Controller Support?

[nealiosis]

My PC is connected to my TV so keyboard/mouse games are out of the question. The steam page does not list controller support as a feature. Plenty of games do have support but don't list them as features. Does this game support XBOX360 controllers?

I do have a wireless mouse but the lag is so bad that using for anything other than watching YouTube videos isn't worth the trouble (my gaming PC is also my XBMC/KODI HTPC). The wireless mouse and keyboard are only there for emergencies, like when I want to watch a football game but the SportsDevil addon is failing again :)

I'm definitely not buying a steam controller while I've already got 4 wireless X360 controllers and I'm also not buying any game that doesn't provide native controller support (don't want to encourage developers into thinking its okay to not provide contorller support).

Thanks everyone... I'll pass on this game, I've got plenty of other games to play that have proper controller support.

Hmm, maybe the receiver for them is bad/old? Because with my Logitech G700s mouse I dont feel a difference between it being in wireless mode or with a wire and I dont think that anyone could tell the difference.

I've lost all desire to play this game. If the game had controller support I'd have bought it but it didn't so I moved on to other games a long time ago.

Dudes,... I always play DD with controller. Works very good with JoyToKey .

So don't be rude, its more easier to use joy2key then integrate controller support I think.

I don't get why games that are released on consoles don't have native controller support on PC? It's not like it's 2005 and you have to support all controllers, everybody uses x360 compatible gamepads or x360ce, so Xinput support is all we need.

You're not serious. No way you are comparing native controller support with a keymapping program. I'm not jumping through those hoops to play a game, certainly not when I have hundreds of games in my backlog that have native controller support.

Like I said, I posted this at launch and the answer was no then, and I think it's still no now so I have moved on.

Hey all,

Just wanted to pop in and say that we are planning on bringing controller support back to the PC. When exactly? We haven't set a hard date as we are currently still working on the last PS4/VITA patch that has all the non-critical fixes for UI/UX that we have collected since launch.

While that has been going on we have also begun the messy process of back-porting all the changes that were made for PS4 back to the PC branch and making sure there are no conflicts. Controller support is part of this, but its a bit messier since we are trying to figure out the best way to handle it on PC (which controller glyphs etc) and if we want to integrate with Steams Controller API. All of that takes more time than just porting it back over like the other features/changes/fixes we've done on PS4.

All that being said we are absolutely planning to bring official controller support back to PC, but the timeline is still a bit cloudy. Once I get more info I will be sharing it here and everyone else we post to let our players know the plan.

thank you. you guys are just great :)

Please dont do "steam controller only" like firaxis did with XCOM2. I'm STILL angry at them for that, given how good XCOM1 played with it's native 360 controller support.

I've been eyeing Darkest Dungeon for quite awhile now. But these days i play most games from the comfort of my bed on a BIG TV, so im kinda waiting till it gets gamepad support. Not putting a mouse and keyboard on my chest :)

Steam will soon have PS4 controller support, so that will meld very nicely.

Thank you guys!

I'm fairly confident that it won't be 'steam controller only'

I bought the game more than 1 1/2 years ago while it was in early access. Waiting for controller support for more than 1 1/2 years now. Hopefully with the system in place for PS4 now, it won't be much longer.

Thanks for the reply redhookjohn! That is awesome that you confirmed it for us. I'm going to definitely buy Darkest Dungeon after you implement native 360 controller support.

Excellent. I will certainly re-consider purchasing this title when it has controller support. My gaming PC is an HTPC in my Living Room so I cannot play games that require a keyboard + mouse.
