Hi to all who may be able to help me. I just recently bought an AlienWare Alpha i3 computer / game console.

I bought and installed both a SSD & an extra 4gb of RAM, and finished downloading GTA V off of steam.

The system came with an Xbox 360 controller, and a wireless USB receiver. When I try to use the controller in GTA V, I am running into an issue that is explained below :

 

When I push the left analog stick up instead of walking forward, my character aims upward with the crosshairs.

The same goes for pushing the left analog stick down (aims down) stick left (aims left) stick right (aims right). The right analog stick aims as well.

It's seems as if the Xbox 360 Controller is using the left analog stick as the mouse pointer, and the right analog stick as my aim 

                                 (I can see the mouse pointer on my screen with GTA V in full screen mode.)

I currently can't walk anywhere, just aim? The D-pad does not control player movement either.

 

I have searched EVERYWHERE and have found no help online, nor has anyone encountered the same issue. I am not sure how to go about fixing this, and any help would be greatly

appreciated!

I finished downloading LSPDFR and am looking forward to playing it, but currently cannot with this controller issue. Thanks!!!!

Were you able to figure this out? I am having the same issue with every game.
