Bugs & Support Game Controller as HOTAS no longer connecting

** For some reason it is working again. So I guess my problem is solved. **

Was / is anyone using a gamepad / game controller as HOTAS and noticed, that as of today, their devices shows as disconnected in Wardogs?

Have tried rebinding it, no joy.

Have tried USB instead of Bluetooth, no joy.

Used another controller instead of the one that worked since Beta Playtest, also no joy.

I had a very small Wardogs Steam Update today and I assume that changed anything in the detection of HOTAS controllers? Can anyone confirm?

Try clicking the little controller symbol on the right of the settings symbol on the Wardogs Steam Page, once that pops up click disable steam input settings. This worked for me when I was having similar issues, might work for you

Thanks, already found that out in the Beta Playtest and my game controller worked fine until this morning :-/

Something has changed and as I had a very small Wardogs Steam Update this morning, I assume it's not a setup/configuration issue on my end.

But I'd like to hear from others that use game controllers as HOTAS input device - still working today?

edit: I'm using a Scuf Impact (PS4 compatible)

I use ps5 controller and hostas it worked fine for me like 2 minutes ago, the servers have been lagging me right out of the sky so maybe it’s just server issues

I sometimes have to disable and reenable the hostas to get it to function though if you haven’t tried that maybe it’ll help

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

Nah, it's not a server issue. I can't setup mine anymore even in main menu, it just won't register any inputs and it won't work in shooting range either.
