maybe it is a PC problem? wouldn't be surprised
Capcom/Blue Castle couldn't even be arsed to make sure wireless Xbox 360 controllers worked with the PC version, or to release a patch after it was obvious they didn't. :'(
gah what the fuck!
I got it for free and I'll probably never play it now because of this.
The problem is so distinguished mentally-challenged, it hurts. Basically the game checks to see if you have a controller plugged in, and if you don't, it grays out the option to use a controller. Well, for some reason, it doesn't detect the wireless controller as being a controller and grays out the option. HOWEVER, if you plug in another wired controller, it enables the option, then you can play the game just fine with the wireless controller. In other words
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH USING A WIRELESS CONTROLLER IS THAT THE GAME WON'T LET YOU SELECT THE OPTION TO USE IT!!!!! How hard could it be to patch that? But Capcom is aware of the problem and it's been three months, and there's no patch. Modders have released a workarounds, but it sucks because you can't push RT & LT at the same time, you can use the guide button, and rumble doesn't work.
