Whatever happened to controller support in this game? I launched the game a few times with the Xbox 360 wireless controller plugged in, and it's completely unresponsive. Moreover, I could find any option to turn it on.

I had the same problem a few days ago. Please uninstall the game and install it again. This works for me, because some Buttons on my XBOX 360 wire pad had no function.....

I managed to get it working in a roundabout way. I had to plug the controller to a different port, and then back again.
