Controller Support

[Hated XIII]

Has anyone figured out how to get it to work.

This is BS. The controller support is just so buggy, I got it working with the Xbox controller yesterday but the sticks were swapped even though I unticked this option in settings multiple times, made no difference, they remained swapped so was unplayable. Then I somehow got the DualSense to work yesterday but today it wont, even if I engage the DSX app. And neither will the Xbox controller work today for whatever reason. The options seem to have no effect and are highly erratic and there seems to be noone taking responsibility for the game's 'support' as Valve say it is an Nvidia game! Avoid for now if you wish to use a controller.

I got it working on my Dual sense. I opened big picture, went into the original portal controller support settings in big picture and searched for official controller config. I equipped it and then exported it as a template. With that I was able to equip it under portal with rtx in big picture and in game even shows controller info for tutorial pop ups.

This did it for me.

This ♥♥♥♥ is so dumb! It's 2022! Short to 2023! OMG

Watch out:

As said, you can activad "Controller" in the Mouse Options.

Than you can edit Move forward etc.
You can do EVERYTHING

But ONE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing you can't:

You CAN NOT CHOOSE A BUTTON FOR PICK UP! (Keyboard E)

WTF? Ey yo, do you think I play this ♥♥♥♥ with a keyboard in 2022?
Or do you really think I play this full Gamepad but when I need to pick up Item I use the Keyboard for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ E?

Go home guys. Just let it. This is no how 2022 works.
If this was my job, I would be fired - and for a reason!

Then I'm afraid controller support, for now, is off the table. I didn't want to spend time messing with setting one up. So I just jumped back to KB/M.

Thats sadly not a viable option for my setup my pc is a living room console basically just have a crappy wireless kbm combo that i use to get around windows

Have you tried JoyToKey? I've been using it with my dualsense and it works just fine. It does take a few minutes to setup and tweak but it totally works.

I was using JoyToKey but this solution worked for me as well and is much more reliable than JoyToKey.

Cheers guys!

How do you even play this game with a controller? I can't imagine precision portal placement or quickly placing new portals where you need them is even possible, or extremely clunky at best.

It really isn't that hard at all. If it was one of the new Doom games in question, I would totally understand. Portal doesn't require that much precision, unless you are speed-running. I get your point but it's completely playable with a controller. Which I would hope it would be seeing as it was released on consoles as part of the Orange Box.

Shockwave: try this solution. My PC is also a media and gaming center in my great room. This solution completely worked for me. And it's super easy to do.

Shockwave:
This same resolution also works with an XBOX controller and a Switch Pro controller. Just follow the instructions. It's super simple. If you still have issues consider using JoyToKey instead. Also, feel free to dm any questions to me. I don't mind helping.

Take care,

I think you're misunderstanding what this product is. What we are playing is the original EXE that was published in 2007 or whatever in a completely unmodified state. The RTX and new textures are a wrapper around that exe that intercepts the lighting and texturing, but otherwise it can't do anything about arbitrary game code like controller support. The only thing we get then is whatever the controller support was in 2007 and that's it. It's immensely frustrating how bad it is, but let's not play the blame game here, no one is to blame.

Then show me please in the menu where I can configure the keyboard "E" for pickup items?
In my settings, there is it not configurable.

Thanks!

The thing is, why I can configure anything, any action in the settings, but only the keyboard "E" button for i.e. pick up items, is NOT configurable?
This makes no sense to me.

That's he only thing I can't do on the gamepad. Even if I would want to change it from "E" to "M" I can't, beacuse there is not that option.

Even in first Half-Life, you could change the "E" button for actions.

It makes no sense.
