Fix for controllers for farcry new dawn and farcry 5
THIS SHOULD FIX FOLLOWING CONTROLLERS " XBOX360, XBOX ONE, DUALSHOCK 4" , SO THEY WORK PROPERLY IF GAME PURCHASED THROUGH STEAM:
Must follow exactly. This is a UPLAY / STEAM conflict. What you’ll see is that when you load the game with STEAM the bindings for some buttons disappear somehow inside the game thus there is no Reverse, Ascend, or Descend for vehicles. Do this and it should work and the only way I have gotten the buttons to work:
1) Go to Steam Big Picture Mode and go to Controller settings.
2) UN -CHECK all boxes so there are NO controllers checked. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT AND MUST BE DONE
3) Completely EXIT and CLOSE Steam.
4) Open UPLAY.
5) Have controller plugged into PC Select game and LAUNCH.
" Use Xbox 360, Xbox One, or Dualshock4 controller ".
6) Play game!
7) PLEASE RESPOND THAT IT HAS WORKED ON THIS FORUM TO HELP OTHERS SEE!!
NOTE: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller not Supported!! I could not get to function.
NOTE: STEAM CONTROLLER NOT TESTED. SORRY I DO NOT HAVE ONE.
If the above directions followed, the controller and all buttons will work. What you are doing is loading the game from UPLAY. As you will see UPLAY will then Launch the desired game through Steam but with NO CONTROLLERS SELECTED IN STEAM CONTROLLER SETTINGS, the game will play with the UPLAY and Farcry game being played default controller settings and will bind the buttons correctly. I trust and hope this helps everyone with the controller issues.
