Anyone have any advice on how to get this controller to work? The game seems to recognize it and allows me to choose it in the options, but the game does not respond to the controller at all.

Any ideas?

odd, i have the exact same controller, and it responds, but the car drifts to the left no matter how high i set the dead zone or how low i set the sensitivity. it only seems to work at all in xinput mode, but since steering is impossible, it's pointless. same controller works just fine with various other games from GOG, and Steam. very disappointing. using Ubuntu 14.04.2 32-bit.
