Controller not Working in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
Controllers on PC can be a problematic topic. The situation is no different in the case of PoP The Lost Crown. If your gamepad is not working correctly in this title, we have gathered several solutions that you can try out.
It has been a while since Prince of Persia titles had a meaningful, well received release. Everything shows that this is going to change with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Developers decided to go back to the roots, making a comeback to side view platformer, like the very first game in this series. The title is already enjoyed by some fans who decided to buy Deluxe Edition or pay for Ubisoft+. Also, a demo is available for everyone to try. The initial response to the new PoP game is very positive, though there is always something that’s not entirely right. Some players have noticed issues with their controllers. Let’s dive deeper and see if anything can be done about it.
Controller issues in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown explained
As the new PoP The Lost Crown is a classical metroidvania platformer viewed from the side, it is only natural to use a controller. By any means, if you are on PC, it is not impossible to play with keyboard and mouse, though many would argue that controller is a way to go in this case. The thing is that some fans who are using a gamepad to enjoy the title have stumbled upon some issues.
The problem with using controllers on PC is that there are many brands of them. On Windows, Xbox controller is supported natively, though others can be problematic. Below you can find several tips how to troubleshoot gamepads on PC:
- Even though, as previously mentioned, Xbox gamepads are natively supported on Windows, they can act up while playing the latest Prince of Persia. Sometimes during the game some buttons can get unbinded. Sometimes a simple relaunch of the title can be enough to fix it.
- If you are using Playstation’s DualShock 4 or DualSense 5 controller wirelessly, you are probably using DS4Windows utility to make it work at all. If that’s the case, make sure to have it set to emulate only one type of device – DualSense or Xbox.
- A good idea is to close Steam while playing The Lost Crown. It can happen that Steam Input will interfere with other games and how they work with controllers.
As the game is not officially out yet for everyone, we can expect more patches soon that will address game’s problems. We should also look forward to more controller support on PC.
