Full controller support?

[AllieAlways🩵]

I've played a little of the game so far with my Xbox controller on steam deck but it doesn't detect/use my controller unless I switch the layout to keyboard and mouse? Anyone else found this? Or something I might be missing?

I just booted the game up on my deck and the controls are working as intended for me, so I'm not sure what might be the issue on your end. Perhaps restart your deck? I've had several instances of odd behavior on mine that were instantly resolved with a restart. Hope that helps.

i have the same problem

I couldn’t get it to recognize controls on the first boot. But restarting the game worked. I didn’t change any controls from the default. I’m also on the Beta OS if that makes a difference. I often have issues with games not seeing controls on the first boot, I don’t understand it but it seems like a Steam Deck issue.

Another issue I've found is that the controller sensitivity is incredibly high with no way to adjust it. You'll often find yourself zooming through your inventory or moving in a way that you didn't intend to do.

I done the restarting my deck and it worked with my controller now, so thank you! Will keep this in mind for other games too 😅
Still a bit laggy with movement but at least the controls are easier. This seems like it could be a good game, but I'd definitely have said it was early access and not full release, also considering at present it has around 4 hours gameplay/story.
