Wrong button prompts for Dual Sense (PS5) controller

[dro]

It says press Circle to confirm but I have to press X(cross) to confirm.

Honestly I'm glad I got even one button to match up. I spent atleast 10min trying to configure the confirm/back buttons as they were all kinds of wrong.

For some added help:

Even though it says Dash is Cross, it's not. It's square.
Even though it says special is Circle, it's not. It's Cross.
Status and Escape buttons are correct.

same Problem here

Yeah unfortunately it looks like the current GameMaker version I'm using has some compatibility issues with the PS5 pad. It's not the latest version though so I'm going to have a look into updating it over the weekend and hopefully the GameMaker devs have fixed whatever issues there are. If not I'll add in PS5 specific button prompts so at least they should show correctly. :]

Not a PS5 pad only problem! I'm using DS4 windows to simulate a 360 controller and the same issues are present there so...

Huh interesting. Something you could try is go into your Steam Library and right click on Boneraiser Minions, click Properties, then click Controller and set it to "Disable Steam Input". Does that do anything?

Just to add to this:
I use a DualShock 4 with native drivers (the ones that cause it to be detected as an Xinput and thus led to our discussion on glyphs back on Spirits Abyss). I just now noticed that Square/X are being swapped on the UI as mentioned by OP. Went in and disabled Steam Input as you recommended to Akropulis, but nothing changed; controller still works fine, checked auto-detect to be sure and it still forces Xinput glyphs, and Square/X are still swapped.

I should have a PS4 Dualshock arriving in the next couple of days so I can get to the bottom of this. :]

Sorry for "necroing" this but do we have any news on this? Been playing this with a ps5 dualsense for over a month or two now and it still gets me from time to time when it says to press the wrong button >__>

Yeah I did pick up a PS4 pad and the button icons seem fine for me. The swapped button issue seems like it might be due to other software (eg DS4Windows) or a gamepad setting in Steam. There's some suggestions here if you want to check it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1944570/discussions/0/3395175706750174296/

I don't use DS4Windows and steam input is disabled.

Still same issues since launch.

Despite what the screenshot says, "Circle" is not back. Triangle is.

If I change the Dash button and press Square, it changes it to "Cross" on the UI and it changes spell to "Circle".

With this setup here:

It says Triangle is back and Cross is confirm (in bottom right).

Triangle IS Back but Square is confirm actually.

The controls are actually so wonky I don't even bother playing on PC anymore even though I've championed this game on other social media sites I visit and I really enjoy the game. I haven't tried on steam deck yet.

Oh sorry yeah I just checked with my PS4 controller and it worked fine until I changed the buttons which completely mucked things up. Button icons went wrong and eventually couldn't change the Dash button from Square. Very odd. Will get that fixed up for Monday's update.

Thank you for still looking into this!

My issue is similar to dro's, I also don't use any software and I've tried changing steam settings to no avail.

My actual controls are dash: X, spell: circle, status: square; but it shows like that ingame~

[caiys]

Yeah not sure if there's an extra issue with PS5 pads specifically since they are quite new so GameMaker may not have had time yet to fully support them. But on Monday's update I'll make sure the PS4 pad issues are fully fixed and working correctly, then let me know if there's still an issue with the PS5 pad (I don't have one myself). If needs be I can just do a quick patch adding a PS5 Button Icons option that switches around the icons to what they need to be. :]

[SirPanty]

Well, the icons haven't changed for the dualsense after the update, however I did find a setting combination that seems to fix the issue. In game go to settings > main > controller and set it to playstation icons (I had it set to auto). On steam right click the game > properties > controller and set it to enable steam input.

Doing this made the icons match the controller buttons just had to rebind them. Dunno if this started working because of the new update or not but hey, it's working now! (And hopefully it'll work for the others too~)

[caiys]

Interesting thanks for checking that out. :]
