Xbox 360 Controller

[MrRizzo]

I know from the topics I read that most people thinks it is crazy to try to play this game with a gamepad. But I still play pretty much every game I own with a controller... So the problem I am having is if I press the back button on my xbox controller. Every part of the UI vanishes and will not come back. Only the chat window stays... but even that minimizes where you need to press a button to bring it back. Logging out and back in does not restore the UI. I actually need to exit the game and relaunch. I am using default settings to start.

This is happening in space. I made a new character and did not notice any problems on ground missions. Has anyone else had this issue? Anyway to fix it? From what I can tell the back button is Joy button 2... I do not think I have that button mapped to anything.

It propably is something in the key binds as they do not carry over to newly created characters. Atleast I had to make a couple of adjustments on my Temporal Agent to make it same as my other toons.

Maybe you have some change in place with older toons?

You have to make keybind and other adjustment for each character separately. STO does have a good keybinding system. i guess you need to go through each key and set it to your controller. STO does have a separate Space listing of keys. Go into the keybinding and find the UI toogle key. You might wanna check the properties of the controller and look to see if there is a button map and calibration tool, to see which button is which number.

did you get anywhere with this? just started playing today and even interacting with people is hard. It says press SELECT or F but SELECT on my xbox360 controller doesn't do anything. Also I only got to the part where u shoot the phaser for target practice and I cannot shoot it with controller at all

[MrRizzo]

I made no progress. Not a solution for many. But I will just buy the game for my PS4 lol

star trek online is on ps4 too?

[MrRizzo]

It comes out for PS4 and Xbox One soon with a new UI setup for the controller. Buy the game then it is free to play just like on the PC.

I found the steam controller worked better than the xbox controller. I would like to see them add the console display to the pc version in the near future. Now before i get stupid comment about it i have good reason.

We can all move our hud around redesign to an extent. Sto tells us its controllet compatible already so why not have the option the choose our display , im not expection the k+m players to be forced to use it however theres still alot if users who like the control pad and it would make sense for the option to be added so players can choose.

Are you crazy???? why in hell a pc player will want that UI??? lol. Someone who played pc games his entire life or enough time have faster reflexes, faster reaction and faster movements using keyboard/mouse than any console user playing with a gamepad. PC gamers will never ever use the console UI because they dont need it and they are used to play in a faster and more accurate and precise system like mouse/keyboard. Only thinking in the pain to control my ship using a gamepad... oh my. About the UI, the actual UI is pretty fine. The only thing they need to do is to optimize it, thats all.

Maybe they add that ui as an option. But if they replace the actual PC ui with the console one, well, im sure 500% that A LOT (if not all lol) pc players will stop playing STO lol.

Some of you dont understand but playing this game with a gamepad is a pain in the axxx and the game is not designed for it. Period. What cryptic is doing will be a complete mess, but i should not be telling you this lol. And again, keep in mind cryptic works with the law of minimum effort. I dont think they will make the efforts to add 2 UIs to the pc players lol. If they do something at all btw.

He clearly said adding it as an option. Dont know why youre getting all butt hurt because someone chooses to play the game differently. If it doesnt effect you, just shrug and move on.

I dont see an issue controling the ship with a game pad, it would be easy enough to hold the right trigger which would bump the option to use bo powers and scroll with one of the thumb sticks.

Iv not personally tried with the steam controller on sto, and i do understand that alot of gams are just easier with k+m. But with the ever gowing popularity of using a controller to play games on pc it would b ideal for many players to have a specific ui. Most games coming out on steam these days are controller compatable .

There is an ever growing number of players turning up on pc who preffer a controller , so it would make sense for it the likes of sto to add the console ui. Its been said that the game is broken and buggy, if thats the case then adding another bug/fault to the gam wouldnt be much of an issue.
