HiEA Pass Pro User I can't get my controller to work in-game at all, the game does not recognize it.I can play Conan Chop Chop, so the problem can't be the EA App. Given the controller works everywhere else, it has to be the game.Strangely a friend of mine uses the same controller but has no issues at all.I did update the firmware, changed USB Ports, rebooted my PC, repaired Wild Hearts, started the game on steam, tried to start the EA App on steam too. Nothing seems to work, and the game is much more enjoyable with a controller.Does anybody know a way to fix this issue? The controller works just fine everywhere else, including other games on EA App...

I fixed it.The issue was my Wooting keyboard, emulating an xbox controller.I'd suggest for people who have the same issue, to check if anything is emulating a controller. In my case the keyboard simply had it turned on, even though I never used the function.Turning it off, fixed all my issues.

@slidOz Does this happen wired or wireless?

@EA_Illium Not the same person as above but I experienced the same issue. Seems to only happen wirelessly - the controller's inputs get confused (X becomes B, B becomes A, etc.)

When plugged in it works normally.

I have the EXACT same problem since the trial, what a shitshow. And today on release day it runs SO bad and I can't even play this stuttery mess with my controller, wow.
Simple XB1 controller, wired with usb-c, it's literally brand new. Functions with EVERY other game I have played so far on Steam, Epic Games etc. Only doesn't work with Wild Hearts. I wish I would have never bought it, realtalk. It's the complete opposite of what games should provide: fun.

@slidOz Hey, I had this same issue and I have one of those controllers as well. What I did was changed it to window mode and then while in the game went into the settings, and changed the following

under graphics

Horizontal and vertical i changed down between 85-90. You can mess with the settings real quick like to test it but those helped. I noticed that changing motion blur helped as well.

I have preset on custom settings that way i can change around certain graphical settings so that the game runs more smoothly.

@Tengu_Shin Hey, I have a few different controllers for PC. All Xbox. Make sure you download the Xbox apps for Windows and IF you have an Xbox, update the controller on the console first. I did that for the One and it worked for me personally.

I also use a wired type C connection to USB and not wireless. I tend to avoid anything wireless with controllers since so many other electronics interfere with them.

Also, these may help too.

Noooooooooo way, I also have a Wooting 60HE, dafuq. I thought something in this direction already but I never actually gave it a shot since other games worked aswell while my Wooting was connected. You're the MVP, thanks! Now all that's left is the optimization of the game and we're all set 🤝🏻
