How to Fix XDefiant Controller Detection Issue?

0

Ubisoft’s Xdefiant has taken the gaming community by storm. Their concept of bringing characters from previous titles into Xdefiant’s tactical shooter setting is the reason many players are attracted to the game. Ever since its release the game has built up a sizable player base.

With that being said, Xdefiant seems to have hit a technical snag specifically with players using controllers on PC. It seems like there is a problem with the controller detection on Windows causing controllers to disconnect in the middle of the game or not getting detected in the first place. Fortunately, we have found a few fixes that may be able to help curb the issue.

Fixes for the controller detection issue

  1. Conflict with other launchers
    • Since the issue is with controller detection, other launchers like Steam, GOG, Epic Games, etc. may be causing the issue. Start with quitting every launcher running on your PC including Ubisoft Connect. Now restart Ubisoft Connect and launch Xdefiant.
  2. Game files
    • Editing the game files may be able to help you resolve the issue. Follow the simple steps below:
    • Go to the following folder: Documents/My Games/XDefiant
    • Find ‘bc_general_settings_[long unique string of letters and numbers].cfg’
    • Right-click on the file and select Open with Notepad
    • Search for the line ‘GameplayInput_v0’ by pressing Ctrl+F
    • Now change the value to 1
    • Hit Ctrl+S
    • Now close the file and Launch Xdefiant
  3. Use different software for DualSeense Controller
    • Everyone who uses PlayStation’s DualSense controller on PC knows how challenging it is to use the controller without any issue. If you are also using a DualSense controller then you can try installing the DS4Windows app on your PC. This should help you with the controller detection issue.
  4. Check your settings
    • Lastly, it could be as simple as not having the right settings in the game. To check this go to the Gameplay and UI tab and verify if the Gameplay input is set to controller.

There is a possibility of these fixes not working for you, in that case, the recommended action is to contact Ubisoft support for further help.

Ubisoft’s Xdefiant has taken the gaming community by storm as Ubisoft has brought multiple characters from their past games. Xdefiant features 5 factions based on 5 different games with 3 characters in each faction. Surprisingly, the game was launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X at the same time and supports Crossplay.

If you don’t know, Crossplay allows players from different platforms to play with each other. While this feature gained popularity recently, some still do not prefer this feature to be enabled in the game. If you are one of those who do not like it, then here is how you can disable Crossplay in XDefiant.

Disable Crossplay on PC and PlayStation 5

  • Go to Settings.
  • Find and enter ‘Matchmaking and Account’
  • You can toggle Crossplay on/off here

Disable Crossplay on Xbox Series X

Players on Xbox Series X do not have a way to change the Crossplay settings in Xdefiant itself. Players on Xbox will have to change this Crossplay setting via the console’s settings. Here is how you can do it:

  • Press the Xbox button on your controller.
  • Go to Profile and System
  • Go to Settings
  • Go to Account
  • Select Privacy
  • Select Xbox Privacy
  • Click on View Details and Customize
  • Select Communication and Multiplayer
  • Search for ‘you can join cross-network play’ option
  • Select ‘Block’

There you go, now you can toggle Crossplay for Xdefiant whenever your heart feels like it. Having said this, disabling Crossplay can decrease the matchmaking times depending on the platform you are using.

If the spectacle of being able to play with 5 different factions with 3 characters each in XDefiant coming from 5 different games is what attracted you to the game, then you must be disappointed to know that the DedSec faction based on Watch Dogs 2 is not unlocked by default at the start of the game.

Unlike other factions which offer 1 character unlocked by default, the DedSec faction does not have any characters unlocked at the start of the game. While the other factions are impressive enough, who would not want to play as the legendary hackers coming from Watch Dogs 2? If you find yourself in the same situation then worry not, there are a few ways you can unlock the DedSec faction in XDefiant.

Founder’s Pack

The DedSec faction can be bought as part of the Founder’s Pack bundle. This bundle has 3 tiers you can choose from- Base (€19.99), Elite (€39.99) and Ultimate (€69.99). DedSec Faction is included with all tiers of the Founder’s Pack.

Unlock DedSec for Free

If you are not looking to spend your hard-earned money here, then you can grind your way to the DedSec faction. To unlock the DedSec faction, the game requires you to rack up 700,000 XP points. Yes, that is a lot and will require hours of playtime. From what we have experienced, you can achieve 5000-10000 XP points each game depending on your skills.

As mentioned earlier, other factions only start you out with 1 character each. Want to know how to unlock the remaining characters then click here.

Cleaners from ‘The Division’’ Libertad from ‘Far Cry 6,’ Echelon from ‘Splinter Cell,’ Phantoms from ‘Ghost Recon Phantoms’ and DedSec from ‘Watch Dogs.’ Each faction except DedSec will have 1 character unlocked by default.

How to Obtain Free 4-Star Weapon in Wuthering Waves?

0

Wuthering Waves is an open-world RPG game featuring a plethora of options when it comes to weapon choices. Currently, the game contains weapons like broadblades, swords, pistols, gauntlets, and rectifiers. These weapons have ratings in the form of stars- 1 star rating being the lowest and 5 stars being the highest.

Obtaining some of these weapons can be difficult. Any weapon you can obtain for free should be considered a God-given gift. Fortunately, we recently found a weapon that you can obtain for free. Did I forget to mention that this weapon is 4-star rated? Keep reading to know more.

This finding comes after a post from the X user @Narushio who shared a video showing the exact location of the weapon. The weapon in question is a 4-star rated Dauntless Evernight Broadblades. The weapon can be obtained for free and can be located in Guixu City above a broken skyscraper near the Sea of Flames.

