Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

Can't get controller to work?
With Steam's built in controller configuration. Tried PS4 and Xbox 1 controllers. I've got it working with other games, but can't get it working with any DOS games. Any ideas? Supposodly this feature should work with "any" game. Is this not the case or could it be something simple I'm missing?
Any help would be appreciated.

This might seem a bit weird to do but you have to key bind the controls to the controller using a third party application. Take note of what application you're using as well as the game controls when you go to bind the controller to work for DOS games. Avoid using the analog sticks if possible or get a dual D-pad controller for best results. Not much else you can do though, unless theres a app that allows DOS games to be controller compatible but i havent seen anything.

Which app should I use? Know of any good ones proven to work with this and other DOS games in Steam? I got controller companion but it doesn't seem to work.
No idea dude, as a child i played them using the original bindings so i have no idea what to recommend for it... perhaps finding reviews of apps off of DOSgames.com ??

Steam runs DOS games through DOSBox, a separate application from Steam, therefore it won't use Steam controller settings. You're better off using an application like Zandronum or GZDoom to play this game if you wanna use a controller.

It's Ok I used GZDoom so controller works fine now.
