    My xbox 360 controller used to work in this game just fine but after an update( I can't remember which update exactly) my xbox 360 controller wont work any more.
    It seems like I need to re-configure it.

    Using options>controls>bindings.
    I manged to configure some of the buttons but a lot of the controls I couldn't configure it right.

    Is there a way to get back the old configurations for the xbox360 controller?


    I tried:
    • reinstalling the game.
    • verify integrity of game cache.

    Thank you.

    I guess you have the controller wired in and it comes up in the controllers menu inside the control panel correct?

    Could you describe in details what's happening?
    If you are using Steam 'Big Picture' mode, check that the 'Xbox Controller Support' setting in the controllers option is disabled, as it's causing problems in many games.

    It is wireless and yes it comes up in the menu with all the buttons.
    --- Post updated ---
    the game runs normally and plays fine with the mouse and keyboard. but my plugged controller doesn't do anything, as if it is not configured.
    But I can still map some actions in the game to the controller and it does work for them...

    Options > Controls > Hardware
    Is the controller recognized correctly in there?
    Which names does it shows up in that menu?

    Have you simply tried to press the 'Reset All' button in the Options > Controls menu (Should return your bindings to default)

    Yes it is recognized correctly in there.
    It shows Logitech wireless rumble pad.
    I have tried rest all.

    it used to work perfectly in Beamng and still does if I configured it manually.

    keep in mind that the controller works with other games perfectly.

    But it's an Xbox 360 controller, as written originally, or a 'Logitech Wireless Rumble Pad' as the game shows?

    I think its a Logitech xbox 360 controller, it has the same layout of the xbox 360 controller.
    I originally thought it was an xbox 360 controller, turns out its Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710.

    That controller is not listed here:
    https://wiki.beamng.com/Controller_support#Logitech
    And it appears it doesn't pass itself as an Xbox controller.

    Meaning the game will not load any preset for it (And very likely didn't do either before)
    You'll need to configure the bindings manually.
