality2676 Excellent, thank you for the update. I'm seeing other reports that updates - as laid out excellently here - will help.

@Reality2676 What version of the xbox controller are you using? Also, did you reconnect it before launching the game or during the game? Thank you!

@NachOopschoSix Same issue, except with a new Xbox controller. I had to play wired until the game glitched the starter car and now I cant play any more...
