Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction – Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

There are two possible solutions to this problem. Please double-check that the controller is properly attached before you begin. Do not connect while the game is loading, as this may cause problems. If the problem persists, please follow the steps outlined below.

Method #1 (DS4 Controller)

• Download DS4Windows

You’ll need help from some online software to get the PS4 controller functioning on a PC. That program is called DS4Windows, and it was created particularly for this purpose, as the title suggests. It works by convincing your PC that the Dualshock 4 you’re using is actually an Xbox 360 & One controller, which is already certified as a Microsoft device.

• Setup DS4Windows

‘DS4Windows.exe’ should be the name of the downloaded file. Click it, and it’ll take you through the setup process till a pop-up menu appears, asking you where you want your settings and profiles saved — standard stuff. After that, select the ‘Install the DS4 Driver’ option, and the program will start working to make any plugged-in PS4 controller compatible with Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10. If you’re still using Windows 7, you’ll also need to click on the ‘Install 360 Driver’ button.

• Connect your PlayStation 4 controller to your computer.

It’s almost here: connect your PS4 DualShock 4 controller to your computer or laptop. You can do this with any USB-Micro & USB cable or using Bluetooth to connect the gamepad wirelessly. While not all PCs and laptops come with a Bluetooth receiver, it’s relatively easy to find one to work with your setup.

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 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 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction folder.

• Click on the Create button.

• Extract the zip to the folder where Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction 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.

Check the batteries

It may sound elementary, but if you’re using a controller that runs on batteries, even rechargeable ones, the chances are your batteries may have given up on you. Batteries may run out faster than usual as they age, and it may also be a sign to get a replacement or find other alternatives if this keeps happening more frequently.

Try out different USB ports

Cabled controllers may suffer from connectivity options. Changing USB ports will be a decent way to troubleshoot any connectivity issues that aging ports can cause. If you hear a little chime while your controller stops working, you’ll know that there might be something wrong with your port or the cable of your controller.

Reinstalling the drivers

Controllers also have drivers, and they’re usually updated with automatic Windows updates. If you have disabled updates before or it’s been a while since you last updated, you’ll need to check if any drivers are released for your controller. Follow these steps to reinstall the drivers:

• Right-click the Windows start button.

• Select Device Manager.

• Find your controller in the device list.

• Right-click the controller and select Uninstall device.

• Restart the PC with the controller plugged in.

• The drivers will be re-installed automatically.

Or Type in your controller’s model into Google and also add drivers at the end. Navigate to your controller’s manufacturer’s website and download the latest available drivers.
