Hello!

I recently got a new xbox series S controller to play on my Computer! i have updated the driver and it is working fine, for the most part.

It works in rainbow six siege as well as forza horizon 4. but other games like Need for speed heat, payback and most wanted 2012 or dirt rally 1 as well as f1 2019 don't recognize it at all!

If anyone has a solution i'd be grateful.

Note: My windows 10 as well as my controller are up to date and the controller has no problems

    Hello Eduard.St! I'm sorry if the solutions provided didn't work. In that case apply the following steps below on those games that has issues with your controller.

    Solution 1 - Run Windows App Troubleshooter:

    Windows Key+X > Click Settings > Click Update & security > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down to the bottom > Click Windows Store Apps > Click Run the Troubleshooter

    Solution 2 - Check for game Updates in MS Store Hub (three dots at top right of Store app) > Downloads & Updates.

    Solution 3 - Try to Reset or Repair the game

    Go to Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > [Name of game] > Advanced Options > Reset or Repair. Restart PC.

    Sincerely,

    Louie
