So I got a XBox 360 controller to play Dark Souls (apparently that's the only way to play it), but the buttons are all messed up!
A is X and B is Y, and the triggers aren't doing what they are supposed to either. Even the Start button doesn't do what it's supposed to.
I downloaded the latest driver from Microsoft's site, the controller connects with no hassle, but the button mapping is FUBAR :(
anybody else have this problem before? so far not even Google has been of any help :confused:
Remove the drivers, restart and then plug it in
yeah so far it looks like a reinstall is my only option leftQuote:

....ok, I'll try thatQuote:

The controller and receiver were working fine before then, but after disconnecting it and plugging it back in, it has stopped working.
The light on the receiver isn't on. The pc doesn't detect the hardware. I have removed and reinstalled drivers many times. Tried other pcs and other USB ports. Nothing seems to fix it. The controller still works but it's useless right now as it can't connect to anything.
Any ideas?
got that once as well. the receiver light was off, then I press it's search button, the light begins to blink, and soon as i press the signal button on the controller the receiver light just goes off again and the controller won't connect.Quote:

Lucky you. I've tried everything except taking the receiver apart.Quote:

Anyway...
Anyone got any other ideas? I miss Dark Souls, F1 2012 and Dirt: Showdown.
Do I need to buy a new receiver?
can you not maybe borrow someone else's receiver to test it?Quote:

1) When you hit the search button on the receiver, make sure to press the sync button on the controller itself (next to LB, iirc) as well
2) There is a known problem with the fuse in the receiver going bad, and can be fixed by bridging the gap where the fuse is. You'd have to google this for more info, as I can't recall recall the specifics.
it's a lot cheaper than going to buy a new one only to find out it's a system/software problemQuote:

Good luck.
This may prove useful:
SourceQuote:
Go to the start menu and search for device manger and it should come up. What you're looking for is most likely under the tab human interface device, right click on the option you want to disable ( in our case hid-compliant game controller) and there should be an option to disable it . After you disable it restart your computer, and, hopefully , the button mapping will return to normal.
not 100% sure how that'll work, but at this stage I'll try anythingQuote:

sadly no, it just asked me to install the drivers again, windows can't find it's own drivers for it :(Quote:

It installed the drivers fine but it looks like my controller won't sync with it.
Any ideas?
not even with a force sync?Quote:

I've uninstalled all drivers and I'm busy restarting the pc.
Gonna let Windows manually install drivers and see if it works.
I think I had to unplug the receiver after the drivers installed, and then it sync'd after plugging it back inQuote:

The controller lights are still just flashing but the receiver's light is solid.

If I try to manually update the Controller's drivers, I get a Code 10 error.
