Issues unresolved
Impulse Triggers vibration does not work for Xbox One controllers
- Despite the presence of the
Windows.Gaming.InputAPI .dll in the <path-to-game> and the Trigger Rumble setting in the game, trigger vibration does not work.[6] - Since Patch 1.05, enabling Trigger Rumble on Xbox One controllers disables all vibration.[7]

- Tested with a Xbox One controller, model 1708. I couldn't feel the trigger vibration with other vibration/FFB options. With Trigger Rumble on, I disabled all other vibration and force feedback options. Trigger rumble was not present in that situation either.
