ThisGameHasFullControllerSupport!

[NemesisLeon44]

It pisses me off that steam doesn't label this game as having full controller support. You can start it in Big Picture mode via controller then the game loads to menus; you can navigate the menus and play the ENTIRE game without ONCE touching your keyboard or mouse.

Label your games, Steam! And then Steam thinks that ARMA 2 has full controller support.... NO, that's what I'd call PARTIAL support. If there are some points that you MUST use keyboard and mouse then it's partial. If you NEVER have to touch your keyboard and mouse, that's called FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT!

Someone show some support for correctly labeling and organizing things, respond here and bump this thread! Maybe Valve will pay attention and fix this. Far Cry 2 and ARMA 2 aren't the only games that are labeled incorrectly on Steam.

It does NOT work natively with a PS4 controller (or PS3, I tested that years ago). However, you can still use it... I forgot that Steam's Big Picture mode allows you to make controller configurations for each game. Steam is essentially the alternate program to make any controller work for any game now. Even with mouse functionality from joystick usage. Thank you, Steam!

So I have to go into controller configuration then assign the buttons manually because for me in fallout New Vegas I just use Bluetooth, go in big picture start it then it work's so I thought it would be the same but this is old Ubisoft and not Bethesda

It natively supports 360 controllers (no vibration).

There is no proper PS3 support, although it can be fudged.

Nobody will ever look at this thread. Only some indie developers do for their own games. So deal with it.

Sorry to necro this thread - I'm mostly doing it for humorous reasons. For what it's worth, I've just raised with our team that the controller support seems to be missing from the store page.

If it does get added after all those years, then I'll be pleasantly surprised by Ubisoft. I saw in the Dark Messiah forums you're getting involved a little bit, which is far more than any other AAA studio.

wait... really?

Lol that's amazing.

It should be listed as partial controller support, at best.

None of the controller icons can actually be displayed in-game without extensive modding, there's no vibration, and the PS3 controller isn't supported at all, despite the code and sixaxis references still being in the game files.

[Ubi-Thrupney]

That's fair, I appreciate your insights, Hunter Our teams will be able to check the status of the controller support internally and look to update the store page with the appropriate information. I've read conflicting information from various sources, so it's definitely something we can investigate.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying we're implementing anything into the game. I'm just checking if we need to update the Store Page with what's already in the game.

Hey, OP... 8 years after this was posted and it's still a useful post. You did the lord's work almost a decade ago and I thank you. Cheers!

Hey TEDTHETROUT!

Glad to hear that this post was of help to you! Let us know if you have any other questions and enjoy the game! ;)

I love how everyone is saying this thread will be buried and change nothing. In 2022 It's the #1 google result for searching how to play Far Cry 2 with a gamepad.

[BigTinz]

I mean, it didn't change anything though, did it?

the goal was to inform people looking for this information. That was all.

It's a shame the Jackal Tapes bug is still in the game, ditto for no achievements, didn't the console version have achievements?
Either way the controller support is top tier, just as good as the xbox 360 version and as a bonus it doesn't wig out if use simultaneously with KB/M input!
