Playstation controller icons?
Greetings,

I'm using a DS4 to play the game, is there an option to enable playstation icons, or a mod maybe?

No option in-game. There's a 3rd party program called DS4Windows that I have used for that purpose for other games before. It can be a bit of a hassle though.

That' exactly what I use but the game recognizes it as xbox controller. I have no trouble playing with other icons usually, it's just that xbox icons are colorful and that clashes a bit with the survival horror tone. Well, no matter, I'll wait for a mod and play it with default icons in the meanwhile, thanks for the answer!

You guys gotta put that in. Girlfriend is playing and she's only used to using a PS5 controller. Causing more frustration than fun.

Yeah even though I'm a K+M user for third person stuff like this game... That's pretty dodgy and this sort of 'Oh just use a third party app' solution is going to turn a lot of people away and is reflective of a lazy development :/

The game is literally *on* the Playstation systems, you can't tell me that they use the Xbox icons on the PS5 version of the game...?
The UI and icons are already present and coded in - just bring them to Steam (And most importantly lets us toggle them manually, don't auto detect!)

It's a shame that in 2024 this 'Xbox controller only' prevalence is still one of the most annoying things plaguing PC gaming, as if devs everywhere think we have/like/use Xbox controllers by default or have their layouts memorized. (All I see are Nintendo Buttons when I'm given ABXY, and they are all in different spots than the Xbox layout :steamfacepalm:)
