Controller and Holding Buttons/sustained fire

[Dr LeadRaine]

I've found that playing with a controller is limiting me to single shots only - holding down the trigger for weapons like the minigun will fire a single bullet and the barrel won't move, but holding down the left mouse button gets full sustained fire and the barrel rotates. I have a similar issue with sprinting, which moves me forward a pace or two and then goes back to the standard walking speed.

I've tried mapping buttons to the controller, but the same thing happens - I think the game is realising its a controller input and still limiting it.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a workaround?

UPDATE: After some experimenting, I've found that for some reason a soft press on the trigger allows for sprinting or sustained fire for about five seconds before it stops again regardless of how much ammo you have left, but a full press of the trigger gives a single shot.
I've had this on both an Xbox One controller and a PDP wired controller for Xbox

Hello there!

Thanks for reporting this issue.

We've doubled checked here and everything is working with our Xbox controller. So I suspect that's a controller configuration problem.

You can set up the Steam controller for Vampire Hunters and there make that all the triggers and buttons are as expected.

You can access the controller configuration by right clicking on Vampire Hunter on Steam Library and going to Properties. There you can access the controller configuration.

Please let me know if that does not work.
Cheers!

Hi, thanks for getting back to me
I've checked every setting on the triggers and they're using the default options that come with the game. It's the same default settings as every other shooter I have on steam and this is the only game that's affected.
I also tried altering the trigger settings to see if eliminating the soft pull command and going for a more binary response works, but it still does the same thing - pulling the trigger counts as a single button press, for some reason releasing the trigger counts as a single button press as well, but still no sustained fire.

I've tried every controller I can get my hands on - I'm up to four now - and I've had the same results with each of them.

Any ideas for more things I can try?

EDIT: I've also just noticed that the soft pulls - which aren't even mapped as a command - are giving a much faster fire rate than holding down the mouse. I'm wondering if the game is reading it as multiple rapid button presses rather than a single pull

I see. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue.

As mentioned before, we were unable to replicate it. Therefore, we are going to review the entire controller code to identify any potential flaws. We will release the fix as an update as soon as we resolve this matter.

If anyone else is also facing this problem, please inform us here.

Are you by chance playing the game through some streaming setup like moonlight/sunshine, etc. and have the xb1 controller paired via bluetooth with the machine you are streaming to? I had pretty much this exact issue with several games that manifested in various subtle ways. i am using an nvidia shield(androidTV) to play from.

it turns out, the xbox one controllers dont fully comply with bluetooth hid standards that some games choke on. the answer is to buy(unfortunately) a usb dongle that understands these quirks such as the "8Bitdo Adapter 2" and bluetooth pair with that. (note you have to probably get firmware updates for both controller and adaptor to ensure they are speaking the same language. Ms seems to like to change the quirks for some reason.)

Sorry for replying to such an old post as i have just become aware if this game. i did see you mention you tried a wired controller so maybe this doesn't apply, but maybe it will help someone that drops by.
