Controller support

[coreyleesheets]

Partial controller support can someone please explain to me why on red dead 2 it shows partial controller support but ive been reading it works fine with a controller i only buy games with full controller support and now im thinking how many games that i passed up because they showed only half controller support. Can someone please explain this i feel i could be missing out on alot of games that looked good that i passed up. i also have another ? if anyone can enlighten me will a steam controller work 100% with partial controller games because i just ordered one thinking that i needed to and now probably didnt have to could have stuck with the xbox controller Thanks for any info givin back SLAYER.,.

can mean different things,
could be that certain Parts of the game/port can't be accessed with a controller,
for rdr2 that could be the use of typing in social club for example (but this is just a guess from my side),
cause for consoles that would use a different overlay and typing mechanic for stuff like that.

or it could mean that certain controllers besides some mainstream ones aren't supported.
but yeah as you've probably read aswell: xbox controllers (one/elite/wireless etc), ps4 controllers, steam controllers and logitech etc are supported to play the game.

there could be some issues ofc, like i've read that if you enable controllers with steam's big screen mode settings, that the game will not recognize your controller for the game properly.
but there are work arounds for that.

hey mhan thanks for responding i just started gaming on pc so im kinda new to it. Thanks much

np,
there's plenty of free programs aswell that can mimic any controllers,
just takes a bit of research.

and if a game really isn't to your liking cause of lack of controller support,
then remember to not play longer then 2 hours or 14 days after purchase,
cause then you can just request a refund.

best of luck and have fun.

Hmm when you filter fully and partially supported games on steam it completely makes no sense wtf the difference is.
More like developers themselves get confused with this and pick whatever is on their mind.

I think partial controller support means it has support written for some type of controller that's either incomplete or broken. What I know about this game is it fully supports xbox and playstation 4 controllers. Big Picture mode controller support is made to get around these issues so you're probably fine with that steam controller. Controller support through steam is very good. It lets you use controllers with games that don't support them, so as long as you're playing on steam you can go ahead and buy those games.

Like with a ds4 that is fully supported for this game, controller support through steam is for using a ds4 on games that don't support it. It does that by converting it to xinput (the xbox controller language), so you'll get xbox prompts in game. Turning it off in Steam will let the game read the controller natively and give you playstation prompts.

Yeah kinda makes no sense when GTAV has "full" controller support

[JACKSin]

I'm pretty sure I'm right so it just means GTAV fully supports the controllers it's written for, which as far as I know is only xbox.

In my opinion every game they sell on steam should have the option for full controller support and mouse and keyboard both ect.

Greetings, I play with a xbox series x controller and it works perfectly fine, I use an USB wireless key to connect my controller to the PC but it also works via bluetooth or any USB-C cable. There's no program to install or anything it just works.

I am the owner of xbox razer wolverine and every single game works like a charm.
KB/M works fine without any interference

Does someone knows if this game supports ps5 controller?

to quote from there:
If you add the Rockstar Games Launcher as a non steam game and then launch it while in Big Picture mode, it should (at least it gave me) the option to control the cursor with my DualSense and start the game. It then let me use my controller.

so yeah you could use it,
but it will take a bit of tinkering.

Partial often means full support. Partial often is means one button on certain controller doesn't work, or just dual-shock vibration, missing or inaccurate or missing controller glyphs; need oof a key board for the launcher or overlay.

For me Red Dead 2 works perfect with a controller.

I have played game with fully controller support were all my controllers or some controllers didn't work....
