Gamepad support?

[Caboose]

hi there,
since i play on my tv most of the time (and don't realy care about being incredibly good at fps), does it support gamepads, the store seem to say no, but since it came out on console too....

[McShave07]

Nope, no controller support. You'll have to use something like Pinnacle game profiler / xpadder to use a pad or you can use a Steam controller.

I don't recommend XPadder/Pinnacle because you can't get pressure sensitive movement speed control like on consoles, and thus the overall experience might be bad. You'll just have to play it with Keyboard & Mouse.

hum, thanks for the answers. Do you know if i can use the family sharing on this game ? i have another computer at home, i already share my library with it t play a few titles requiring kb/m

[B Dawg]

It can be family shared, yeah.

With the new Steam update you can now configure controllers to work with this game. You have to use big picture mode and enable it in the settings. I uploaded one profile for use with the 360 pad.

Thank god we don't have to use third party programs any more. Steam should have done this years ago.

just gave it a try (on campaign for now) it is a great news, it work quite well, give us enough binding possibility and have a standard look sensibility actually fonctionnal (so many pc games require you to tweak the damn thing near maximum to feel decent on a gamepad). thanks for the info, i wasn't aware of that.

How/where are you guys getting options for xbox controller in big pic? I don't see anything in updates?

[Caboose]

start big picture. plug your pad and go to setting, a sub category appear gamepad settings.
set it up so it will identify your pad later, now before launching a game you can open manage your game, there you can find a menu to map every button on the gamepad you.
be warry, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up EDF4.1 to me, i can no longer play splitscreen for now (i will update if i find the issue, since everything work on other title)

Does the game support both mouse and controller at the same time? Mouse for shooting and controller for using vehicles like choppers?

[Caboose]

probably, since it's emulated you can probably swap easily.
for those having messed up control after dealing with BP mode, DO NOT USE XBOX ASSISTANCE use the generic xinput one. it disabled the second stick, dpad, and merged controller 1 n 2 in my case. If anything weird happen it come from this.
update: simple fix is to activate xbox management, and when your doen with your game, just go to settings and stop it again. not the easiest way to do things, but it take a couple of second and it work

Remember you can download profiles other people have made for games. They are in the community section of the profiles.

thanks guy

This is helpful, but how do you adjust the sensitivity of the controller? Especially the analog stick sensitivity seems maxed out and way too extreme. Is there a setting in the .ini that can be edited, etc.?
