Re: Dragon age inquisition, how to get xbox 360 controller to work with pc version?

This doesn't fix problem. I always have my controller on before I launch a game (as several other games have had this problem). DA:I still will not recognise it.

My Microsoft Wireless Controller for Windows still isnt recognized in Dragon Age Inquisition. Even though it is recognized by other games that Ive installed before and after DAI. Such as Ryse, Mordor, Far Cry 4 and most recently Wolfenstein. I would like to understand how a console game ported to PC doesnt recognize any of my controllers. I also tried the Logitech F310 (tried both its XInput and DirectInput options) and SteelSeries

Dragon Age: Origins doesn't support controllers on PC. That's because the game was developed for PC first with console development being added later in the development cycle. The console gameplay was quite heavily criticized as well.

That's not what EA says....though usually it is stated that Wired controllers are supported and Wireless aren't.....

System Requirements Lab is a very unreliable tool and my advice is not to use it.

I recently tested the site to see if it had improved, and this was what I got:

Yeah, but that is the listing of specs from EA help and the specs posted at the top of this Forum...

I just copied and pasted from the Official posts....

I see. 🙂

Still, my disclaimer is valid. Very often I've seen complaints from people with bad PCs who claimed they should be able to run a game because SRL told them so.

I remember when I had a Geforce 8500 GT, SRL would say it outperformed the 7800 GTX because 8500 is a higher number.

Typo. "Origins" should have read "Inquisition"

and after 6 FRIKIN PATCHES my PC controller that works with EVERY OTHER GAME still is not recognized. Ive completely re-installed DAI and my controller drivers. Bubkis.
