Scrapnaut – Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

by Falagar / Game Guides, General Guides / 01 Apr 2021

So you’re trying to get all gamey with Scrapnaut and your controller’s acting all aloof? No worries!! Let’s tackle that.

The Steam Route

Pop open Steam.

Dive into the Settings.

Spot that Controller option? Click it.

Hit “GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTING”.

Check your gaming gear. Like if you’re rocking a PlayStation, click that PlayStation Configuration Support.

Click OK and fire up “Scrapnaut”. Fingers crossed!

Quick Tip: Always, and I mean always, plug in that controller before starting up “Scrapnaut”. Plugging it in mid-launch can make things all kinds of wonky.

Drivers? Reinstall ‘Em

Right-click that Windows start button.

Choose Device Manager.

Hunt down your controller in the list.

Right-click it, then Uninstall device.

Reboot your PC (with the controller plugged in!). Those drivers will spruce themselves up.

Going the Emulator Route

Download the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator from here.

Grab the “Download for 64-bit games” button.

This bad boy’s good with PS4, Logitech, and more.

Once downloaded, run the x360ce_x64.exe right inside the Scrapnaut folder.

Click Create and then extract the contents to where “Scrapnaut” is chillin’.

Make sure your USB’s in snug.

Hit Create, then Next, and finally Finish.

Now, head to Game Settings.

Smash that “Apply/Synchronize Settings” button.

Click OK, jump to the Controller 1 tab, and hit Save.
