It's the epic game version, if you have a uplay account linked to your epic games account you can launch the uplay version and the controller will work. I had the same problem with the nvidia controller. Next problem is though, Far Cry 5 doesn't run well on GFN.
Big picture tells me There is no controller for Far Cry 5 in big yellow letters, go figure. People with only the uplay version also had the same problem as us steam users, and changing the steam settings didn't work for all of us. Every other game with controller support works, so, it is some kind of problem with the game.
I'm not sure if this will work for Steam controllers but I was having the same problem with my PS4 controller emulating as an Xbox controller. Just go into Big Picture, Far Cry 5, Manage Game, Controller Options, Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers - Forced Off. That fixed dpad and reversing for me. < >
farcry 5 there's the an icon that appears for actions like "hold to track". They look like horizontal arrows going left and right, but i can't figure out WHAT that's supposed to mean. 'a' and 'd' just strafe me and the actual arrow keys don't do anything. what am i missing? Found it. It's 'TAB'. Awesome, thanks for finding out and posting.
I know playing a FPS with a controller on PC is blasphemy, but the way the key binds are in this game will make it extremely hard to play. I'm one of the odd ones who use the direction keys to move as opposed to WASD. I decided to try a controller, but for some reason the game won't recognize the controller when every other game I play does(not that many). Is there any fixes that I could do to
1 is always pistols, 4 is always "bread and butter" (assault rifle) ALT is always crouch or sneak, mouse button 5 is always melee, mouse button 4 is something relating to specialized gear (fire mode for gun) Everything by this point has become muslce memory. Mouse and Keyboard. It's how FPS games are meant to be played.
Far Cry six is £59 on the PS store for PS5 but £19.20 new and sealed on amazon that is scandalous pricing. r/farcry • Far Cry 4 is the most fun I’ve ever had in FC.
Disabling the generic Xbox controller option on Big Picture worked for me, but for those who still face this issue, try to launch the game directly via uPlay (this also worked for me). Xbox 360 controller worked fine on both workarounds. But yes, this is unaceptable for a AAA game. Ubisoft should fix this asap. #15.
Hey, I'm trying to use my 360 controller with FC4 Patch 4 without success. It is detected and works on the title screen, but then the game ignores the pad completely. I can't therefore use it, and I'm stuck with the mouse+keyboard, which I feel doesn't feel right for Far Cry. I tried using another 360 pad but I get the same issue with it.
