The forum

Hi Everyone,

I've got my xbox controller getting picked up by wine, as in i can go to the game controller settings and see the joysticks and buttons reacting.  But when i open a game in steam, I'm unable to use the controller, is there anything extra i need to do for the games to accept input from my pad?  The game im trying to get it woring with right now is rocket league.

 

I've tried an xbox 360 pad with xboxdrv, and an xbox one pad with xpad.  Both of these controllers currently work with native steam games.

 

Cheers for any help

Hi,

Having the same issues!

The controller works in Control Panel - Game Controllers and using the ubuntu-xboxdrv service it shows up as a wireless xbox360 controller but still no love in Rocket League.

I've tried multiple solutions non of which seem to work...

Any ideas guys?

OK, I finally got it to work tonight!

I think you need .NET 3.5 .NET4.0 and .NET4.5 installed.

I think you also need directx9, vcrun2010 and vcrun3013 installed.

Use the standard xpad with the xbox360 controller., don't worry about xboxdrv. It'll probably work with xboxdrv but I had success with xpad so I can't tell if that's an issue or not yet. Make sure that works first. Use jstest-gtk to check. 

Grab the 32 or 64 bit xbox360ce.exe file from here depending on your container type. I stuck with 32 bit. Put the exe in a new folder in the c drive.

Now in PLayOnLinux go to the Steam bottle configuration and under Miscellaneous select Run a .exe file in this virtual drive.

Find the x360ce.exe and run it. When it pops up it'll complain about no xinput1_3.dll. Just click on create to create the file. Then it'll install a couple of xbox controller drivers. Once that is done you can auto fill the controller in the panel and you should see alll the appropriate controlls working. Once you're happy with it hit save and close the panel.

Now just copy the 3 files into your rocket league folder (Binaries/Win32) and it should work!

Let me know if you have no luck and I'll do a full tutorial.
