Hi wertyuiop408!
Please uninstall and reinstall your drivers for controller and any other controller software. Previously installed controller software, like xpadder, can cause problems and you need to deinstall all driver and software, before a clean reinstall. Be sure that you pluged the controller before starting Battlefield3.
For uninstall the controller driver in Windows7:
1. Click on your windows start button.
2. Type devmgmt.msc in the search box and then press enter.
3. Select the Xbox controller device with rightclick.
4. Select properties.
5. In the properties window, under the driver tab, click the uninstall button.
6. After the uninstalling the drivers restart the computer. This should automatically install proper drivers for it.
Here you can found a manual for connecting your Xbox 360 Controller for Windows to your computer :http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906347

Thank you for the responce, but this has also failed to get the controller working in BF3.
Hello wertyuiop408,
This wired XBox Controller you have, is it your standard wired controller that comes with the Xbox 360?? If so, this may be the reasoning behind your issues, standard XBox 360 remotes may or may not work. Also, if you have any other peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse or anything like this it may and can cause issues.

The controller is not the one that comes with the 360, this was one i bought that is meant for the PC.
I do have other peripherals installed, I have tried the game without those plugged in (those drivers removed as well) when lauching the game and had no luck.
I have a razer mouse and this has caused a confliction with the controller in one game before (but that game didn't have full support for the controller), here the mouse is conflicting with it,
Thank you for your reply.
