Hello.
PC player here.
I have an USB Generic Controller that works perfectly in my games (Street Fighter V, MK XL, PES2018, Castlevania LoS, etc…). But it was not recognized by FH4. Reading some posts here and in Reddit, I discovered that the game only recognizes the Microsoft XBox Gamepad and Playstation DS4.
To make things more complicated, the game’s folder is fully encrypted in ProgramFiles/WindowsApp so you cannot add even a joystick emulator to translate the inputs (e.g. x360ce).
So, the point here is to ask:
Was this “for genuine XBox-or-PS4 gamepads only” planned?
1 - In case of yes, why it’s the point of doing it? And why it is not stated in system requirements or adviced in game description?
2 - In case of no, is there a plan to correct it? Or, even, is there a known workaround to it? (tried some stuff from youtube and all I got was a lot of new stuff installed. Tried XOutput + HIDGuardian + ViGEm…)
The game is awesome, and I just signed microsoft gamepass to try the full version with plans to buy it later (considering that the Demo may have some bugs).
If this matter remains unsolved by the day my first subscription expires, I will not buy it anymore. I mean, a xbox 360 controller is not expensive, but today it is rare to find a genuine one; the XBox One gamepad costs more than the game itself… there is no reason to spend so much money in a single game (in my case, as casual-enthusiast gamer).
So, any help?
