Map button on gamepad
The in-game tutorial popup says to press the menu button on gamepad to get to inventory or press&hold to get to the map and it works that one time, but after the initial tutorial it always goes to inventory, no matter if I hold it or not. If I go to the settings the map button is not assigned to anything.
Is that a bug? I can't seem to map press and press&hold menu button separately to these functions.

I know there's a "guide line" button and I'm using it, but I'm not asking about that.

you have to disable steam controller overlay :) if you dont, the button will be set on the options button. you can switch between playstation and xbox button prompts in the ingame settings anyways. so no need for steam overlay.

Wow, disabling steam overlay actually worked. Thanks! The settings window still shows no button for the map assigned, but it works anyway.

I never would've guessed it had anything to do with the overlay. Funny that it somehow works in the tutorial anyway.

long press mapbutton = map
short press mapbutton = inventory

This is what i discovered. I didnt disable steam controller overlay but i will give that a try too to look if this make the movements better.

I know what it is supposed to be.I said it didn't work like that. It always went to the inventory.
But disabling steam overlay fixed it.

I was happy too soon :/
It worked for a little while and now it randomly stopped again. Always goes to inventory.
It's gotta be a bug of some sort. I'll try to figure out what triggers it.

For me it works with XBOXONE wireless controller.

You have XBOXONE controller too?

Also i have disabled the steam controller overlay, zero difference compares with when it was set on enabled.

1 last more thing: did you update your firmware recently? (if XBOXONE controller)

Yes, I'm on Xbox One wireless. I didn't update firmware.
It seems to be something within the game itself triggering it, because I now restarted the game with overlay and it works, so the overlay was a red herring. There must be some in-game action that triggers it. I just haven't figured out yet when it happens precisely because I'm not opening the map that often. I just play normally and at some point it stops working and long press starts to go to inventory instead of map.

Buddy, now longpress doesnt work anymore for me. I am at the point where i get the kinetic movement ability for the first time. Shortly after that i could no longer use longpress to see the map and get inventory every time.

Yeah, it's gotta be a bug. It's probably gonna work again if you restart the game.

A lil tip: I just assigned the Rig Map button to the back button directly and left the inventory button unassigned. I use the map more often than the inventory, so for me it's better that way.
