Title: Controller Issues
Post by: Jidairo on September 09, 2015, 07:59:45 pm

The game refuses to acknowledge my controller, can't do anything with it. I'm using a USB Xbox 360 playing on the final release. I've tried recalibrating and checking audio/joystick tab.

Just gonna throw it out there that I am considering using a program to map mouse and other controls to it for ease of setup, if you want to just recommend something for that, it is appreciated.

Did you select it in the launcher?

There's also a mouse script (not sure if it's still working) for FSO.

Yes, I did select it in the launcher.
Mouse script? Do you mean the ingame option for using your mouse to control the ship?

Try going to control panels > Devices and Printers. Right click on your gamepad and choose Game Controller Settings > Advanced. Ensure that your gamepad is the preferred device for older programs. That has been known to help in the past.

No, there's a script that allows your mouse to act in a joystick-like manner.  Link in my signature.  But do check what karajorma said first.
