    Xbox One Controller on PC - D-Pad Not Functional

    I am having the same issues on my PC. My Xbox One controller's D-Pad is not recognized when using Far Cry 5. The keyboard buttons work, but the respective D-Pad buttons on the Xbox One controller do not. Please fix the bug.

    Use steam configuration for non-steam Controllers>

    Doing these steps:

    Connect you controller>
    Then open big picture>
    Click far cry 5>
    Manage game>
    Controller options>

    Launch game. Now d-pad should be working.

    Worked like a charm for me.

    Thank you.

    Thanks man! Changing steam configuration for non-steam controllers fixed it!

    I'm not far enough in the game to drive anything - so can't verify if it affects the ability to use left trigger for reverse in vehicles, but now I can use the d-pad!

    ----

    So after seeing so many people with this issue....I tried my Xbox One S controller, and it turns out the steam configuration fix doesn't work for that controller. But if I go back to my original Xbox one controller the dpad does work with this fix.

    So the issue seems tied to Xbox one S controllers and elite controllers (and perhaps other aftermarket controllers).

    Sadly, all this did was make my controller not work at all. Guess I gotta wait for a patch. For reference, I am using a wired Afterglow 360 controller.
