Some days I just HATE Microsoft...

I finally found out the source of my XBOX 360 driver trouble. You need to reboot the PC after installing *any of* the drivers so they'll load them into memory. Freaking Microsoft! Why give me some BS error #10 when you can just print "please restart system to finish installing drivers" even the freaking Microsoft support team couldn't do that...

if you are reffering to xbcd.... theres generally no need to restart unless you forgot to disable driver signing.

no, probably the default ones.

XBCD is useful if you play emulators or older pc games (and need to increase the center zone of the analog controls).
However, for new PC games it's just a hassle because you're breaking the 360 pad auto-detecting/compatibility in favor of legacy features that can be had with many "generic" gamepads.

even with xbcd, a sys file wasn't registering until I restarted, xbcd.sys IIRC.

XBCD doesn't need to break anything anymore, Theres a wrapper you can download to place inside the game directory which maps xinput to dinput, all functions work, including rumble.
