    How to make Uplay detect controller

    Uplay is not detecting my PowerA Xbox 360 controller. When I launch Far Cry 5 through steam as you all know the D-Pad doesn't work, I can't reverse in vehicles, and I can't descend in helicopters. If you go to the gamepad settings it shows that there isn't anything even binded to reverse in vehicle or descend in helicopter. However, when I launch through Uplay it does show things binded to them, but it isn't detecting my controller. My Question is how do I make Uplay detect my PowerA Xbox 360 controller?

    Hello CHillonCHegory. Thanks for reaching out with this issue you're having with your controller! PowerA controllers are a third party-type controller, and they aren't listed under our supported controllers list. This means that why they can work, they aren't guaranteed. Do you happen to have any official Microsoft Xbox controllers that you can test with?

    Yeah I just got an Xbox Series controller and it works, I just wanted to see if there was any way to make the other one work to as my friend has the same one but he can't do any of the things I listed above, I'll just have to tell him to buy a supported one I guess. I can at least thank you for showing me which ones do work.

    Thanks for letting me know that your other controller worked, CHillonCHegory! I hope your friend finds the list useful, and that you do as well! Please let me know if either of you have any further questions.

    Welcome to the forums as well, e28Shrek. I'm sorry to hear that your controller isn't working for Far Cry 5, however! What kind of Xbox One S controller is it?
