Xbox controller support?

[npcpawn]

Haven't downloaded the game yet and I was wondering if the game supports the Xbox Controller?

[cousin2008]

yes

[npcpawn]

Thanks mate.

[Ruz]

...no, no it does not.

[npcpawn]

lol, yeah. I found that out the hard way.

It doesn't directly support controllers, BUT, you can use a program called Xpadder with it. This is what I did. You will have to take some time to bind the keys to your buttons on your controller, but it can be done.

Mind sharing your configuration for it?

This is a very rough draft of what I was using until I gave in and started to train myself to use my mouse and keyboard. Copy the above, create a new profile in xpadder, and select paste. This is for the xbox 360 controller. I am unsure if this will work with any other controller.

I should also mention if that works for me it may not be the best for you, but it can be modified to suit your needs.

I have this game on Xbox is sucks big time. I love the game but the controller sucks IMO for this type of game. I got it on steam and I love it.. lol..

So what I am saying is that dont use a controller. Use KM instead.. :)

[soxbears2001]

I actually have stopped playing games that do not support game pads (outside of Sim/RTS) I am bummed that I got this game.. :(

I use Xpadder. It does not, outright, support 360 controllers.

Use Xpadder! It's the ultimate way for those inclined to controllers to play kick-♥♥♥ PC games.

[MadXav]

I never liked Xpadder. It doesn't feel natural at all, and how it comes the devs decided not to add controller support when they had a console port? that's ridiculous.
I don't have anything against K/M, but to remove in the PC version something they already worked out for consoles is silly.

[Nidhoggr]

They would have had to redo the whole inventory interface if they added official controller support, among other things likely. Do you know how tedious inventory management is on PC with a controller? Besides, it feels more natural with k/m.

But the point was that they had already made the game work with gamepads (and pretty well) so why strip the option out of the PC version? Personally I love playing hack-n-loot games with a gamepad... Dark Alliance, anyone? Champions of Norrath? This is one of those cases where the superiority of K/M is very subjective, IMHO.

One- the pc version was out long before the console versions.
Two- the console versions were poorly redone in the inventory area.
Three- Those games you listed were designed for consoles not pc.
