XBox 360 PC Controller Problems

[Microwaife]

Hey,

so my friend wants to play fifa 15 against me. But his Xbox Controllers (Wired) wont work.

This is the problem and info:
- Buttons are not working correctly in-game
- Two Gamepads are being shown in device-manager, but only one gamepad is actually connected
- Buttons are working fine in windows
- He has a test version of windows 7 64bit

This is what I tried so far:
- Updating drivers manually (keeps failing to install drivers)
- Searching for the driver online (Can only find the normal program from Microsoft, which does not work)

Thanks in Advance!

BY test version , do you mean a beta release candidate?? (why woul d he be running it at this time?)

or is he running in Test Mode for windows 7
like
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON

manually uninstall each duped HID driver one at a time,
disconnect all controllers, including xbox controllers, flight sticks and pedals etc.
reboot.

My xbox 360 controller randomly switches to player 2 and disconnects - Steam Users' Forums

I MAY have found the solution. I watched this video and did everything it said (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVdjIwu5Eoo). Then I went into device manager and selected 'show hidden devices' and I deleted ALL of the greyed out usb devices and my greyed out 'xbox 360 controller for windows' since one was already in there. So windows has installed two of these drivers for some reason and multiple other copies of my usb drivers. Just to clarify: I unplugged everything besides my controller, mouse and keyboard and restarted, then deleted all of multiple copies of usb drivers that windows has made that WERE greyed out. And I think this may have solved my problem. So far no issues.

Edit: 1 more thing I've noticed is that in Device Manager there are two drivers for my 360 controller activated at the same time. One is called xbox 360 controller for windows and the other is called HID-complaint game controller. Whenever I play a game I disable HID-complaint game controller and keep xbox 360 controller for windows enabled. Having both of these enabled at the same time seems to cause a problem because that's when my controller starts to blink and switch to player 2. Sometimes When I'm in a game windows will automatically enable HID-complaint game controller again so I tab out of the game occasionally to make sure it's still disabled. Turning off automatic driver install may help

after reboot, plugin in the xbox controllers

Its just an unregistered version of win7 (has no money to buy one).
I'll forward this post to him! Thanks for now and lets hope this works!

Same problem...
It shows the Controller under Microsoft Coomon Controller for Windows and one unknown Device.
He did everything as it was said in the video, but did not uninstall the drivers manually, afaik.
Could that be the problem?

Thanks for the effort though!

I'm not really sure.
One of those is the actual controller, the other is the vibration mechanism in the controller.

Not really sure what to tell you as I only own one Box 360 controller, I can't test anything regarding 2 controllers.

[Microwaife]

Well he has only one connected.

For his previous controllers I changed some things in "run" and then regedit:
Computer/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/MediaProperties/PrivateProperties/Joystick/OEM
Could that fuck some things up, when installing controllers later on?

[Microwaife]

Okay nevermind!
The controller works now in other games like FIFA 13 Demo, but still not in Fifa 15...

Problem has been solved.
I had to fully uninstall motionjoy. After that it worked perfectly fine!
