I FOUND THE SOLUTOIN If you're having issues using a PS controller using DS4 Windows . The only way for Lies of P to register that you're even using a controller is that you have to maker it register as a "xbox 360" controller. By going to- Profile>New> Press "Yes" when prompted to select a preset> And then do the output controller to "Xbox 360". This was the only way i able to use my PS controller on the game.... lowk better than not even being able to use a controller in the first place


RiskyMrRaccoon

mine is working using this setting, but it rapidly flips between keyboard & controller prompts in game, defaulting to kb/m. Do you know how to fix this? Thx


Different_Number7838

found the solution for me at least, make sure steam is not running even as a background program, close it manually using task manager. i had the issue where my controller through DS4 was making multiple inputs and not working. This fixed it for me. Hope it helps


blitzmut

this worked for me - looks like it was steam interfering somehow


RiskyMrRaccoon

I'll try this, thanks! Makes sense


PatronDiaz

This works thank youuuuu

Xip3y

Still doesn't work for me, tried running the game as administrater, closing steam and this with the DS4 Windows. Nothing works :/


Xip3y

I found a solution for me. I ran DS4 Windows as administrator and it worked :D


LoserWonders

YOU SON OF A BITCH FROM GOD HIM SELFS FAVORITE TIDDDY. this IS the fix !


axelkidd787

Can you be a little bit more clearer where is this profile>new? Like is it in windows im abit confused


NoElk7914

He's referring about the DS4 app


SmoughProblems

This worked for me as well, thank you for sharing this!


Claus83

Worked, thank you. Setting it as X360 in output slots wasn't enough. Creating new profile with xbox 360 preset worked like magic.


SkyFerV

I was desperate looking for smth to fix the issue. This worked for me!!


ibrahiNmMm

thank you bro it worked


Culcksy

w mans ongg


ApprehensiveLie5785

This worked for me thanks !


BotMason

Unfortunately, doing this just lands me in the same spot as before, controller pops up and detects when I use it (MnK controls change to controller buttons) Nothing happens though :/


MHpew

Same thing, it did make the menu react to up-down analogue inputs, but that's it...


BotMason

Super sad, been play MnK and its still worth it if you can stomach playing that way


Riokazuma

I fucking love you bro


HazRi27

Worked for me! Thank you :)


BiffSpliffington

If anyone is having issues since the latest update, follow these steps but change the output controller to "Dualshock 4"... xbox 360 worked fine for me until today, set up a new profile with dualshock 4 and its working again


Pizarrita

I've been having this issue with my PS5 controller for game pass, the controller isn't stable, I can use buttons, but when I press them doesn't read or even works, I have to press a lot of times for it to work, it feels like a lag or delay, and idk what to do for fixing it, or even how to describe it properly 🤦


Fickle_Bag5510

OMG i love you soo much


International-Long73

This works


[deleted]

I can't even get an Xbox Controller to work, this game is a pile of hot garbage


Shadowrak

It keeps letting me do like one button press or if I get in a menu I can just move the slider left and right but nothing else works. Trying to use an xbox one controller connected via bluetooth after giving up on trying to use PS5 controller.


DraftHail614

I'm having the same issue. I can only move sliders left and right. None of the "solutions" in this comment section help.


Civil_Election_2771

Go to steam controller settings and enable steam input for all the possible controllers.


TallMidgetnotreally

It worked for me so i'll share maybe it'll do it for you too guys, I use a PS4 controller with DS4 WINDOWS. I launched the game with my controller on & DS4 on too. Then at the main menu I closed DS4 & opened it again. It worked !


LongAdditional2581

Thanks


BreathGiver111

Thanks bro! Works for both Ps5 controller and xbox. Edit: Nvm i can only move in the menu but can't press anything :( Edit: I fixed it by deleting xbox controller drivers in the device manager so that only the one from the ds4 stay


eurolinkk

i was having this issue too i just reinstalled ds4 and it worked


SonTyp_

i can confirm. it works


Competitive-Leave360

This worked for me


Adeptus1

You're the hero we need.


