It's an Xbox controller. The controller works fine in other games and even the steam dashboard. The controller won't switch over from keyboard mode. When I press the 'xbox' button the screen will flash three times and that's all. No other input is recognized. This happened before and I ended up having to restart For Honor multiple times before it started working again.
Hi ragindrunk! Did you set up the controller as a Steam controller in the controller config in Big Picture Mode? If so, please disable the Xbox configuration support:
Big Picture -> Settings -> Controller Settings -> remove the checkmarks from xbox/ps4 configuration support
