1.0 Launch Xbox Controller Config

[Comeng]

Hey guys, for those rare controller players among us I've whipped up a new controller config for 1.0 launch. Search for Ready Or Not [Launch 1.0] - Xbox Controller [Comeng] in the community layouts.

Yes, I've tried a few, but controller input doesn't work with any of them.

Do you steam controller settings look something like this?

comeng-i'm doing the training sessions and I can't seem to get past the part where i split my team and put them at the red and blue door. it's like the command menu stops working. I'm also constantly walking forward without input. I have made your toggle edits as well.

You are the best, thank you for not giving up! It was because "Enable Steam Input for Xbox controllers" was not checked in this settings menu. I don't know why, but the movement didn't work, I first had to reassign WASD to the left stick in the key mapping menu in the game, even though your layout is enabled. Great, thanks again for the help, so I'll be able to play it now until the developers maybe deliver official support after all.

The split team is actually a known bug with the game right now. If the below doesn't work you could try restarting the tutorial.

"- SWAT AI during the tutorial will sometimes not proceed past the split command section.
Workaround: Repeatedly using commands/scroll wheel should fix this."

Command key on controller is menu button, and scroll wheel down is bound to double tap right bumper (the one you use to change teams). Or just use your keyboard quickly.

In regards to walking forward - could your controller have stick drift? You can adjust your deadzone (the area around your controller's thumb stick that doesn't input a command until your thumbstick moves out of the deadzone) in your steam settings -> controller -> calibration and advanced settings.

Thx Comeng. I was finally able to get things fixed with the movement. I looked at your screenshot above and installed the xbox extended feature driver. That seemed to fix it. I was also able to get through the training with your suggestion. Your controller settings are excellent. If we could use voice commands to give orders to the a.i. similar to in Tom Clancy's EndWar that would really make things even smoother with a controller.

This didn't work for me either, we need controller support from the devs. I have nerve damage in my elbow and keeping my arm and wrist twisted for a keyboard is extremely painful, even typing this comment is painful. A controller is a more natural position for the hands. If a game has no controller support it also doesn't have my support either.

I followed this exactly and I still had to keep my keyboard nearby for certain functions. I just can't with this game, too much back and forth needed. This is exactly why I demoed before I bought the game, I'm not making the purchase until it has full controller support.

[Comeng]

Sorry to hear that mate, could you explain a bit what wasn't working for you, or what functions needed keyboard? I might be able to help?

Good work, thx

Implementing controller support should be a priority. This type of community controller layouts are not good enough! Particularly when it comes to giving orders to your squad.

We are the customers and shouldn't have to resort to this awful fixes made by ourselves, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Someone else wrote that he could play with his PS5 controller before version 1.0, but not since the update...

Dualsense does not work, exactly. If anyone wants to make it work they must use DS4windows which is ridiculous as well but then again, the layouts from the community are not good enough

I would love controller support haha, but I'm trying to make it work. What orders can you not give to your squad?

Its impossible to complete the tutorial with controller without using the keyboard, particularly when asked to change between red team and blue team. I get that you are trying your best to make this work but honestly, devs needs to implement a proper controller support, like with Baldurs Gate 3.

[Comeng]

But you can complete everything in the tutorial with controller? Double tap right shoulder bumper to cycle through teams, hold B to queue commands. It's in the steam guide.

It's not the most streamlined but I'm often too lazy to reach for my keyboard now, from when you open the game to exit to desktop you shouldn't need keyboard or mouse if you're so inclined.

Let me know if there is anything else you can't do.

This is great to see, now I can grab the game and try out this config. Comeng, really appreciate the hard work you did in setting this up.
