Time to get a real gamepad that runs on wires.
Yo, OOO. How about fixing the reconnection bug with wireless Gamepads/Controllers.

I don't know any game that
I don't know any game that has gamepad support that will detect a gamepad after the game's been launched.
If you really want to maintain at least some support, you could install Xpadder, which maps your gamepad to keyboard keys. You can in theory set the control stick to arrows which is basically the same, but you do lose some control as the game itself has a much more nuanced control. But it's better than nothing!
It's a common thing with some pc games in general. If the controller wasnt on when starting the game (or was unpluged), it wont work.
Detection is likely only checked at game launch.