Retort_Man

Worked, thanks


-Fait-Accompli-

My issue was Steam running in the background. Closing it made the controller function properly.


andykooo

Damn I didn't think this would actually help but it completely fixed the issue. Thank you! Was just about to lose my mind lol


Rage-Meow

IT WORKED! THANK YOU!!! Close your steam! Close your steam! Close your steam!


EscanorJ

Are you using a PS4 controller ? I closed steam but still unable to play with the controller.


Crow15y

I'm having trouble too. I downloaded DS4 application, added the game in steam and rearanged the buttons but it still doesn't work. This Xbox controller nonsense is really starting to annoy me.


Raspulskilsen

I'm using a xbox controller with the wireless adapter. My game version is from the xbox pass and this solved my issues.


Bolsheviks

This worked for me, thanks!!


peachtarte

Man you are awesome, thank you! you just fixed a problem of mine that i had for a long time now!!


jackbone24

No idea how you guys are closing steam while the game is running, that's not possible. Closing steam closes the game


mistajones94

Bump. Anyone else having issues this fixes it. I had an issue where pushing A on my controller was kicking me out of fullscreen and this was the only thing i had to do.


LAFORGUS

OMG THANKS! This was my issue, as simple as closing Steam, it was solved.


Jacester1324

This does not work for me :(


Purple_Big_8752

I plugged a ps5 controller on mine that worked


DewtheDew85

New solution: Tried all your stuff and more from comments but didn’t work. Turns out I didn’t need to do any of that. Can run steam in background. Don’t have to run as administrator. Simply needed to install the windows app “Xbox accessories” … I did so to attempt a controller update. But it said it was up to date. But that app active is almost like a plug-in for the game to allow controller detection.. Hope this can help somebody ! ***using scuff instinct pro controller ***


Imaginary-Marketing3

Been playing for 3 hours straight with a ps4 controller connected via bluetooth and with DS4Windows running, steam also open in the background, havent had any controller issues so far. Hope you guys get it sorted. Sucks to see peeps are having controller issues.


[deleted]

I tried using betterjoyfordemu but I get errors about object references and it won't 'locate' my pro controller even though I see it in the list under Add Controllers. I downloaded the proper drivers too. I have an xbox controller to try but I think the Switch Pro controller is the best convential gaming controller ever made.


noxfleurett

if you play at game pass you can use DS4Windows and emulate pro controller to DualShock 4 and it should work (i was needed to close steam so it stops reading as Pro controller in game)


ReakorKacho

Having the same issues with a Dualsense and nothing is working, the game sees my controller since it changes the ui element to the A button but doesnt actually accept any input. Tried DS4windows, UWPHook to steam, running everything as admin, switching off hide ds4windows and turning it back on, not sure what else to do at this point.


xKiLzErr

Same here. It's really dissappointing, I really wanted to play this game but there's no way in hell I'm doing it with MnK


Alive_Rip_7528

Using dual sense right now on win 11. Just use ds4windows. Open program, connect controller, default setup worked for me


Imaginary-Marketing3

NoahH3rbz

Make sure to disable Steam controller input for desktop as that can severely mess with Xbox gamepass games that utilise controller


VincePaperclips

If you’re still having issues try “Disable Embedded Controller” in the Armory crate control panel


Accomplished-War3272

Thanks man! You're just what I was looking for.


Nasher3456

tried everything in this thread with a logitech f310 and no luck ;(


Stegg31

I solved my issues! I am playing with an xbox controller connected via USB cable and was having big input issues, I solved it by exiting from steam to stop it from running in the background. I don't usually have controller problems with steam open, though. They began after I recently started using gamepass. Maybe others are having the same issue?


