Xbox Controller
Is there any way to set this game to work with the Xbox controller? Can not figure it out.

You could perhaps use a utility like XPadder or Pinnacle Game Profiler.

This is an XBox live game. How can the steam version not be compatible with an XBox controller?!!

@singulatirty: This game is ten years old. Gamepads weren't really a popular PC input back then.

There's no gamepad support build into the game, but as LoneWolf said, you can use xPadder or some such.

A program like XPadder will let you use a controller on any game on your PC. To be honest though this game was built intended for use with the num pad.

this game works better with a mouse and keyboard in my opinion and i'm someone who uses a gamepad for everything

Dropped
Wow, the amount of people willing to complain about a ten year old game not having controller support is astounding.

Edit: Missed a word. Oops

Because adding controller support is SOOOO DIFFICULT.

Sorry, I must have missed the part where you're part of Firaxis games and know the source code by heart.

We understand what you're saying, YOU don't understand what we're saying.

10 years isn't a long time, and the source code wouldn't be very difficult for a professional programmer to figure out.

The publisher of this game is a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheap wad who released this as a ZERO EFFORT money grab for old fans of the series. They didn't want to pay a programmer to even minially modernise it for modern retro gamers.

In short, it's release is a CON.

I guess I'm simply dumbfounded that you honestly believe it to be an easy task to...
  1. Go back to a finished 10 year old game
  2. Find the source code if it even still exists these days (or completely reverse engineer the game if it doesn't)
  3. Adapt the code to allow for modern controllers (which means working with outdated code or reworking it to work with modern usb gamepads (as well as having to completely add in XInput and possibly DirectInput since they're not in the game natively))
  4. Compile and release it as a patch on Steam

All because a couple of you are too lazy to either use the numpad, mouse, or use a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joy2key type program. You do realize XPadder exists for these reasons, yes?

Or you could do it, of course. No one's stopping you from doing all that for the community (minus the releasing it as a patch obviously) if it's such an issue for you. By all means.
