I’ve noticed that for some games (PC), I have to turn my controller on *before* I launch the game, or else it just won’t work. But with other games, I can turn my controller on at any time and it connects just fine.
Why is that? Shouldn’t every game just be able to recognize the controller whenever I turn it on?

Basically it comes down to how they’re programmed.
There are two different input schemes for controllers. The older one is called D-input, and the newer one is called X-input. I imagine there’s some poorly programmed games that do an early detection for which one and then never try it again. But realistically it could be anything.
