Your controller works fine in other games. Then you launch Control Resonant \u2014 nothing. The game ignores the controller entirely. This is a known issue on PC, and it’s almost always fixable without reinstalling Windows.<\/p>\n
Most fixes take less than five minutes. Start with the first one, test after each step, and move down the list. You’ll probably hit a working solution before step 5.<\/p>\n
Steam Input is the most common culprit. Open Steam, right-click Control Resonant, go to Properties<\/strong> > Controller<\/strong>. You’ll see “Use default settings” selected. Change it to Disable Steam Input<\/strong> and launch the game.<\/p>\n If that doesn’t help, go back and try Enable Steam Input<\/strong>. Some builds of the game only respond to one or the other. Relaunch each time.<\/p>\n Windows sometimes keeps old driver profiles for controllers you no longer use. These conflict with your active controller.<\/p>\n Open Device Manager<\/strong>, expand Human Interface Devices<\/strong>. Look for multiple entries named HID-compliant game controller<\/strong>. Right-click each one and select Disable device<\/strong> \u2014 but leave one active. Disconnect your controller first, disable the extras, then reconnect the controller. You should see only one HID-compliant entry.<\/p>\n This fix also works for players with flight sticks, racing wheels, or arcade sticks plugged in simultaneously. Unplug those USB peripherals before launching the game.<\/p>\n Bluetooth introduces latency and sometimes outright fails in certain Unreal Engine<\/a> titles. Control Resonant is one of them.<\/p>\n Connect your controller via USB cable. If it’s an Xbox controller, use the official Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows \u2014 third-party Bluetooth dongles cause dropouts. For PlayStation<\/a> controllers, a standard USB-C cable works fine.<\/p>\n2. Remove Extra HID-Compliant Game Controllers<\/h2>\n
