So i just got this sweeeet game on pc (steam). I started it and i can't seem too use my gamepad with this game. I tought you could with JP? I really want too use my xbox (pc) gamepad because i really dislike playing Walking dead with keyboard and mouse. Any options on how to make this work? Really want to get into this sweet game!

Kindest regards

    The game supports the 360 and Logitech gamepads. Are you using one of those?

    Yes i am Mike i bought a Microsoft 360 gamepad especially for PC gaming. Never had any problems with it. Is there a special option somewhere too enable it or so? Don't know what i seem to be doing wrong.

    Are you using a wired gamepad? I just loaded the Steam version up and it worked fine without any configuration needed.

    Also, make sure the gamepad is plugged in and turned on prior to the starting the game, or it won't be detected.

    I am using a wireless one. When i plug it in my pc detects it and it is connected to my pc. Seems like somesort of bug? or i am just being an idiot? :O. I used my controller alot of times. This is weird. I'm not gonna play until my controller works lol..

    Hahh now it works that was weird. It seems i have too connect my gamepay first before launching game. Never did that tho. I always connected it after i launched a game. Well thankies for quick replies. I'm ready too dive into the amazing walking dead game created by you awesome guys and girls!! see you :)

    Edit: Yes as you said gotta connect first. Thanks a bunch!

    Can't you just go into properties and choose to run it as Windows XP?

    Bumping this because the Afterglow XBOX 360 Controller doesn't work with my PC, but only with the Walking Dead - works fine with other games...just curious if it could.

    Are you getting the error where it doesn't even start when you have a gamepad plugged in on Windows 8. A .dll that you can copy and paste into the game files should fix that. Did for me:

    http://www.topdll.com/download/dinput8.dll?q=5e08ac958be05247ff1539e0d1ce7905

    Throw that into your steamapps\common\the walking dead\ folder and it should work.

    That did fix the issue of the game not starting but I still cannot use my 360 controller.

    I found the solution. You need to download this specific .dll file, http://www.topdll.com/download/dinput8.dll?q=5e08ac958be05247ff1539e0d1ce7905

    And copy it into your TWD folder. That did the trick!

    has Windows 8, proof it works
    The only thing it does, which could work in all steam/pc versions is that sometimes the icons change back to computer icons but as soon as you hit a trigger or anything on the xbox controller it goes back to what it should be. I'd advice you Adamgm10 you don't speak with a stick hanging out of ur ass next time.
