XBOX Controller

[aquilaxxi]

Hello everybody, how should i make Xbox controller work for this game? Thanks.

There is 300 action bars... I have no idea if is possible to play using a controller, if yes it should be a nightmare.

I don't know what 'partial controller support' entails, but I also can't imagine playing LOTRO with an Xbox controller. How would that work?

[aquilaxxi]

OK with that, but, how to do it? Thks again.

WoW, ESO and FF XIV work 100% with a controller.

A controller not having enough buttons is a myth that old school pc gamers in the mid 2000's spread across the internet.

As far as controller goes, you have two options:

1 - Third party programs such as Xpadder

2 - Steam configuration

To use Steam, you need to go into BIg Picture mode. Click on gear icon and go into controller settings.

Select controller type and game you want to configure the controller for. Once inside, take your time looking over the tool and then begin working out how you want things to work inside the game.

As alluded to by Moonvalley, you can configure your controller to work similarly to how FF14 works. You can run many games, including MMOs, like this and often with no to little in the way of restrictions.

OP, you might also try another third party program, Antimicrox:

Somewhere in the forums there's also a document for configuring it for LOTRO.
