I downloaded the game and can play it with no glitches with KBM. But I wanted to play with a controller so I bought this controller from Amazon (amazon.com/gp/product/B06XBX1R55) which is a usb controller with the xbox layout. I plugged it in and it was immediately recognized by Windows 10, but when I started the game and switched to "gamepad" in the UI menu, nothing happened, the game acts like the controller isn't there. I confirmed in the W10 settings "test" area that the controller works and is sending commands mapped to the correct buttons. So I tried adding both ElDorado.exe and updater.exe to Steam, then using the steam controller configuration feature to recognize the gamepad (which it does, and responds to the controller in the Steam menu UI), but again, even after doing this then opening the game through Steam, it acts like the controller isn't there. I tried downloading x360ce but it crashed and said the file became corrupted; then I downloaded Durazno but when I open it the program never responds (I get the little mouse "loading" wheel indefinitely on mouseover) until I force close the program. I was REALLY looking forward to playing Halo Online with a controller, since I have many years of experience with a controller and I suck with KBM... Is there any way I can get this controller to work or did I just flush $19 down the toilet?
I've used this one for 3 years, simple usb powered, wired, xbox style controller. Still working like new:
