    I have the latest drivers for my 360 controller, but it shows in Device manager as enabled and working. But Arma2 doesnt seem to recognise it, for the Controller/Custom screen has nothing. Ive been searching for a solution on these forums and it seems some ppl have no problems getting it to work and those in my boat dont seem to have a firm answer in what you need to do. Also in my control panel in vista, there is a controller tool, that does not display my 360 controller either. Any ideas here? has anyone had this problem and solved it?

    Thanks

    I have downloaded the latest controller drivers from Microsoft and they do improve the controller in ArmA2 but the default assignments for the controller aren't intuitive.

    I still think the game controls are over-complicated and the game is buggy and eratic to play.

    As for the Vista OS not recognising the controller, I too have Vista (32bit Home version) and have no trouble recognising the controller as the MS Xbox controller when connected. Have you tried "adding hardware" in the Control Panel? Maybe the USB port is faulty, try it in a different USB port. Have you got anything else connected through your USB...a mouse...joystick etc.,?

    At least in the demo, you go to options > controls > controller, and there you should see your 360 controller listed there under both "customizable controllers" and "controllers with scheme."

    Unfortunately, "controllers with scheme" sets it up without inverted look for infantry movement, and customising that scheme doesn't work. Granted, you can use "customizable controllers", but then binding right trigger to fire doesn't work and the menu control with the controller and rumble doesn't either. Hopefully such issues can be fixed in the full version.

    It seems the "finished" game is no better than the demo for configuration "issues" with the XBox 360 controller.

    When I did manage to figure out how to enable the controller in the game it turns out very flaky to say the least. Sometimes its buttons work and sometimes they don't.

    TBH I've found the game very buggy and not at all "finished".

    When the game came out in my area it was selling for £24.99 - now I know why. Its not finished and will need heavy patching to make it run properly. Even the menues are hit and miss and that's with a mouse to select them.

    I've come to realise that when retailers price a new release cheaper than expected it usually means the game is lacking in the playability stakes or is unlikely to sell when the word/reviews hit the streets so they try to shift them quickly at low prices from the off.

    I suspect I won't be playing this very much and regret wasting the £24.99 it cost me.:(

    How does this make the streets when we've got the CoD games. Arma2 - 4/10 (IMHO):mad:

    The reason I've asked is because the controller doesn't seem to control anything when I press it's buttons and move it's sticks.

    If I go into the controls assigns screen the only assigns are keyboard, there isn't a mnu or button to enable/choose a joystick/joypad.

    Does this mean I have to go through each action and bind it to a controller button/stick one by one? Is this what you mean by adjust it to my preference?
