Controller icons (PS5)

[Domo]

Is it possible to show PS5 icons in game, rather than the xbox layout?

[In Ink]

Nope. Hope they add this.

Hey there! This should already be in the game if it detects that you're playing with an official sony playstation controller. However, it won't do this if Steam is using your controller as a Steam controller - in which case it looks exactly like an Xbox controller to the game!

There are plenty of great YouTube videos on how to make sure your controller is properly set to your type, so hopefully you'll be able to get this going in no time!

It only works if cabled, have not managed to make it work with Bluetooth, trying all kinds of settings. Anyone has it working with correct layout with Bluetooth?
When I disable Steam input, it displays correct layout, but controller doesn't work with Bluetooth (but this same setting works with cabled).

Also there is some Steam issue going on, when in pig picture controller settings for this game, when you choose "Cassette Beasts: Gamepad" layout, you get error:

"RaiseJSException: Method call failed: Input.GetConfigForAppAndController call had invalid argument (arg 0): double_value: nan"

I'm convinced though that Bluetooth not working properly with icons is something devs of this game didn't do right somehow. Maybe it's a Godot issue or something. I rarely have these issues in other games. Or maybe it's a complicated issue, and would take too much work to replace icons in in-game settings, but maybe not.

I have a similar problem with bluetooth not working but wired working with my Ps4 controller and steam controller input turned off.

It works and shows ps4 buttons with wired but does not work with bluetooth yet odly still shows the ps4 buttons so i am guessing its recognizing the controller but the controls are not mapped with bluetooth. Just an uninformed guess though.

If I disable steam input, it shows the ps4 buttons, but they're greyed out and the game doesn't accept any input. This is true while wired in.

Did you manage to find a fix for this? Currently having the same issue

Nope, refunded it.

Hey, just popping in to say I was having the same issue and I did resolve it, though I don't know if I did so permanently. I basically had given up trying to get the game to show PS icons with a dualsense in either wired or Bluetooth, but decided to give it one more try. Plugged the dualsense into my steam deck dock via usb, turned it on, and realized I never shut down the game, so it right away booted up into the in game connect controller screen and it was all PS icons. I unplugged the controller and connected via Bluetooth immediately after, went through the prompts in game to reconnect the controller and the PS icons remained! I'm using Proton 8.something (I don't want to close the game out of fear that I'll lose those icons again and the game docked has weird lag in the steam menus for me😬)

I'm trying with my PS4 controller and everything is grayed out, no input working. :/ Has there really not been a fix released for this? My controller works with other games, so I really have no idea what's going on.

I don't know if this will work for everyone, I've managed to reliably get it to work for myself but it's a bit convoluted.

First off, I'm using a docked steam deck. I had to plug in the PS controller wired, which for me puts it into the second controller slot. Go into the steam menu, switch it to the first slot (I had to actually put the steam deck to sleep with the game running and then turn it back on with the controller already plugged in before it let me open the steam menu with the controller), and then the controller will work, but may show Xbox icons still (first time it automatically switch to PS, second time it remained Xbox). Then I unplugged the controller from the usb and reconnected via Bluetooth, and Cassette Beasts in-game controller connect prompt appeared and swapped everything to PS icons and allowed me to use a PS controller wirelessly.

It's a bit of a headache, but it worked for me. It may be docked steam deck specific fix tho 😐

[Rocket2049]

it already does, turn off steam input for playstation controllers and restart game, showed them immediately for me, on my ps4 gamepad and no other program/tool gamepad thing open (i wish more games worked natively with ps4 pad, ds4tool is great but one extra step for 90% of my games)
on a laptop to be clear idk steam decks stuff at all

Why is there not just an option in the Settings menu to choose which icons are displayed? It is the simplest solution in the world and there is honestly zero excuse for this not being a thing in every single game with controller support.

Like Paradigm wrote, can you pls just give us the option to choose our button layout.
the auto detecting is...not pretty good sadly
