Controller works BUT the game wont show controller buttons

Hello @BeastMode197051,

Here are a few steps you can try to get your Xbox controller working correctly with Battlefield Hardline.

1. Check Steam Big Picture Mode:

   • Open Steam and go to Big Picture Mode (the controller icon in the top right).
   • Go to Library, select Battlefield Hardline, and click on "Manage Game."
   • Under "Controller Configuration," make sure it's set to use the Xbox layout.

2. Disable Steam Input for the Game:

   • Still in Big Picture Mode, navigate to the game's settings and find the "Steam Input Per-Game Setting."
   • Set it to "Forced Off" or "Forced On" and see if that changes anything.

3. Check Windows Game Settings:

   • Go to Windows Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, and make sure your controller is properly connected.
   • Check if the controller works in other games or applications to rule out hardware issues.

4. Use the Xbox Accessories App:

   • Download the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store.
   • Make sure your controller's firmware is updated through this app.

5. In-Game Settings:

   • Launch Battlefield Hardline, go to the Options menu, and check the Controls settings to see if there's an option to switch to controller input.

6. Disable Other Software:

   • If you have any third-party software (like DS4Windows or Xpadder), try disabling it as it might conflict with the controller.

7. Reinstall Game:

   • As a last resort, consider reinstalling the game to reset any potential configuration issues.
