Problem with Controller Input
It is very difficult to select things in the world with A. Interactable opjects are only highlighted for a split second when you get close. I could not select certain things in the game because of it. I had to switch to kb+m to play. Please configure controller settings, devs! The game is lovely.

Thans for the feedback! What controller do you use?

Also having problems using a PS4 controller. No Input when using steam override. Some input when using no extra tools but I can only move up. When using DS4Windows to emulate an Xbox controller the right analog stick doesn't work properly.

And no... my controller isn't broken and works with nearly all games on steam. ;)

I'm using an XBOX One Elite V.2 Controller, and I don't really have this issue.

That said, what I noticed is that the range for hotspots, i.e. interactable UI elements, to become & stay visible is a bit low... sometime you have to stand in the exactly right spot for something to even show up at all, and sometimes a revealed hotspot disappears simply because I turned on the spot and changed my facing a little bit.

It would be nice if there were an increase to the reveal range, or sight range, or whatever you guys call it internally, or alternatively, if there were a button to briefly reveal all hotspots so that players can get a general idea of where to go / where to stand so that interaction becomes possible.

I used an Xbox One (elite?) controller. I also used a PS5 controller and had the same issue, but I know that one's newer.

I use an XBOX one controller as well and it works with all games. I cannot even select the candles during the opening sequence. The game says to use both left and right sticks but the right stick is useless. Unfortunately I will have to refund as I haven't found a solution.

i use an xbox controller and i can't use right bottoms for example when the game says "press Y" the Y bottom is useless and i need to press X to correct work. also can't change control settings by myself

I have a PS4 controller and I often need to start the game many times to get it to recognise it. Without steam integration it doesn't work right at all, with it, it will mainly work once the game recognises it, but often take several restarts of the entirety of steam to get it to do so (steam always recognises it and says it has started with gamepad config but the game won't until after a restart or twenty). Even when it is working though, it cycles through e.g. Pester chort options in a weird order, and opening the herb inventory there is a strange juddering as if it is trying to scroll up. Never had this issue before on other games.

I am also having this problem. Using a standard XBox controller. Nice to see nobody's ever come up with a fix, very helpful.

This is happening to many people across different threads. Myself included. Xbox controller. Game will likely end up in my most played if this issue is fixed.

I just bought this game and ran into this bug on both controllers I own. Steam controller. PS5 controller. Desktop PC Win10. Basically unplayable until I use keyboard mouse.