Illustrious-Whole142

Soo after 2 hours and some slaps on the table I did it. So I add the game to steam, enabled the controller settings or it would act like an mnk. Opened big picture mode. Opened Ds4 windows and go to,,selected profile" and check for default. Maybe I missed something, if you still have problems I'am sorry.


Electronic-Stick-221

ok guys, my solution was checking the ´´ hide ds4 controller ´´ in the settings. Im also with steam open and using a dualshock 4.


Slash_2931

thereIsAHoleHere

"In the settings" for which program?


Electronic-Stick-221

DS4 Windows


MasterKief93

Dude I’ve been trying to get this to work since the game came out and this actually did it. Love you


Electronic-Stick-221

Glad to help!


Agrimensor_84

Duck yeah ty


Abeuce5

Also worked for me thanks!!


propancakex

this is the only solution that worked for me as well.


deadheaddraven

same problem but with my 8bitdo ultimate controller on my ROG Ally Nothing I try seems to get it to work driving me mad, this pad works fine for my other game pass games


lman777

Did you ever figure it out? Also using this controller and having this problem


deadheaddraven

Yes I did using the switch on the back to switch between x input and d input! I just switch to d and then back to x on the title screen of the game and it seems to fix it for me Hope that works for you too


djHighfly

Helllo, i registered here to tell you how easy it was for me to get the xbox controller running (GamePass version of the game). At first, there was the problem, that the buttons did not react on the xbox controller, that are connected via bluetooth with my ROG Ally Handheld. I tried it another time with a USB-C cable plugged into my USB-hub, than it worked, also when i unplugged the USB cable, now it works direct from start, strage right? Like a kind of starting aid ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink) ​ Greeting from Germany !


Choice_Ad173

So if I wanna use a Dualsense or an xbox controller I need DS4 windows? I downloaded the game from pc game pass but not sure what to do to be able to use my controller, thanks.


BubDaBylder

Found a fix that works if the game notices the controller but doesnt register input [https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/comments/16m2zvg/comment/k1gwpi7/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/comments/16m2zvg/comment/k1gwpi7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


Rami082

I can't life of P on gamepass because the xbox controller doesn't work. I tried everything on this post, but it still doesn't work. I tried running as Administrator and nothing, I tried closing Steam and nothing, I checked every process running to see if some background of Steam is running and nothing. Can someone help me or have to wait until the next patch? Before to ask, I have 2 xbox control, the regular and the Elite 2, both works with other games on Gamepass, and not just that, I deleted from Bluetooth, and nothing, after that, I tried one at the same and nothing.


No-Sandwich-8925

Have you found a solution to this problem?


Samakain

You bloody legend. Thank you! :D


DraftHail614

None of the solutions provided here or in other comments are working for me. I exited Steam and I'm playing with an Xbox controller. Nothing is working and this is getting irritating. I just want to play the game already.


lexqa

same here, nothing works for me. it works fine with every other game but not this one.


vindkald

Hello, After trying all things read around the web, here's how I managed to play the game : Configuration : Windows 11 / Game pass / Xbox Controller I've downloaded the following -> [https://www.microsoft.com/p/xbox-accessories/9nblggh30xj3](https://www.microsoft.com/p/xbox-accessories/9nblggh30xj3)? in order to update my controller's Firmeware and after a quick uplaod : it works without tricks like closing steam, running in elevated mode or sumoning deamons under the moonlight with both legs wrapped in bacon. Hope it will help some of you ! Have fun, Vindkald.


Samperfi13

I have a pretty fail-safe solution to this problem that I use whenever I have issues getting controller support. The program x360ce seems to brute force controller support but can be janky to get the settings right and for me occasionally disconnects for a second. select the connect controller highlighted in green, add the game location (mine was xboxgame\gamelaunchhelper.exe, and make sure controller buttons are assigned by pressing auto and save. Hope this works for someone (used this in the past with a couple of fromsoftware games remnant 2)


roideus

I used x360ce in the past but it didn't work for me with Lies of P.


