Just a heads up from SCS about changes in controller configs.

[Underscore_101_3]

Save your controls.sii file before 1.51 hits the streets.

It shouldn't affect you if you don't use Steam Input, if I understand this correctly.

Unfortunately, players who have heavily modified their control layouts through the Steam controller configuration UI and shifted them from the default settings may see their custom configurations reset to default after the update.

So your regular controls.sii file should be fine.

Though I should finally make a note on what line(s) I changed in the controls.sii file back then when they did a first change.

Good point, but I'm not taking my chances :-)

dont forget it will mackup the 1.50 profile including the controls so they can be recovered from there also. never harms to have additional backups though

Use windows search and search for Controls.ssi and it should show you a file, right click and select the option to go to folder location. It then opens the folder with the file selected and ready for you to copy/paste into a secure location

You should be fine unless you use Steam input.

I posted this in the announcement discussion thread, but it'll probably be seen better and more likely answered here, so:

Can I just confirm that these 'presets' which are being added will not take away our ability to customise the controls just the way we like? That we will still have the option to go into the game menus and set what button does what as we always have done before?

Snowrunner had no button customisation for gamepads, only a selection of presets to choose from, and none of them were intuitive or even particularly usable for me. I couldn't even manage 50 hours before it just got too infuriating and I ended up binning the whole title. The game had a number of other faults too, but the lack of proper customisation was perhaps the main one which caused me to quit playing it.

If a game were to go from full customisation support to presets only, and remove the option for players to set their own keybinds, that would be a step backwards of such monumental proportions it would be akin to Humans ditching cars and going back to the horse and cart.

I very much suspect that this is Steam Input only. The background shown in the screenshots are very much what you see when you configurate Steam Input.
I also very much doubt that they will remove any personal customisation and have the presets more as a good starting point, so to speak.

I played yesterday, with the g29 steering wheel, and I didn't have to do anything, it worked perfectly, It didn't erase the buttons I had assigned, or anything.

[BattlePants#2233]

I'll just re-assign everything IF the changes affect me.
