I have been playing this game for several weeks just fine using my gamepad in Xbox 360 mode.

Then one day I load the game and it simply does not respond at all to any gamepad input.

It's not the gamepad, I have Mx VS ATV Encore, and is working just fine in that game and other games that take Xbox 360 input.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, to no avail.

Unleased, being older ran smoother on my potato, but Encore runs ok but gets herky jerky when too many riders are on the screen, so I guess I will just be playing Encore now.

Too bad Unleased is flakey.
