Simple question -- You did switch the Options from Keyboard & Mouse to Joystick?

 

I use a Logitech Dual Action, which worked straight from the box without any special drivers so I would expect any Generic Gamepad to work. The most problems come from trying to use console specific adaptions, i.e. xbox, PS3 controllers..

 

Unplug anyother USB devices you have and try again. You may have to reboot.

Do you have special drivers for the Gamepad?

 

I did a GOOGLE and couldn't find any fixes for the complaints. Maybe you could do one to see if you find useful information.

Here is what I use for the USB gamepad to match the PS2 controls.

Setup USB GAMEPAD (Joystick) = PS2 controls.

Try buttons Before you program them (push each button during game play to see what it does now.)

< BUTTONS on right side of control:>

 

Button/Trigger	Foot	Vehicle
#1 or X at 9 o’clock	Jump	Brake/Reverse
#4 or Y at Noon	Enter or Exit	Enter or Exit
#3 or B at 3 o’clock	Fire	Fire
#2 or A at 6 o’clock	Sprint	Accelerate

<Front Buttons:>

 

Button/Trigger	Foot	Vehicle
#5 or Left High	Action	Secondary Fire
#7 or Left Low	Previous Weapon/target	Look Left – Aircraft: left rudder
#6 or Right High	Aim	Handbrake
#8 or Right Low	Next Weapon/Target	Look Right – Aircraft: right rudder

Directional Cross (not programmable)

<< ANALOG STICKS >>

 

Button/Trigger	Foot	Vehicle
#11 or Left Stick	General Movement	General Movement
#12 or Right Stick	Camera Movement	Camera Movement
#11 or Left Stick (as a button)	Look Behind	Sub Mission (start/cancel)
#12 or Right Stick (as a button)	Crouch	Horn/Siren

#9 & #10 Two small buttons between left Directional and 4 buttons.

Program as you will, I have used them for either radio stations forward/backward OR responses Yes/No

Note: Some of the buttons or combinations of buttons are automatically programmed. For actions.

Such as both bottom front buttons pushed at the same time when in a vehicle will show what’s behind you.

I have two USB gamepads and the button Number/Letter Assignments on them are different. That’s why I listed descriptive locations as well as numbers/letters. Numbers in are for Logitech Dual Action, Letters for the Logitech F510.

Note you may also assign the same button to a different command IF they will be in a different column.

It would have been great if they actually let you set directional buttons to the game. Actually, it would have been completely normal and expected in a commercial game; I am still puzzled to this day how Rockstar managed to release a game with so many bugs in it (and then they released IV...).
