    Xbox 360 controller problems!

    Hi there,

    I am trying to play farcry 4 with my xbox 360 controller.

    My game is up to date with all the latest updates everything runs perfect apart from when i start the game i can use my controller at the very first screen to proceed to the main menu, but when i try and click new game it will not work? the game recognises that the controller is plugged in and shows me the options "A" to start new game etc.. but no buttons are responding when i click them.. is there anything i can do about this???

    Thanks alot all help is very much appreciated!

    I have exactly the same issue. I don't have the problem with Assassins Creed Unity which of course is also loaded from the same Ubisoft games manager. But with Far Cry 4, it detects that a controller is present and shows what A and B do etc, but nothing actually works.

    This is so annoying.. I have never had any problems with any other game whatsoever ACU also works perfect with a controller for me. I have tried numerous controllers including wired and wireless.. still nothing.

    Count me in also. The only way to make it work is to disable my G27 wheel in device manager. Then it work fine.

    Do you guys happen to have another USB peripheral like a wheel or another controller plugged in at the same time?

    its a 360 game pad problem, have to unplug mine and back in again to get the game to work properly, this goes on throughout the game, having to do it for missions to load in. I also have to unplug my logitech wheel for the game to work.

    I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!

    hey guys, i finally got my controller to work!

    what i did was.

    Went to Control Panel - Device Manager
    scrolled down to my devices under "Human Interface Devices"
    I found an joystick/controller application that i used for my iphone to control my pc about a year ago called "Jumi Joystick".
    this was clashing with my xbox 360 controller..
    it didn't give me the option to disable the device so i went to Computer - Local Disk (C - Windows - System 32 - Drivers.
    i found the driver and deleted it manually. It still shown up on my device manager as working and still there so i restarted my computer went back to device manager and noticed it hadn't gone but its got an exclamation mark next to it in the yellow box.
    This told me that the driver was unable to work so i tried far cry 4 and it worked perfectly..

    I dont know if you guys have installed Jumi or any other kind of controller previously but this worked for me.

    Let me know if you havent got Jumi but have some other kind of controller and i will try my best to help you guys out!

    Thanks for the help anyway guys.