Reaching the exact location of the game can be tricky and requires a specific technique. It is highly recommended to watch how Narushio was able to reach it. His technique involves gliding over propulsion flux and wall running on the side of the skyscraper.

Now you might be asking why to put yourself in such a hassle for a weapon. Being a 4-star broadblade it is much easier to obtain this weapon than to upgrade your other weapons to a 4-star rating. Keep in mind, higher higher-rated weapons will offer much better stats and will eventually show their usefulness in combat. The game is new and ever-expanding leaving fans excited for the foreseeable future.

xQc vs. Adept Drama Explained: Lawsuits & Leaked Audio Rock Twitch

0

Popular Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has taken legal action against his ex-partner, known as Adept, by serving her with three lawsuits. This move comes after Adept broadcasted a private phone call between them on her live stream.

The leaked call, which was recorded five months prior to its release, has added fuel to a legal fire that had been burning for over a year. The intricacies of consent laws come into play here, as California requires two-party consent for legal recordings, while Texas, where the recording presumably took place, only requires one-party consent.

The Heart of the Dispute

The core of the dispute seems to stem from xQc’s interactions with another streamer, Aikobliss, particularly during their roleplay sessions in the game Grand Theft Auto on the NoPixel server. Adept’s emotional response to these interactions was made public when she leaked an audio recording of a conversation with xQc, where she can be heard in tears. Despite the breakup that occurred in September 2022, the drama continues to unfold, with Adept’s legal team previously demanding millions of dollars in compensation.

Clarifications and Accusations

In the midst of the controversy, xQc has addressed the situation by clarifying his relationship with Aikobliss, asserting that she is merely a fellow roleplayer and that they have not been on a date. Adept accused xQc of showing favoritism towards Aiko by donating ‘hundred subs’ to her channel, an action that has been scrutinized by the community. Aiko herself has spoken about her relationship with xQc, describing it as a friendship.

The Fallout and Public Opinion

The leaked call has reignited discussions about xQc’s personal life, including his alleged involvement with AikoBliss, despite the fact that he and Adept had already separated. xQc has also taken the opportunity to address his critics, particularly those who have condemned his gambling streams on Twitch, labeling them as ‘losers’.

The ongoing drama between xQc and Adept highlights the complexities of personal relationships in the public eye, especially when legal matters intersect with the world of online streaming. As the situation continues to develop, the gaming community remains captivated by the unfolding events and the legal precedents they may set for content creators and their interactions on and off the stream.

For avid FPS gamers, maintaining consistent aiming speed and accuracy is crucial when transitioning between games. If you’re moving from VALORANT to XDefiant, you’ll want to convert your sensitivity settings to maintain your competitive edge. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the switch smoothly.

Understanding Sensitivity Settings in FPS Games

When you switch from one first-person shooter (FPS) game to another, like from VALORANT to XDefiant, it’s important to adjust your sensitivity settings. This ensures that your muscle memory and aiming skills remain as consistent as possible across different gaming experiences.

How to Seamlessly Transition Your VALORANT Sensitivity Settings to XDefiant

Step 1: Note Your VALORANT Sensitivity

Begin by opening your VALORANT settings and jotting down your current mouse sensitivity number. This figure is the foundation for converting your settings to XDefiant.

Step 2: The Conversion Process

XDefiant offers a sensitivity range from one to 100, which gives you a broad spectrum to find your perfect setting. To convert your VALORANT sensitivity to XDefiant, you can use a simple mathematical formula: for every 0.1 increase in your VALORANT sensitivity, add approximately 9.5 to your XDefiant sensitivity. This calculation can be done manually, or you can use online converters for a quicker process.

Step 3: Adjusting XDefiant Settings

Once you have your converted sensitivity number, head over to XDefiant’s settings menu. Here, you can adjust your mouse sensitivity and other options by moving the sliders to match your calculated sensitivity. Don’t forget to set up your Mouse ADS Sensitivity Multiplier for both Low Zoom and High Zoom, as well as checking the Mouse Acceleration and Lock Mouse to Game Window settings.

Pro Tip: Try Shroud’s Settings

If you’re unsure about your calculations or just want to try something new, consider using the settings of professional gamers like Shroud. His XDefiant settings are a popular choice and might work well for you too.

Converting your sensitivity settings from VALORANT to XDefiant doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your transition between games is as seamless as possible, allowing you to maintain your aiming precision and enjoy your gaming experience to the fullest. Whether you choose to do the math yourself or use online tools, the key is to find the sensitivity that feels right for you. Happy gaming!

Latest CS2 Update Ruins Doppler, Gamma Doppler, and Marble Fade Knives

The latest Counter-Strike 2 update has sparked a controversy among community members after it has caused popular knife skins like Doppler, Gamma Doppler, and Marble Fade to change colors causing it to significantly downgrade in terms of aesthetics.

The aforementioned skins are known for their unique colorway which plays a big part in setting their price. Following the latest update, the colors have been downgraded to the point, that said skins are beyond unrecognizable. The significant change in their colors has caused the players to claim that the knives look like “sh*t”.

Before Update.
After Update.

In the Falchion Knife Doppler, we can see how the colors have undergone a significant shift from hints of blue to a less appealing purple which is subjective but the community in general doesn’t find it aesthetically pleasing.

This issue has been caused following the latest update which would have us believe that another update would be enough to fix it but until then no solution has surfaced at the time of writing.
