I'm using a Logic 3 gamepad, something like this. The game recognizes it's there, but I can't calibrate the controller, and I also can't use the controller. The controller works fine with every game I've ever played before, and it still works as I tested it out on another game just a few minutes ago.

What can I do? Apart from buying another controller obviously, I've also tried with a SpeedLink controller and it doesn't work aswell.

Thank you.

If you aren't getting your answer in this board, it means someone doesn't know what it wrong and they can't help you with your issue.

I would suggest going to the gamespace to find the ways to contact the company's support forum or stop by the gamespace forum for it. If the forum isn't active, your best route is stopping by the official site's tech support page.

The controllers are defined in the file default.ini. Your controller needs to be defined there for the game to see it. For example: The godfather supports The XBOX360 controller but not the wireless variant; this is only because the name of the controller at the operating system level is different. To add support for the XBOX360 Wireless controller you can add the following section to default.ini (all the way at the end):

[Controller_(Xbox_360_Wireless_Receiver_for_Windows):10:1:5]
DEVICETYPE=JOYSTICK_DEVICE
NAME="XBOX 360 Wireless Controller"
BUTTON2=VBUTTON_RIGHT_DPAD_LEFT
BUTTON0=VBUTTON_RIGHT_DPAD_DOWN
BUTTON1=VBUTTON_RIGHT_DPAD_RIGHT
BUTTON3=VBUTTON_RIGHT_DPAD_UP
BUTTON4=VBUTTON_LEFT_TOP
BUTTON5=VBUTTON_RIGHT_TOP
;BUTTON6=VBUTTON_LEFT_BOTTOM
;BUTTON7=VBUTTON_RIGHT_BOTTOM
BUTTON6=VBUTTON_SELECT
BUTTON7=VBUTTON_START
BUTTON8=VBUTTON_LEFT_STICK
BUTTON9=VBUTTON_RIGHT_STICK
POV_0_NORTH=VBUTTON_LEFT_DPAD_UP
POV_0_SOUTH=VBUTTON_LEFT_DPAD_DOWN
POV_0_EAST=VBUTTON_LEFT_DPAD_RIGHT
POV_0_WEST=VBUTTON_LEFT_DPAD_LEFT
DIRECTION_X_AXIS=LJOY_X_FULL_AXIS
DIRECTION_Y_AXIS=LJOY_Y_FULL_AXIS
ROTATION_X_AXIS=RJOY_X_FULL_AXIS
ROTATION_Y_AXIS=RJOY_Y_FULL_AXIS
DIRECTION_Z_POS_AXIS=VBUTTON_LEFT_BOTTOM
DIRECTION_Z_NEG_AXIS=VBUTTON_RIGHT_BOTTOM

Notice the beginning entry: '[Controller_(Xbox_360_Wireless_Receiver_for_Windows):10:1:5] This entry is what identifies the controller as a 'supported' controller to the game. It is the exact name of the controller (as seen in the gamepad control panel in windows) with underscores for the space characters and square brackets [] around it. I tested this with the wireless controller and this worked perfectly. I'd imagine you can add entries for any controller you have and tweak around with the settings.

Good luck,'

LOL, wow, didn't know we were customer service. I wish I could help, but it sounds like your problem is compatibility.
