Titmage Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If I launch FNV via steam, it uses my controller. When I launch it through Vortex, the game recognizes that I have my xbox one controller connected, but when I press any buttons, nothing happens. Can somebody help?

Pickysaurus Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 You can launch the game via Steam and still use your mods. Are you using NVSE via Vortex? Can you try launching the game without NVSE to see if that's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try launching the game without NVSE to see if that's the problem?This may or may not be related because my issue is with The Witcher 3 rather than Fallout NV, but the issue is the same: if I launch the game directly from Steam, my PS4 controller works great -- but if I launch it via Vortex, the controller doesn't do anything at all in-game. How can I launch the game via Steam but still use the Vortex-managed mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always remember, once Vortex installs your mods it is done.It never needs to be running when you run your game.Start your game as you usually would. Your mods will be there.

Pickysaurus Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've had odd problems with Steam and my Xbox controller recently. For some games I have to actually go into Big Picture mode on Steam to get it to launch with the controller. I just used a Steam Controller we have at the office and didn't have any problem launching Skyrim SE with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisgarbage1 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I had a problem where my GOG version of Fallout NV stopped recognizing my Xbox controller after I switched to mouse and keyboard, as in, there wasn't even an option in the setting to turn a controller on/off when i tried to change it back an hour later. I fixed this by deleting "fallout_prefs.ini" and "fallout.ini" which can be found in C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV. (these files are replaced next time you launch NV) I imagine this works on steam versions too. Sorry to grave dig thread but I couldn't find any solutions to this problem on the internet so hopefully this might help somebody out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
