Help getting game controller to work on mass effect?

[sabbathhank]

I tried setting it up in steam I downloaded one controller mod and I think it might have either screwed up or wrecked my computer a bit so likewise from much experience I am extremely leery of downloading programs from random sites on the internet.

The controller just don't seem to work at all, I managed to make the right joystick move the camera around and that was it, I hate playing this on the keyboard it is awkward as hell and very uncomfortable. My gamepad works automatically for some games and it is very easy and intuitive, like Cyberpunk 2077 that was just released, it works surprisingly well on this game.

Is this normal to have problems getting the game controller to work on mass effect?
are there different versions of the game? there's like the trilogy pack, will it work on that more easily? I just downloaded ME1 on it's own.

Thanks.

The only comfortable way to play with a controller is to use this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect/mods/60

I find this extremly useful and works with almost any game,the only inconvenient is that it only works with a PS3,PS4,Switch joy and pro controller but it is ambosolutly worth it

You can inspect them with fully open source tools you can compile yourself, mister.

The only problem I have is that's a long time from now.

Game has no native controller support but still can be played with controller !
Boot Big Picture. Make your own settings using KEYBOARD&MOUSE as a template OR use community templates.

There is no need for downloading any third party controller apps.

I tried this in the steam settings and tried multiple preset and templates changing the settings manually on the controllers and I ended up only getting one of the joysticks working, it just won't work for me for some reason.

So you tried to set WASD for left thumbstick and mouselike joystick for right thumbstick?
And make sure xbox(?) controller support is enabled from Steams settings.

For the love of god, just install Dybuk's mod.

I believe so yes, I did it all manually, you're given a template for a controller and asked to map all the keyboard buttons to the controller, I did this several times and still didn't work strangely, I generally noticed that only games work that say "controller support" on the steam page already otherwise the keyboard sign only has keyboard support. No one else has experienced this?>