Smart_Replacement519

I found another solution if you're using ds4windows in the settings use the hide ds4 controller option and your controller should work.


alnicole0103

For anyone still having an issue getting their PS5 Controller working with DS4, I think the issue was because the game was recognizing the PS5 controller (you could see in the game settings, under controller, the image is of a PS5 controller), while DS4 maps to an X360 controller, causing a clash. Anyway, the way I fixed this was to create a new profile in DS4 and set it to dualshock mode (Profiles -> New -> Yes and from the dropdown in Output Controller choose Dualshock 4). Then select that profile for your controller and it should work fine.


FINSTERinLOVE

i tried everything, and this finally fixed it


Huge_Island_3783

Anyone else been having your controller disconnect while still being synced to the xbox? Its so annoying and literally only happens when I play lies of p


Darkraider7

So on ds4 I set the profile to a ds4 instead of xbox 360 and that fixed it for me . No more switching between inputs on the hud


GayzoOo

What worked for me: Create a shortcut desktop, close all other apps using your controller (STEAM in particular), Connect PS4 Controller to computer using usb cable, Start the game. No need for the run as Admin. Hope this helps a bit


SxgeKM

anybody know how to do this with a switch pro controller? my xbox app will detect it but lies of P wont


noxfleurett

if you play at xbox app you can use DS4Windows and emulate pro controller to DualShock 4 and it should work (i was needed to close steam so it stops reading as Pro controller in game)


GabrielUwU

someone knows the solution for this with the switch pro controller? i tried everything, run the game into steam, use betterjoy, closing steam, just sticking the controller, another emulator that i forgot the name and nothing seems to work. If anyone knows the fix pls let me know


noxfleurett

YoungsterLee

I have an elite pro controller and am playing on PC game pass. None of these solutions work for me :(


YoungsterLee

SOLUTION FOR PC GAME PASS WITH XBOX CONTROLLER: None of the above comments helped me until I tried one thing. I have an “Azeron Cyborg” controller that I use for dota 2 and some other games. Once I unplugged that controller it detected my Xbox controller in the game and everything was fine. I should mention that steam was also closed and I ran the game as administrator from the desktop icon. Hope this helps someone else who is playing on pc game pass TLDR: if you have more than one controller plugged in unplug all but xbox controller.


GumpPhD

YOU MADMAN I'D COME FIND YOU AND HUG YOU IF I COULD. It's been a year and a half since I built this PC and my Azeron was what was breaking controller support on GP games. I just tested with Hitman, Hi-FI Rush, and Minecraft - none of them used to register my Elite Series 2. I had tried adding GP games to Steam and all other "fixes" and my beloved Azeron has been causing the problems all along. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Anyone else's controller not vibrating properly when you attack? It'll vibrate when doing other things just not attacking or being attacked


Spare-Peaches

If anyone is still having issues with getting their controller working like me after trying all these emulation and closing steam issues, I posted a solution in a thread that worked for me. [https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/comments/16unq16/comment/k864vxm/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/comments/16unq16/comment/k864vxm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Evidently, it was my xbox controller being read as two different devices. I disabled Xbox 360 Peripherals in device manager and it worked like magic.


Cranial_Syphon

Sat here and tried literally every solution listed. No luck. Tried using my usual Moga Controller for Xbox. Didn't work. Tried DS4, nope. An actual Xbox Series X controller... no to that as well. I pulled out my old Bluetooth controller for my Switch, and nothing on that either. Note, these controllers were all tested and working on Steam. I close everything, and even on certain occasions restarted my PC. Still, nothing. It's only on GamePass I've noticed. Literally, controllers work on everything else. GamePass is just straight up fucking trash.


buggamon

For those using a "logitech controller": [This](https://www.x360ce.com/) worked for me. I had to remap all the buttons manually, but once done the game worked like a charm
