<p dir="auto">I’m having trouble getting controller input working in Plutonium IW5.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m using an EasySMX X20. Windows’ joy.cpl lists it as Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows), and its button and stick tests work there. Plutonium’s console log says “Controller 0 has connected,” and gpad_enabled is set to 1. However, no controller buttons or sticks work in a match or in menu.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve tried:</p>
<ul>
<li>Exiting Steam completely</li>
<li>XInput mode using the X20’s USB receiver</li>
<li>Bluetooth mode</li>
<li>Restarting Plutonium after reconnecting the controller</li>
<li>Binding BUTTON_A to +attack in the in-game console</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">[console.log](Invalid file type .log. Allowed types are: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .iwi, .iwd, .jpeg) None of those made a difference. I also renamed Plutonium’s storage\iw5 folder so it could be recreated, and replaced the MW3 game folder with a fresh copy of my merged 32-bit files. The game still launches and I can join public multiplayer servers, but the controller remains unresponsive.</p>
<p dir="auto">Plutonium is pointed at my game folder. I restored the 32-bit files using the depot instructions from Xerxes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Can you help with any other troubleshooting steps?</p>
