Mass Effect: Andromeda (PC) Controller support

Game works great with a wired Xbone controller.

The opening screen did want me to press something on the m/k (I don't remember), but pressing a button on the controller took me right into the game, and it started displaying controller buttons rather than m/k inputs.

Yeah, I can certainly relate. After having used my PS3 dualshock controllers on the PC for... a very long time, I've found it to be a big hassle on my new Win 10 system. It's always been a bit of a pain dealing with the emulator software - so now I'm going through the adjustment of learning to deal with an Xbone controller. The layout is different from what I'm accustomed to with the PS controllers, and it's not nearly as comfortable in my hands.

I would suggest you check with EA support to see if they can help you with it. Links are in the first post of this thread.

Good luck.

Sometimes, my scanning option with the D-pad stops working or I can't use the XYBA after taking a screenshot with my X-box One controller. I assume it is because I keep taking screenshots via my keyboard (no other way to do via the controller I don't think), so my game gets confused about what I am doing. All i do is restart the game, and it works again. Not ideal but it isn't broken.

Are you using XInputWrapper or MotionInJoy. If it's the latter, that's where your issue comes from; using XInputWrapper.

Yeah, I saw that before I took the leap to buying the Xbone controller.  Since I'd not purchased a PS4 (or DS4 controller), I needed to buy a controller either way.  I jumped through quite a few hoops trying to get the old motioninjoy drivers (and Better DS3) to work on my new Win 10 system, and grew tired of the hassles.

So - I decided to suck it up and acclimate to the Xbone controller layout to avoid any potential future hassles with emulators.  It was a 6 of one, half-dozen of the other decision, so... shrug.
