I recently got Assassin's Creed II during the Steam Holiday Sale. I had played Assassin's Creed with my wired XBox 360 Controller without a problem, and I was looking forward to using it for this game.

However, when I went to the options menu to select controls, the controller was not available in the menu. The only options there were Keyboard, Keyboard (alternate), Keyboard + Mouse (2 buttons), and Keyboard + Mouse (5 buttons). The controller is plugged in and turned on, and I am able to use it in other games such as HL2, Portal 2, Steam Big Picture, and Assassin's Creed I.

If anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated, I have no idea what is going on and why it won't find my controller. Thanks

Your issue seems to be that the drivers aren't properly installed.

You can find the drivers located Here. Windows 7 should work for Windows 8/8.1, but I am not entirely sure about Windows 10.

I would suggest repairing game files. Library>acii>properties>local files>verify integrity of local cache. Or installing xbox controller drivers again. The problem here seems too vague without seeing in person.
