idk what else to add, my computer recognizes it and i use it for other games on the cpu. It's a playstation controller, not bootleg:/

If you're running the Open GL version you can try updating the gamecontrollerdb.txt file in the same directory as the executable.

i did that but nothing happened:(

it doesnt even see my controller at all when i go in controller configuration in-game. it says to connect a controller

Did you ever find a solution?

Since this was posted in 8 days ago what I did to fix was 

1) Add game to steam library

2) Launch in big picture mode, select control you're using (for me it was a usb ps4 controller)

3)Launch, Play the game, even has Square, Circle, etc for Playstation and XYAB for XBOX. 

I know not the best work around especially if you don't have steam but the laziest people will find the fastest solutions lol

it worked but the opengl version i have is 1.3.2.1

how can i find an up to date 1.4 opengl? trying to speedrun
