Still no controller fix?

[AbyssWalker_501st]

I've tried disabling the controller manually, different controllers, changing the settings and still no way of making my controller work.

Controller worked ok for me. Using logitech f310 if that helps.

I think it's the game engine itself that doesn't like certain controller (360 and Xbone controllers seem to be problematic). I've played other games running on the same engine and they all have the same issues. I've also tried to play this and the others across multiple different systems over the years, same issues persist through all, and I'm not about to go out and buy a different controller when I have plenty of 360 and Xbone controllers kicking around to use. I think I've had some luck in the past in disabling the controller in either the game or a settings file and using an app like Controller Companion, but outside of that, I haven't really found any other fixes, and I doubt any will be patched in ever as it seems to be an engine issue, not a game issue.

Did you disable the left analog stick in the game's Steam controller settings (not in-game)?
The stick trumps the pad if set as a directional. If you haven't updated to the newest, borderless version, running in XP SP3 compatibility works for 360 controllers.

I can't use my PS4 Arcade Stick Sanwa wtf?

I used a ps4 controller, it didn't work at first, but I pressed F4 (to make the game fullscreen), and then the controller worked. I use my ps4 controller wireless, dunno if that info matters though lol.

Are you launching from the new .exe in \vanguard-princess? After updating, the old .exe remained on my desktop. Launching the new .exe fixed my controller and freamerate issues.

Can second the ps4 controller fix from Josef217. Pressed F4, game goes fullscreen, controller works... Cool. (not using mine wirelessly so yeah, doesn't matter.)

Will this game work with a Dualshock 4?

[AbyssWalker_501st]

Not an actual fix, but what they've said is correct, if you play with a PS4 controller (plugged in, I haven't tried wireless), the game works just fine with any window mode.

So I went ahead and bought this game and the game doesn't seem to read my DS4 at all. I even tried to use DS4Windows to read it like an xbox control yet no success. :(

Okay after playing around with the game for a bit, I now have came up with a solution to use my DualShock 4 (PS4 controller).

-First I turned off the Steam control support.

-Then run DS4Windows program.

-Then I set it to "hide ds4 controller" which makes my PC to believe I have an xbox controller plugged in.

-Lastly, check that box in the game settings that says something like "activate game controller"

With this I was able to get my DualShock to work plugged in. It even made my d pad usable!

The only issues I'm having is the game forces your controller to be read for both Player 1 and 2. So anytime you load up Vs Mode, both characters will react with the same buttons! A partial fix for doing Practice Mode is to remap Player 2's buttons, I recommend the L3 button since it's not used anyways. There doesn't seem to be a way to remap the directionals however, so Player 2 will be moving with Player 1 still.
