How is the controller support?

[RubiiX]

I don't mind playing on K&M but sometimes I like to chill in bed and play on my TV. Just wondering if the controller support is decent as it only says partial support. Thanks.

It's quite horrible, clunky experience, combined with not much feedback from HUD about user actions i.e. swapping gas canister to weapon. Some buttons require long press/short press which is unintuitive, i.e. deploy active ability vs. ping. But it's early access and partial support at the moment.

It’s ok, but definitely needs a lot of improvements.

There’s only one camera sensitivity slider, meaning that you can freely adjust your camera sensitivity for the stick, but don’t even try to zoom in with the sniper because the sensitivity goes crazy.

Tools and your special ability are mapped to Up on the d-pad, so if you hold the button to use the ability, your soldier will then swap to the tool since you pushed the same button assigned to it. Veeeery annoying to use the Hunter’s jetpack and watching how it equips the timed bomb immediately.

Swapping canisters to your main weapon is clunky, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Can’t stop the reward slider from the results screen if you move the cursor with the thumbstick, so it will start to bounce left and right.

Moving the cursor in the menus is slow, no way to navigate with the d-pad.

Even with these nuances, it’s playable.

Why is it such a big issue to just change your controller binds in the Steam controller settings?

stick to mouse and keyboard because the controller support needs work.

I've told you like 3 times changing it in Steam would change menu behavior not just gun etc behavior. For example if you change LB then LB no longer functions like it should in the menu. You've asked this in 3 different threads and I've responded to it at least twice before.

Special ability isn't on d-pad up since the newest patch. it's on LB hold. Reset your controls to default and it should change. if it doesn't I can walk you through editing the ini.

Yes, there are a few functions that seem to be hard coded into the controller. BFD. Change the others. Because you can’t change a few of the binds you act like they can’t be changed. That’s BS. Stop misleading people.

They need to add some sensitivity sliders and a deadzone slider as well.
However, and easy work around is use steam controller settings and change the right stick to a joystick mouse, makes it much smoother aiming and moving.
I also have a sensitivity change on left trigger pull on mine to compensate for lack of sliders until they get it working in game
