I cannot believe Epics games does not have controller support after so much time. I have never buy any game from them and I stop getting free games from them months ago. I am so happy
Honestly, I got Wolfenstein and the whole bio shock collection for Free from them and later found out I couldn’t use a controller. Wish they get with the program like everyone else.
for everyone with this problem, try going into your pc, program files, epic games(or whatever laucher you use) and select the game that you want there. The app that your selecting in your desktop is probrably just a quick acess icon so thats why it doesnt work.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work even with the 2nd variant. However, the controller is recognized by the pc and also works in steam picture mode, but not with epics
Ok sooo after messing with it all day…there is a simpler way to get the controller working instead of moving everything to steam just open task manager and close steam load up Fortnite and your controller should auto configure…. The reason the problem happens is because steam and epic are trying to use 2 different controller configs…. But I love the vid I’m just trying to help because I prefer controller on some games and I know how frustrating this is 🤝
Bro im installing steam rn, ive just the epic games launcher and Fortnite, my switch joycons dont show up in Fortnite even tho they're paired to my laptop, downloading steam, hope the tutorial works
Brooo thank you so much I had done this method before but it has been years so I forgot 😂! Thank you so much it’s so simple some other video I watched before this one was tryna make me download some software and I knew it wasn’t necessary
after the changes to Big Picture in the new overlay update, the option for controller configuration for individual applications like non steam games doesnt work anymore.
Dude. This is hilarious, and it worked perfectly. I was about to fight with other third party controller configuration apps to get this to work. Thank you!
When i try and add a game(in this case fortnite) using the browse method when i click on it,it says catastrophic failure.Do you know a way of solving this?
this was a very nice tutorial if u were using it 1 year ago no offence but u dont need this anymore u just need a cable connect that with the controller and the laptop or pc and just load the game it will work
Bruh, i loved the "Mua" at the end hahahahahaha, tnxh for the tutorial, i am currently trying to play Death Stranding with controller because with a mouse is really boring haha
I had this same issue at first as well, but I managed to find out what the issue was. For me the issue was that I was selecting the executable instead of the application file. To select the application file I had to do the following. 1. First you need to know where the the game files were actually downloaded. 2. To find this (assuming your game is on the epic game store) you should first open the epic game store launcher 3. Go to Library 4. Right click the game you want to add 5. On the the drop down you want to select manage 6.This will open up a new drop down where you want to look for the row which says installation if you look to the left there will be a folder icon next to uninstall click on that This should open up the file location where the game was downloaded and is also where the application file should be as well 7. Then I just used file path shown from the opened folder to find the file under steam according to how he did it in the video and selected the application file Hope This Helps (p.s. @chexrt630 I don't think method will work for rdr2 because in my experience Rockstar games on epic need to be to be launched on epics launcher to verify the purchase because of Rockstar's own launcher)
Well done. Simple. Still works in may 2024 for guardians of the Galaxy. Really appreciate it good sir! Hail steam. It's not like epic isn't making enough money to figure this out?!?!😂😂
i love u, I've been looking arround of why my shit didnt work, was about to install a million . exe but found your video and thought to myself myabe i try this first thank you
Literally nothing will work for me im about to give up. Red Dead 2 wont detect it at all no matter what. Im using a ps5 controller, HItman 2 detects it but as an Xbox xontroller which i can tolerate but RDR2 on epic games will not detect my controller ):
Thank you so so so so so so so so much you’ll help me very much. I’m glad for you because of this video I’m so happy because I can’t play any game I want. Thank you so much
Thanks so much, it worked but my ps4 controllers binds are weird, I’m not able to select things pressing x, it only selects when I press r2 and l2, does anyone know how to fix this?

@@BrotherKalob i tried searching for the epic games launcher on steam but it’s not available :/ i wanna play on controller so much
@@BrotherKalob Do you notice any controller delay when doing this or is it spot on?
@@100element3 have you found it already? I can help you if you haven't
They’re free games bro why stop?💀
Thank you man. I was really frustrated not being able to connect my controller and this finally solved it.

Me too
It takes tweaking to get controller to work
Go into the settings in big picture and go to controller and make sure it’s on steam input not default fir some games
thanks for the advice
your ability to clarify complex subjects is unparalleled!
Bro..
This was very educational !
And the background music is just 👌🏻

@@salihenc9367 yes
thanks now i can actually play fortnite.
Okay so my issue now is, I click browse and fortnite only opens up as a shortcut, not as an application, and it just tells me “catastrophic failure”
Same here 😅 did you ever figure it out?!??
Me too with rdr2
I had this same issue at first as well, but I managed to find out what the issue was. For me the issue was that I was selecting the executable instead of the application file. To select the application file I had to do the following.
1. First you need to know where the the game files were actually downloaded.
2. To find this (assuming your game is on the epic game store) you should first open the epic game store launcher
3. Go to Library
4. Right click the game you want to add
5. On the the drop down you want to select manage
6.This will open up a new drop down where you want to look for the row which says installation if you look to the left there will be a folder icon next to uninstall click on that
This should open up the file location where the game was downloaded and is also where the application file should be as well
7. Then I just used file path shown from the opened folder to find the file under steam according to how he did it in the video and selected the application file
Hope This Helps (p.s. @chexrt630 I don't think method will work for rdr2 because in my experience Rockstar games on epic need to be to be launched on epics launcher to verify the purchase because of Rockstar's own launcher)
Did u solve that.??
