Description

Sending this response after you asked me on a Twitter/ X posting to respond here.

When starting the game I have been able with the latest update the first time gets the game to recognize an Xbox controller as Xbox and not playstation. I can go into a server but as soon as the server restarts or I'd leave and go into the menu it reverts to PlayStation showing icons for the wrong controller. I started Steam Steam more than once. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game and made sure to clear out the my documents folder of the game settings/profile to make sure it wasn't holding on to older settings. Completely reset up the game and it continues to happen.

I'm playing on a Windows 11 PC, Nvidia 5060 TI card, I even tried more than one Xbox controller.

    I'm going to guess this may be related to other software you may have for remapping controller buttons and such. Ideally, if at all possible, try to run the game on a fresh Windows install (maybe on another computer or even a VM) and see if you still have the issue.

    I have access to both XBOX and DualSense controllers and they've always been recognised correctly in the game, whether it's through a 2.4GHz dongle or a bluetooth adapter.

    I don't use any software to remap controllers. It also happens with more than one controller. And a friend of mine who I'm really hoping to have this fixed for has accessibility issues and needs to use a controller and it happens on their PC. It's also been a known issue in the past for many other players. Same issue whether I use Bluetooth or wired controller my friend uses a wired controller

    I'm having the same issue. I'm using a Steam Controller and I've tried disabling Steam Input and all other sorts of recommendations presented in the Steam Forums and nothing works. This is an issue the developers need to address directly in the game menus on PC. They need to address functionality that allows you to select the controller layout that you want the game to display. Adding a XBOX glyph toggle would completely fix this issue.
