[SOLVED] Controller support horrible

[Corjo]

im using a xbox 360 controller with the latest drivers, other games work fine, and the controller does too, as long as you dont mind using the start button to accellerate, and there is no way to change what the button layout is.

This problem has been resolved with the latest patch. If you still encounter any problems, feel free to post here.

There is a thread on the good-old forums, saying someone who work there had created a way to change the keys and had submitted it to Steam. It was a loong time ago.

lucky day! They just updated it to support 360 pads!

Is the update working for anyone? I just redownloaded this game because I was so excited about the Xbox support but I go into game and the Start button still drives the car foreword

I loaded my game up too expecting the ridiculous Xbox 360 controller issues to finally be resolved but it is the same as before: START still makes the vehicles go forward. However, I checked the creation date of the main game executable and it is still dated 12th July 2012 (that's how long I've been waited for this issue to be fixed!!!) so it seems to me that the update has not yet been released, certainly not for me here in the UK. I tried exiting and restarting Steam, and even revalidated the game itself to no avail. Hopefully, we'll get it sometime during the day?

Smash Cars is a fun little game but the controller issue and lack of online support really are disappointments IMO. It really is appalling that it has taken the developers over a year to implement something as basic as full Xbox 360 controller support... assuming that they actually have and that this new patch actually exists, of course!

Yeah still no working 360 controller for me, hope for the working patch soon.

Downloading as we speak.
15 months since the patch had been submitted to Valve. :\

I just bought it after seeing the new notice that the Xbox 360 controller was supposed to be patched/supported fully. I downloaded it 10 minutes ago, and when I played it accelerate was still mapped to the Start button which I believe is the way it was before. So when do we get a REAL patch that maps the accelerate and decelarate to the triggers? I feel misled.

Im using xpadder and works fine.

The problem with that is that you don't get the full range of the joystick, which is a must for a racing game.

Yeah, same with me. It doesn't seem like that patch worked.

[somini]

Yup, I can also confirm the so called "patch" hasn't been applied, only the changelog was published. Another botch job.

Did anyone contacted Valve about this?

[1nvisible]

Unfortunately, Valve has not published the patch yet. We have contacted them once more to sort out the situation.

So the patch is real!!! That's great!

[1nvisible]

Yes, it was real ever since it was created like 1.5 years ago.
Hope it gets finally published soon...

This game has to be jinxed, it's the only explanation!
