Controls F*cked and Those Damn Vines

[thebirdpuncher]

Before I Start I should probably tell you I bought the game on GOG before you wonder why it's not in my library, but Steam forum is usually more helpful so I came here.

What the heck is wrong with my controls on a Xbox One controller? For some reason the R trigger is the button for attack wheel, radio, log book and inventory and it's making the game incredibly hard to play and very frustrating, especially during this AG quest with all the plants and the vines over the doors. Every time I press the button it's like roulette hoping the attack well will open up, yet usually giving me that stupid f*cking radio message I have to press several buttons to escape, or occasionally it gives me the log book.

Also that brings me to the second query, how do I open the doors with vines on them? They say I need explosives or to cut them, yet cutting with my machete only seemed to work on one of those vine doors (the one in the room with the guy hiding from his wife/kid) and the ones in the east and west wings of the basement don't have the option to cut them not matter how close I stand and it's super frustrating as my heatlh keeps decreasing from poison and I keep getting the radio screen (if there's an option to kill the radio guy later on I'm definetely taking it now).

I want to play the damn game, but I'd rather be comfy with my TV and controller lying on my bed instead of sitting at my computer for such a long game, so m+kb is not really an option, and my wireless m+kb are bipolar with their connection so I'm not going to use them long-term.

as you play you will get quests to go into a mushroom cave and get something i think its pesticide, then you need to dump a cure into a few things. once that's done it kills off the pods and the vines . pods just pop doing no damage and the vines need to be hit with anything.

as for the controller idk. i use the mouse and keyboard .

you often need to get very close with the character select the weapon and then hit the vines. If it says "impossible" then there is still somethign to be done with the questchain before being able to proceed. But sometimes a character takes an awkward position and can't hit the vines. I wish the game would automatically make the character walk close and hit the vines similar to cracking saves and disamring mines.

Oh yeah I figured out the vines pretty simlar to what you guys said, thanks. This controller issue still makes the game near unplayable though, especially when trying to start combat ( I go to attack, but open up the radio instead and lose my chance so I rarely never get to attack first)

why use the controller then and not the mouse and keyboard?

Because I'm more comfortable playing longer games like this with a controller and on my TV rather then sitting at my desk for hours.
