PLAYING WITH CONTROLLERS

[Revolution Software]

Are you playing Beyond A Steel Sky with a controller?

Amazing, let's hear it from you!

Let's talk about your experiences playing with Controllers

XBOX ONE & PS4 CONTROLLERS

Beyond A Steel Sky should work best with Xbox One & Sony DualShock 4 controllers!
How are experiences for these? Anything blocking you from playing the game on them without resorting to mouse & keyboard?

STEAM CONTROLLER

We're getting conflicting reports with these.
For some most they seem to work really well, but we have received one or two comments about them not performing. We'd love to get to the bottom of this. How is it for you?

3RD PARTY CONTROLLERS

There is no wilder west than 3rd party controllers.
But we're hoping to provide support where we can and that's where you come in!
Is does your controller only partially work? We'd love to know more!

Helpful things to include in your feeback

• Name & Make of your controller
  
• What exactly works, and what doesn't: Be exact!
  
• We'd love a link to the controller, but we're not sure how Steam moderates those!

If you want to talk more in depth about it you're always welcome to hop over to discord.gg/revolutionsoftware

Looking forward to the thread, and merging other existing controller based threads into it now!
Love from the Revolution team

Issue with MINOS terminals and Xbox One (wireless) controller

Initial game and updated version have both the problem where one can not select "City Live" inside the terminal using Xbox One (wireless) controller. Nothing happens when pressing A, while choosing the menu item. The content inside "Holo Plinth" is affected too.

Workaround:
Switching to mouse works fine to pass this and access the content.

---------------------------

I thought you -the devs- might want to know this issue exists.

[Revolution Software]

Thank you so much, we'll look into this!
You're also invited to hop over to Discord: discord.gg/revolutionsoftware in case you notice more!
All the best from the whole team at Revolution

Minos terminals still broken.

[Revolution Software]

They don't seem to be broken for us and our community, but your gamesave might be corrupted, so try restarting from a previous gamesave.

same here, the movement in minos terminals is really strange, e.g. object 4 ist always lit and i can't activate it with the controller. have to use the mouse. I installed the game yesterday for the first time and started a new game.

If game doesn't use all gamepad buttons why to not make an option to rebind them? I'm pretty sure most people prefer to run with RT and not LT

At a late part in the game when using the "Qdos MS V security console", the gamepad doesn't work to navigate to the 5 "rooms" ... using a mouse works as a workaround.

Using an Xbox One (wireless) controller.

This is similar behavior to the (now-fixed) minos terminal before the patch.

[BaronFalke]

I play it on Steam-Deck using Xbox One Series Controller (Bluetooth).
But the controls do not react to anything. I cannot pass the title screen (menu).

Neither does the analog stick navigate through anything nor the D-Pad.
Also pressing "A" does not do anything. So I am stuck in the title screen.
