🡆 Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. The game doesn't recognize the controller.

Check if the game is 32-bit or 64-bit. Version 3.2.8.77 is for 32-bit games. If you are playing a modern 64-bit game, you likely need the newer X360ce 64-bit version.
Ensure the file xinput1_3.dll was created in the same folder as the game .exe. If it was deleted by antivirus, X360ce won't work.

2. The controller moves on its own or sticks to a corner.

Open x360ce.exe again.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Look for "Axis to Button" settings or D-Pad settings. Sometimes the D-Pad is set to "POV" but the game reads it as axes. Try changing the D-Pad assignment in the General tab from "POV" to "Axes" or vice versa.

3. "Missing xinput1_3.dll" error.

This usually means DirectX is not updated. While Windows 10/11 usually has this, older games rely heavily on the xinput1_3.dll library.
You can run the x360ce.exe again and ensure the DLL is created, or install the DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from Microsoft.

4. Antivirus keeps deleting the file.

This is very common with older emulators. You must add an exception for the game folder in your antivirus settings.

Fixing Joystick Drift

Go to the Advanced tab. Increase the Dead Zone value from 0% to 15-20%. This tells the emulator to ignore small movements around the center.

⚠️ Important Note on Versions

X360ce 3.2.8.77 is an older 32-bit only version (from the 3.x branch).

For modern 64-bit games (most games after 2016), you actually need Version 4.x.
Version 3.x is typically only for older 32-bit games (e.g., older DirectX 9 titles like Need for Speed: Shift or Batman: Arkham Asylum).

What is included in the "Complete Piece" of v3.2.8.77?

The official distribution of X360ce 3.2.8.77 contains only one executable file:

x360ce.exe (Size ~ 1.2 MB)

It does NOT come with DLL files. Instead, the app creates them when you run it.

Step 1: Download & First Launch

Download X360ce 3.2.8.77 from the official GitHub (x360ce site) – make sure it’s the 32-bit .exe or .zip.
Extract the .exe to your game’s main folder (where the game’s .exe is located, e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\GameName\).
Run x360ce.exe as Administrator.

Legal and Ethical Use

X360ce is not piracy. It is a wrapper, not a crack. You still need a legitimate copy of the game. Using this software is legal in most jurisdictions under “interoperability” exceptions in copyright law. That said, some multiplayer anti-cheat systems (EAC, BattlEye) flag DLL injection. Never use X360ce in online competitive games like Rainbow Six Siege or Call of Duty: Warzone unless the developers explicitly allow it (several single-player-only communities embrace it). 🡆 Troubleshooting Common Issues 1
