Fe does not recognize Xbox One controller on PC

When starting Fe (on PC, through Origin) the (wired) Xbox One controller is not recognized at all. In the controls menu, all settings related to controller are grayed out. Since keyboard remapping is completely lacking from this game, it is unplayable for a left-handed player in this state. I also noticed that the steam version is listed as having full controller support. How can I enable controller support for this game?

    Since Fe was on sale on steam, I decided to buy it and see if the steam version has controller support. Turns out it does, no configuration required, just install and go.

    So if you want to play this game with a controller, buy it on steam and not on Origin.

    Hey @Zarhrezz  Can you try going through the below steps and see if this issue continues for you? (also FE does work with controller) 

    • Run a repair on Origin.   
      • Select My Game Library in Origin. 
      • Right-click on the game tile. 
      • Select Repair Game. 
    • Clear Origin Cache 
    • Once the above steps are done, relaunch Origin > Connect your controller > then launch the game and see if this issue is fixed.

    Hey @EA_Illium,

    I've gone through the steps and still no controller support....the grayed out controller-related options are no longer present in the in-game menu's. So not even a hint of controller support anymore.
