Why does my Xbox One controller not work on Dark Souls 3 PC?
I'm trying to play Dark Souls 3 on my PC and my controller is not detected at all. My controller is able to navigate Steam's Big Picture mode just fine, so I don't think this is a problem with my controller or the receiver. It works in other games as well. What can I do?
Best Answer
I was able to fix this by:
Going to Big picture mode > settings (cog icon) > controller settings > untick all except "guide button focuses steam"
Start the game and it works flawlessly.

Yes, the xbox 360 controller is actually listed as a recommended. Windows controller for a windows PC is great. Plug and play and works for a lot of other games too. Yes, and it's better using XBOX360 gamepad than a XONE gamepad in Dark Souls.Can you play Dark Souls 3 with an Xbox controller?
Unplug your console's power cable and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Use a USB cable you know is good (try others if the first doesn't work) to connect your controller to the system. Plug your Xbox back in and turn it on using the power button on the system.How do I fix an unresponsive Xbox One controller PC?
Some USB devices, including incompatible or defective USB cables, can interfere with wireless signals.
