How to Fix Controller not Working For PC on Redfall
These are the three fixes that you can try out to fix the Controller not Working on PC for Redfall.

Hence, try switching to a Wired Controller rather than a wireless one, mainly if you use the Xbox Wireless Controllers. Alot of the Xbox Controllers are having issues in Redfall when connected Wirelessly, both when using the dongle and when connected via Bluetooth. Even we faced a similar problem and switched to a Wired Xbox Controller, and everything ran flawlessly.
Try Disabling the Steam Input (if you are playing on Steam)
Disabling Steam Input can also help load the default profiles for the Redfall. Here are the steps to disable Steam Input altogether.
- Exit the game first.
- Get back to the desktop.
- Open the Steam app.
- Go to the library, find the Redfall, and right-click on it.
- Click Properties, and find the Controller option on the left.
- Select that, and an option will be available for you to click on the small box to tick mark on “Override for Redfall.”
- Select the “Disable Steam Input” option.
- Relaunch Redfall, and it will work now.
Check if the controllers are connected
You can do the following steps to see whether Steam has adequately detected your controllers.
- Open the Steam app and go to Settings
- Click on the Controller option that is on the left
- Click on the General Controller settings on the left panel
- The plugged-in controllers should automatically get detected/
- If not, then disconnect and reconnect the controller back again.
