Controller support not working

[Citizen Cook]

I have gamepad enabled but it isn’t working at all in the demo.
Also, I’m playing 4K on my TV and the text isn’t scaling up at all.

yeah, why even bother to release this if there is no controller support or support for big screens. Pathetic

It’s the same nonsense that accompanied Portal RTX as well.
So many PC gamers use controllers now and HL2 features native controller support and 4K upscaling. How can these devs pour so much love and attention into 4K assets and high end card performance and then fail to provide the fundamental basic necessities of play?🙄

Glad I found this thread - saves me the trouble of downloading it. No controller support for a game like this in the year 2025 is just ridiculous.

Controller works fine, just played it with a Dualsense

to make it work with gamepad

right click on half life 2 rtx , go to properties , gamepad , set steam input to forced off

launch big picture mode, launch half life 2 rtx from there.

Perfect, this sorted it for me, thank you.

Weirdly, the first time I started the game the controller worked out of the box. I wasn't in Big Picture Mode and I didn't change any settings. I was surprised and impressed. But the next time I started the game the controller wouldn't work whatever I did.

No idea why, but at least it's working now.
