How to play with an Xbox Controller?

[DarklordKyo]

I tried manually remapping to my Xbox controller, but the triggers won't bind (if the left one is any indication). Any way I can do so without something like Xpadder or Controller Companion?

Map the triggers to the keyboard in Xpadder, then it should work.

There is (many years already) this official Steam feature (note that its setting FOR the GAME are working IFF Steam overlay is working in the game; otherwise one need to use its settings FOR DESKTOP).

Raina, forget about outdated (Xpadder, Joy2Key) and paid (Controller Companion) utilities. They are not needed on the Steam at all.

You, my dood, are a badass, thank you for pointing that out, always thought that was Steam controller exclusive for some reason. Also, nice Ragna the Bloodedge pfp, really gotta finish the story for Central Fiction.

Wow. Thanks for the medal. It is the first one for the help for the last game in the Soul Reaver trilogy. Others (30+) are for the first game. :Lurcher:

Ehh, I mean, technically, the Soul Reaver games are a subset of Legacy of Kain, but whatevs, thank you either way.

I just started the game with a wireless Xbox One controller today, and I applied the unofficial 1.1 patch[www.thelostworlds.net] and the widescreen fix[ps2wide.net] both linked on the game's PCGamingWiki page[www.pcgamingwiki.com]. I don't know if the initial download was version 1.1, but the patch program said it was already applied.

If your game's version 1.1 (you see a little yellow 1.1 on the bottom right of the title menu), then from the title menu select Options -> Control Options, and set the top item to "Gamepad 1 + Keyboard." Then select "Configure Gamepad," and in that menu, set "Gamepad Type" to Analogue, and "Secondary Stick" to "RX - RY." Finally, select "Configure button mapping" and set the controls how you want.

After all that, the game seems to run perfectly either through Steam, or just going to the game's install folder and running defiance.exe, though previous Legacy of Kain games required me to set them to run in a single core to prevent a bunch of crashes.

Also, the camera manipulation sucked even in the original console release, and it's no better here.

There is no "Gamepad1+Keyboard option despite my game version being 1.1.

Try Xini or disable steam input, then switch the gamepad to direct input mode if it possible and set "digital" in game controls settings.
