Neverness to Everness — Controller detected in Windows but not in game

Reposting with more detail after my last thread got no traction. It seems to depend heavily on region, which nobody mentions anywhere.

Marking this solved once something actually works.

The usual fix here is the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

Worth checking first: keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

I went through this last month. that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

From experience, do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

Worth a shot before anything drastic.

Had the exact same issue. worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

Not the answer you want, but the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

In my testing, worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

Good luck, it is a common snag.

Had the exact same issue. give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

Others may have a cleaner method.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

This comes up a lot, so: the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

Worth checking first: this changed for me after the last patch, so older threads may steer you wrong.

Quick correction to the above: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

For what it is worth, it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

Slightly different take — it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

Agreed on most of this, except it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

Only partly related, but check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.
