Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

In this tutorial, you will find steps to make the controller (gamepad, joystick) work with eFootball PES 2021.

 

 

Method #1 (DS4 Controller)

  1. Download DS4Windows

To achieve PS4 controller functionality on PC you’ll need the help of a piece of online software. That software is called DS4Windows, and as the name suggests it has been specifically developed for this exact purpose. It works by tricking your PC into thinking that the Dualshock 4 being connected is actually an Xbox 360 controller, which as a Microsoft product is already compatible. To download it head to the DS4Windows website.

 

  1. Set up DS4Windows

The downloaded file should be labeled as ‘DS4Windows.exe’. Click on it, and from here it’ll begin the set-up process until a pop-up menu will appear, asking you to choose where you want your settings and profiles to be saved – all standard stuff. Following this, click the ‘Install the DS4 Driver’ option and the software will get to work making any plugged-in PS4 controller compatible with Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. If you’re still running Windows 7 then you’ll need to also click ‘Install 360 Driver’.

 

  1. Connect your PS4 controller to the PC

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: Connect your PS4 DualShock 4 controller to your PC or laptop. You can do this using any USB-Micro USB cable or connect the gamepad wirelessly via Bluetooth. Not all PCs and Laptops will have a Bluetooth receiver built-in, but it’s relatively easy to find one that will plug into your set-up.

 

Then it’s just about getting the two to talk as you would do with a Dualshock 4 and PS4 console. Hold the center PlayStation button, and this will force DS4Windows to open its Action Centre – then simply click ‘Bluetooth’ and select ‘Wireless Controller’.

 

 

Method #2

Download the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator: https://www.x360ce.com/

 

  • Click on the “Download for 64-bit games” button.

 

  • It supports all joystick versions, including the PS4, Logitech controller.

 

  • Run the x360ce_x64.exe application in the eFootball PES 2021 folder.

 

  • Click on the Create button.

 

  • Extract the zip to the folder where eFootball PES 2021 is installed.

 

  • Make sure the USB is plugged in.

 

  • Click on the Create button.

 

  • Click on the Next button.

 

  • Click on the Finish button.

 

  • Go to the Game Settings tab.

 

  • Click on the “Apply/Synchronize Settings” button.

 

  • Click on the OK.

 

  • Go to the Controller 1 tab.

 

  • Click on the Save button.

 

  • That’s all, you can play the game now.

I have a problem with the x360ce_x64 app, I map the buttons and all then save and everything is fine. I double check by going to “settings” in the PES2021 folder and all fine there too BUT as soon as I launch the game I hear the USB unplug sound and the controller doesn’t work (in the game) even though Windows recognizes it but the game doesn’t. Thank you
