No controller support?

[SativaEwan]

This game has been out for like...two years, and has no native controller support? That's absolutely ridiculous for *a driving game* and makes me seriously question the priority of the devs (i.e. they already have some level of VR support, but no controller support? Seriously?)

I look up online, and you can manually map the controls, but only for driving and not walking.

That is....just awful, and I'm gonna refund the game as I need to use a controller to play it.

Genuinely disappointed as it looks great, I just don't have a m&kb setup to use due to major space constraints.

Nobody a écrit :

there is Controller and wheel support but controller and wheel are only for inside the car so sadly not fully Controller compatible

I tried to set up throttle, break and steer axis to my Xone controller in the launcher options menu but it didn't work.

You use the Steering Wheel menu in the games option menu to set up a controller

Also, this game DOES have controller/wheel support... why are people saying it doesn't?

And it's not something new,
It's had this for a year and a half at least now

Shame people have avoided purchase because they read this and get mislead :(

Thanks, Imma check. I think this is badly communicated by the devs.

Also the store page doesn't mention any kind of controller support either. Personally I don't care I can adapt, just saying it's not communicated by the devs.

Well I tried but it totally broke the controls for me, back to keyboard.

Mmm.. cause keyboard's are ideal for driving. Nothing quite like on/off gas and steering. I really hate analog sticks and triggers that let me accurately drive. Just terrible.

I thought you said controllers worked fine and it was super easy and all that...what happened

If you have a PS4 controller you can use a program called DS4 which will allow you to easily map all the controller buttons and the sticks, and with a Bluetooth dongle connected you can use the controller wirelessly, this is how I play all my games even if they have controller support.
The software emulates the Microsoft controller (which I personally cannot stand anyway with the offset sticks just my opinion) so if a game has controller support you just use the default profile there are lots of setting that you can alter in the software it's the best emulator that I have used and can be used wireless or with a cable.

Never said it was easy, but it should be tbh.

I use a G29 logitech wheel with clutch and H-shifter and all the good stuff, was worth the literal 15mins it took me to set my controls to my liking, this definitely DOES have support for peripherals, you just... have to troubleshoot, shock horror! the game is still in development and is unfinished so you have to do some legwork yourself.

How do you set up gas/break axis to the triggers like any other driving game? I was not able to do it.

this is steam which is computer games not all computer games have controller support dont complain the dev are busy with something else i dont think controller support is any of there concern right now, they are making the game better and more playable

Well, a better implementation of controller support, or better yet full support, would literally be making the game more playable. I like the game, and as a MSC vet this game is cake. Yet I still agree that if the Dev has time to spare to work on VR, they should have first sorted the controllers.

You're correct in that many PC games dont have native controller support. However, in a game where the main emphasis is driving, this needs to be not only in the game, but working well enough that people can use it. I see tons of negative comments from people because others don't want to use third part programs to fix a function that should've been in the base game. I also see a lot of people condescending to others because they weren't able to get their controllers working properly.

NEITHER of those issues are on the people playing this game. They are on the Devs. People are passing on this game because they don't want to buy a product they have to fix to use, and that's perfectly reasonable.

And before anyone brings up that the game is still in Early Access, keep in mind that it has been in development since 2019 and they are currently working on features such as VR support, which IMO is an indication that the priorities for this game aren't where they should be. As for what people want to extrapolate from said priorities, that's up to them but to me it says that they're focusing more on what features they think will sell better, *NOT* what actually plays better.

The game is still good, and for people willing to play WASD or troubleshoot/mod your controller to work, it's worth it. But for anyone that is unable or unwilling, it isn't. It's that simple.

there is controller support you need to go to the wheel section and assign your brake and throttle
