I play more games exclusive to that launcher, so I try to buy as much as I can through Epic.

Add the exe to the steam launcher and you can launch epic games through steam to be able to use steam’s controller support. I’ve had to do that for epic games in the past

I will keep that in mind for the future! That seems like such an obvious trick, definitely will be very useful! I ended up just refunding the game on Epic and rebuying on Steam, it seems my creativity ends where my laziness begins lol

Owning PS controller and not using DS4Window or similar software? Like living under a rock.

Honestly, I didn't add the controller until somewhat recently for racing/fighting games, but the fact people still need 3rd party software to use a controller from 1 of 2 consoles that have similarly formatted controllers is just bizarre in 2022.

Why do people keep posting stuff about the epic game store, aren't there any forums???

I am using DS4. Apparently the problem is that the game is reading the keyboard as player 1, even though "P1" is selected under options -> controller, and I unplugged my keyboard.

The controller works in the menus, but as soon as you go into the tutorial only the keyboard works.

Adding Epic launcher to Steam worked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTMMmY-OH5Y&t=62s

The developer said:

We also know that for EGS, every game developer needs to integrate external controller support.
It's just that we haven't got the resources to look into this yet.
We're still trying to improve game stability and matchmaking for a better experience, and at the same time we're also adding new content to the game. We're not exactly a big team, hence why we have to prioritize certain things over others.

Stadia controllers don't work either.

My guess would be that the game is using XInput only, not DirectInput.
So only controllers with XInput compatibility will work with the game.
I think Steam gets around the issue by inserting a compatibility layer that exposes DirectInput devices as XInput.

Ultimately it's a consequence of a lazy Xbox port.

Though Microsoft did the world no favours when they decided to create 2 independent controller Input APIs in Windows, instead of having one sit atop the other.
