    Controller stopped working in For Honor

    It's an Xbox controller. The controller works fine in other games and even the steam dashboard. The controller won't switch over from keyboard mode. When I press the 'xbox' button the screen will flash three times and that's all. No other input is recognized. This happened before and I ended up having to restart For Honor multiple times before it started working again.

    Hi ragindrunk! Did you set up the controller as a Steam controller in the controller config in Big Picture Mode? If so, please disable the Xbox configuration support:

    Big Picture -> Settings -> Controller Settings -> remove the checkmarks from xbox/ps4 configuration support

    If this is not the issue, please open a ticket at https://support.ubi.com . Log in, scroll down, and click Contact Customer Support to create a case and our tech support agents will investigate for you. Thank you!

    Is this an issue that is being worked on?
    Personally I only use the BPM to fix the sensitivity of my gamepad sticks, but I know that other players also like the option to rebind keys. If BPM is interfering with the game, is For Honor getting these functionalities or is something done to stop the issue?

    This is being investigated by the team! You can also try the following if you're using a Steam controller:

    1. Close the game

    2. Use Steam controller configuration:

    3. Go to Big Picture mode, select For Honor and [Manage Game]->[Controller Configuration]->[Browse Configs]->[Recommended]->[Official FOR HONOR steam controller Configuration]->[Apply Configuration]

    That was it. I wanted to try adjusting my sensitivity on my analog stick. Is there another way to do that?

    I have a similar issue but i don't use Steam, only uplay, buttons on xbox one controller (with cable) stop working, for example, lock-on auto disengages when i keep pressing the button. I have to quit the game to fix it but it's only temporary. I think I saw other people complain in other forums about this so it's not the controllers fault.

    I have the EXACT same issue. And this was still a problem a year ago? This game has been out for over a god damn year, it should at LEAST be playable???

    Hey Andrex_145, do you have any overlays on when this happens? Can you try verifying files? (Uplay, Steam)
