Trying to get nintendo switch pro controller working with this game

[Dragnoran]

is this possible, if so what would I need to do?

...How on earth is that what your options have come to?

At any rate... It's not very likely to be possible at the moment, unless Nintendo themselves have intentionally released adapters and drivers to make it linkable to a PC, which does not seem like something they'd choose to do.

edit: Never mind, looks like they actually used a normal USB plug for it, you probably just need unofficial drivers of some kind to make it read as something.

Have you tried to run Steam in big picture mode?

If that doesn't work you could try this: http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

Am I missing something here. I had the controller first and wanted to use it with the game. I got it for considerably less than the absurd $70 price tag. Is the game better on keyboard or something?

Parkour is a nightmare with controller.You're better off using kb+m

It's best to never mention controller on these forums. Despite being pve and multiplatform there's a few elitests here.

And the parkour is fine btw.

To be honest if you use a controller on the PC version you're pretty much hindering yourself. Since your mobility and what you can do is limited.

[Dragnoran]

k good to know all that, thought the key stuff should be helpful in other games where that is not the case

I dont understand what would be hindered exactly? You can still aim fine since most enemies tend to be the same height in the same faction, there's no content locked out for using one, crit builds require a tiny biy more effort to use, and movement is just as quick and responsive. Even with my measly 250+ hours I've still had many games where I get most kills, hack every Spy console, do every Sabotage objective, melt the bosses I have access to, etc. If the devs didnt want people to have the option to play their game on controller they wouldnt have given the pc version support and made two consoles versions of the game.

Unless you are an absolute god with the controller, you will be considerably slower and less agile than the rest of your team. can you bullet jump effectivley? no. because that requires aim+side+jump, which is hell on a controller. This seems trivial now, but late game this is crucial
