Controller not supported

[tot]

I am using XBox controller, and the game did not recognize my controller. I am on Mac

Messaggio originale di Lowlife555:

I'm using PS5 controller, game did not recognize it, even using Steam input. Cannot navigate menus

Same here, I can't even get past the "Press Any Button" screen. Using PS5 controller running game on Windows.

Edit: I tried using an old Logitech controller I had and was able to use that...

PS5 Controller and 8bitdo controller not working. steam input on or off doesn't help. Same for the first game as well, so whatever fixes it here plz implement on the first game too.

Hey tot,

Thanks for reaching out, appreciate your frustration with this, it seems to be a common issue for games on Mac. I've just done a search and found some troubleshooting that has helped others experiencing the same thing on other games.

Are you able to try this:

"Go to "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy" > "Input Monitoring". Click the lock in the bottom left corner to unlock the input monitoring selection menu. From here check any applications you would like to be able to see input from your xbox controller."

Let me know if this helps :)

I manually checked TOI2 in the input monitoring but the problem is still unsolved. Also, I notice that in the game setting, there is only config setting for keyboard&mouse not controller.

Yep, MacOS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101)
Tried with enabled/disabled steam input, nothing worked :(
Went to "System Preferences" > "Security & Privacy" > "Input Monitoring", but there is no "Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter" in menu

You can find the game location in your steam file, and manually add it in the input monitoring

Sequoia 15.1 (24B2082)
Xbox controller
Enabled/Disabled steam input
Added app to input monitor
Still nothing

And as another user mentioned, game recognises controller at the "press any button" step, but that's the only screen where it works

I manage to get dualsense controller working by enabling steam input, but buttons ingame is for xbox controller(

Yes same here i hate ♥♥♥♥♥ xbox becouse ps controller square is not X... :(
Better will be if valve at last let us emulate ps4 contoller not stupid xbox or just let us change dofoult buttons sprite to display on screen. "change to xbox scheme in steam imput"
or "change to ps4 ps5 nintendo scheme in steam imput mode" then all game work normal for all and never more this stupid problem must be resolved :( in windows just juse DS4windows with your controller and will be ok :( i have problem becouse linux is not supported for ds4windows then i cant do nothing like alweys in windows. :(

[Zuzia]

Or valve must make flatpak version DS4Windows to work in any linux and problem will be solved if cant implement other button choice to steam controller options...

Same issue
Mac Pro on M3 chip. MacOs - sonoma 14.5. Controller - Genesis Mangan 400 (X-box like).
What i tried:
- bluetooth and cable connection.
- enable steam input for x-box controller.
- disable steam input at all.
- add steam/TOI2 to mac input monitoring and bluetooth connections.
- launch game in Big Picture mode.
No results. Game detects controller on "press any key" screen and that's it. No further detection of controller.
Controller is working for sure - i was playing with it via NVDIA GeForce Now service.
Also, i try to launch game "Swarm Grinder" via steam and voila - controller is working.

windows 11 23h2. all drivers updated. Same problem. Dualsence and dualshock 4. In the game, pressing any button takes you to the menu. The controller does not work any further. It does not matter whether the steam input system is enabled or not

I ran into the same problem on macOS and tried all these methods, but none of them worked

however, I really wanted to play on my Mac with a gamepad, and I managed to do it by installing the Windows version through CrossOver

so, if you don’t cant to wait for a patch with a fix for macOS as much as I don’t, you can give it a try too

I’m using a MacBook with an M3 Pro chip, macOS Sequoia 15.3, and an Xbox Series gamepad

[Vinnich]

By the way, I noticed that the first Tails of Iron has the exact same issue with gamepad connectivity, it would be great if the developers released a fix for that as well

[Daedalus]

Dualsense Edge here. Only works with steam input enabled. It would be nice to have an option to change the displayed button symbols to PS
EDIT: to be clear I'm on windows. Gaming on mac is kind of a self-inflicted wound

Same problem for me. I can pass the "press any key" to go to the menu and then nothing works with my controller.
i have a wired Xbox 360 controller on my Mac and for now its works perfectly with other steam games with no need to get into the settings.

Same, 8bitdo controller is not working in the game except for the title screen, where it says "Press any button". Works perfectly fine with the same settings in any other game I have.
