XBOX One Controller Issue

[MaliceMH]

My XBOX One controller *only* responds when the game starts up to the main menu: "press any botton to continue" after that it doesnt do♥♥♥♥♥♥ I thought perhaps it was just a main menu problem where you had to use mouse/key to start the game. NOPE. After the cutscene, when you can begin playing it says to mash the A button...Well I can mash that all day and nothing happens. Can't move the camera, nothing. Totally unresponsive. My question: WHY is it I can use the controller for "press any button to continue" but falls dead afterwards? Anyone got a solution for this??? Thanks!

I have tried remapping and got it semi working but its crazy confusing. I remap the xbox controls in settings but then they turn into keys lol! Example: When I map in my axis' they change from axis's to WASD lol It makes no sense at all but after I closed out of configurations and all seemed working...the game crashed lol I don't expect to get help from this post just coming to the conclusion this game is too bugged to bother, which is a huge dissapointment because I been wanting to play but its FORTY BUCKS (10year game for 40 hell no), got it on sale for 5 or 6 bucks..got all excited for nothing LOL If I can find some binds online people have made for Xbox controllers to put in the .config file MAYBE that will work. If not...getting a refund to put towards another game.

From https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Silent_Hill:_Homecoming:

Controller Support: To enable, use XInput and go to the controller settings in the game options. Select to use the controller, rather than mouse and keyboard, and press Escape to exit the controller configuration menu. The game will now be XInput compatible.

Agent, that didn't help me...like not at all. But two hours later I decided to go into the Steam controller configuration, browsed the Templates, changed the profile to "Gamepad" noted as best for Xbox One controller. NOW the game is responding to my buttons/thumbsticks as it should, and not all over the place. I never had to do this for my other games so if I'm dumb for not realizing the answers in Steam Controller Configs...then so be it lol Now to see if this game is actually playable!

You're not dumb at all. :)

Homecoming is a glitchy mess, so you always have to find different ways of doing things whenever it decides to bug out on you.

Another thing you can do if you don't want to use Stream Controller scheme, is to open the controller config file for Homecoming, and manually set up your controller. Since you'll be saving it to the data file itself, you don't have to worry about your controller setup going AWOL ever again. :)

The file is called: binds_pc_mjs

It can be found under the folder 'Engine' in the Homecoming folder.

Thank you for the tip! The preset Gamepad config worked well enough, but, unfortunately I ended up abandoning the game because...I couldn't get over the sound issue. Most sound effects would only play through the right side of my earphones. Of all the bugs I had found a work around to, that one tiny issue defeated me! I just annoyed me too much. I ended up watching a Let's Play of the game instead. Never played the game, love Silent Hill. So I at least wanted to see how it played out.
