MGS1 Unplayable on PS5 Controller

[TierceShinTake]

I cannot open the codec menu when I get calls in game, I also just can't open it ever to try and save my game. I'll likely wait for modders to make the game playable on Keyboard/Mouse, which is sad because I had hoped to be able to get the achievements in the game, but I think modding the game removes the ability to earn them so this has pretty much ruined my purchase. :(

If anyone else has figured out a fix to get the ps5 controllers to work plz let me know cause my touchpad seems to move my mouse cursor around and even control my computers volume it doesn't work as intended at all. It's like the game recognized all of my inputs on buttons but it doesn't recognize my touchpad at all when I press it.

open controler configuration on steam and rebind select button

Also the in-game manual says that the codec can be accesses by the share button or the pause button but neither of those worked to open the codec.

Could you tell me the click path starting from steam?

Looked more into this and it seems steam doesn't allow the rebinding feature anymore ppl had methods to get back to the older version of steam that allowed this but it seems it is now no longer viable so were screwed

Codec is the pad just like explained in the game.
To save you have to get someone on the codec which happens right after going up the elevator.

The problem is your controller config.

Dualsense is fully supported in both versions of the game.

I have no idea where you heard this or why you think this but I'm in the Beta, literally the bleeding edge of Steam, and I can rebind no problem.

This Dualshock 4 and Dualsense are both FAR superior to an Xbox controller.

Not only does it have gyro, but you can turn the touchpad into 16 different buttons easily, and even use the Mic Mute button to map functions that aren't on the controller, like how many games don't put Autorun on controller. (And all of that is not even getting into Haptic triggers and how much that improves feedback)

You're literally telling them to use an inferior controller when Steam Input has supported Sony controllers since 2016.

the superior controller is just mouse and keyboard but this game hardly supports it, also Dual sense is for people with like giant hands anyway lmao. i own both and end up using the Xbox One 99% of the time and every game with Haptic feed back i literally tried once and put it away cause it feels annoying to feel like i'm fighting against my triggers all the time.

What??
The Dualsense makes you curve your pinky and ring fingers in MUCH more than an Xbox controller to grip it. The grips are literally smaller. (I have a Gulikit King Kong Pro 2 on my left and 2 Dualsense on my right. The GKKP2 uses a Xbone shell.)

I even just took one in each hand and overlayed the backs of them so the Dualsense is in the foreground and can still see the Gulikit grip behind it on both sides. I don't have a flexible measuring tape handy or I'd give you exact diameters...
