Hello, i think i figured out why a lot of people are experiencing problems with controllers different than the xbox ones.
In order to play the game we have to emulate our controllers from DirectInput to Xinput.
Alike as Motorsport 7, Forza Horizon 4 is seeing both inputs and that’s why we’re encountering strange things in our game.
That also explains why it’s so easy to fix it when using DS4 just by turning on Exclusivity - “Hide controller” which makes Xinput not visible for the game.
Since we don’t have access to game files in any of the Microsoft games, we are forced to use software called Xoutput, which doesn’t need to have xinput.dll placed in game folder.
Ufortunately this software has no alternatives (at least not known by me) and it doesn’t have “Exclusivity” feature.
That’s just my point of view and i thought it’ll be good to share it with some people, and maybe with the dev team. Maybe anyone know an alternative to Xinput or know how to hide specific controller
straight for Forza? Hope it will be SOMEHOW fixed by the official release cause i don’t want to be forced to buy different controller.
