Firstly make sure that your controller is plugged in and functioning correctly in Windows and that you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the device from the manufacturer's website.
You should also ensure that no schemes or profiles are running for your controller. If you are using a steering wheel, we recommend that you use the 'separate' axis options for your pedals, rather than the 'combined' option. See your wheel documentation for further information on this.
Can you also check Steam's controller settings (Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller settings) and make sure all boxes are unticked.
If you are using a controller which is not officially supported then you will receive a message: “No Preset Control Scheme for Device(s)” upon starting the game. If you proceed to the next screen then you will be able to configure the device using a Custom Control Scheme (go to
