[Linux] Game freezes with xbox 360 controller

[SGeeMan]

Arch linux user here, and I noticed that the game works fine. When I fire her up with my xbox 360 controller, it freezes during loading. Watching the terminal it just hangs like this


/dev/input/js0: driver version: 2.1.0 (20100)
/dev/input/js0: fd 7, buttons 15, axes 6, name Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver

Anyone with a solution hit me up. I'm dying to play this with a controller.

Same problem here. I have a wireless xbox 360 controller. I have to unplug the receiver in order for the game to start.

I had a similar experience when Trine 2 was released for linux. Xboxdrv became my friend back then. With all the games we have now, I'd rather just play.

Have the same problem on SteamOS.

After Intro Freezes the game on Linux Mint 17.1 64 bits a.

AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor
GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] 4gb

One idea what it is?

[andrebo7]

This still happens with the latest patch!
Game freezes on intro with xbox 360 wireless controller plugged in.
Using default xboxdrv config.

Linux Mint 17 64-bit

GTX 970

Devs!?!

Yep. New patch doesn't help. :(

[kittenm4ster]

Yep, a wireless Xbox 360 controller still makes the game not start, even on Ubuntu 14.04 which is the "supported" distro, using xpad which is default :(

Sadly wireless 360 controllers aren't officially supported, we're hoping to get to test/support those as soon as we're able.

This is a show stopper and prevents me from playing the game. I am glad to know the devs are at least aware of the issue. Here's hoping it can be fixed soon.

We're going to need to know which version of Linux everyone is using, which drivers are being used, the exact controller etc.

Also a reminder that only Ubuntu is officially supported by Steam.

I don't use Ubuntu but from the comments it seems easily reproducible with the default drivers on Ubuntu. Fixing it there will be sufficient to fix it on any other distro.

You've probably heard this before, but here is a tip from a fellow developer: if you use SDL2 for input, wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers show up exactly the same with no effort on your part, and it's cross-platform (and free) so I really don't know why anyone would use anything else, honestly :)

But even if you can't use SDL2, I can't remember but isn't the only difference between wired and wireless that the button-mapping is different (they both go through the same xpad kernel module)? So I am confused why it causes the program to freeze if I have a wireless controller connected...shouldn't it just make the button-mapping wrong, and then I could remap it with the new 1.02 feature and I'd be golden? Maybe they are more different than I know, but I always use SDL2 so I don't notice :)

Anyway, I appreciate the Linux support, and I offer my help if you want me to test anything since I have a wireless dongle. (But if you use SDL2 there is really nothing to test; it just works exactly the same as wired; it's pretty awesome.)

I don't think it's specific to the xbox wireless controller. Anything (xbox, PS3) that I use with the xboxdrv driver crashes the game on startup. The kernel drivers (xpad) don't work for me in Mint 17. Supporing xboxdrv will solve most of the issues.

It is not xboxdrv specific. I tried both the default xpad driver and xboxdrv and the game hangs with both.
