Combat buttons not working

[Eendhoorn]

when I first booted up, I could play fine, no problems at all. I stopped and when I tried playing again, all the face buttons do not work anymore. They do work in the menu's for some reason, just not in combat.

When I start playing on an empty profile they work again, but when I switch back to my main profile they stop working.

I'm using a xbox360 wired controller. I'm on a surface pro 3 with windows 8.

If they work with another profile, it sounds like a corrupt controls save file. Please locate your controls save file here

<Steam-folder>/userdata/<user-id>/237930/local

or here


<Steam-folder>/userdata/<user-id>/237930/local

It should be called Profile1.ctrls

Try just deleting that file, then launching the game!

I am having the same problem. Only difference is I'm using the DS3 controller. The above solution did not work. Basically, the controller works for everything except for combat function buttons. I'm able to click on the functions to get them to work (in this case, I'm clicking them using the touchscreen).

Just out of curiosity, does this still happen if you connect the keyboard and the controller at the same time?

[Funkenstein]

Yes, just tried it, no changes.

Alright I've got it working, though I'm not really sure what did it.

I booted it up after a break, and all of my save files were gone. Initially, the problem was still there, but I switched to a different profile where it was working properly, and then switched back to the first one, and now it works. I made it to the first save and restarted, and it's still working properly. I don't know what the difference was, and I'm not sure why my saves were gone.

Edit 1: I was wrong about switching back to the first profile and having it work, I had swapped to the second one accidentily, which hadn't had the problem yet. The first profile still doesn't work properly.

Edit 2: Welp, I made it up to the motorcycle cutscene on this new game, and after the cutscene, the problem is back. Now my first and second profiles have the problem, but the rest do not. Resetting the progress on profile two does not fix this.

I had the same issue with the action functions no longer working on my controller and almost quit playing over it; however, I was able to fix it by switching to mouse and keyboard. I found it necessary to first use the mouse and left click somewhere on screen and then the function buttons would replace the X360 buttons with numbers(1-4).

Note: Before the mouse reset worked, I clicked the numbers 1-4 to see if it would activate the action functions, and I didn't see any progress.

Having the same problem. created a thread which has all the details but no answers as of yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/57rxtc/steam_controller_configuration_for_transistor/?st=iud095if&sh=4c3ea3b5

If you pause the game and open the Controls settings, can you assign the face-buttons to the attacks? Seems like the binding may have gotten corrupted.

If that doesn't work, can you assign the attacks to non-face buttons?

Just in case anybody finds this in the future:

My best friend was having the same issue (combat functions not working on controller but everything else working fine). What we did to fix it was mentioned above, somewhat. We went to his Transistor data file (see above for location), made a backup of all of the files, then deleted the .xml and the .xml.bak files from the folder. Upon relaunching the game, combat functions worked properly again (using an Xbox 360 controller)

We also made a Profile 2 in game, and swapped between that and his actual Profile, but I don't believe this had anything to do with solving the issue. Just tried it because it was mentioned above as well

Looks like the problem is in <UseTouch>true</UseTouch> part of the .xml file.
Works fine for me without this entry

Edit the profile.xml file in the folder listed above with any program, and find the line; delete it.
This worked a charm for me.
