The Front

The Front

Controller use gone after update
I know this game says it has no controller support but i've played now for 362 hours with it. After this last update I have nothing, checked everything I can think of without any success. I'm thinking the new anti-cheat is the reason. Anyone else having the same issues and have come up with a solution?

I don't use Anticheat on my server so this allows me to use my key mapper program now and I can also use the controller as well.
I just tried an official PVE server and this works as well there guys!
Works on Official PVP as well.
So it appears if you launch the game using TheFront.exe it allows controller to work. This is very weird. So the EAC is still running but there is something wrong with the default EAC Game Launcher. Full path to TheFront.exe below

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Front\ProjectWar\Binaries\Win64
