How to interact with npcs

[Ｃｈｉｌｌ 塩かヱ]

Like the title says, I don't know how to talk to any npc. Pressing any button on the joystick or in the keyboard nothing seems to happen, a little help please?

What type of controller are you using?
Are you using ANY external controller programs?
Have you tried Z or Enter?

Even without any controller i can't interact with them. I noticed that the "press Z" never appears next to level points or npc. Any fix?

Have you tried configuring it though Big Picture Mode as sugested here?

"Use Steam's Big Picture Mode to change your d-input controller into an Xinput controller. You can use arcade sticks (I have a PS3 stick), old controllers, almost anything. Go to BPM > Options > Controller Settings > Enable Generic Gamepad Support (You can also do this from the regular Steam Desktop Client). Then you can either navigate to the game and go to Manage Controller > Controller Config, or right click the game in your library and choose "Edit Steam Controller Config". You can change any button as you see fit."

Ok... I just tried unpluggin my joystick and now I can interact with the npcs now by pressing Z then i plugged my joystick again, made the config in-game and then no, i can't interact with them again. So, the problem is with my joystick. I'm gonna try using steam big picture now as suggested above.

I posted the same thing in another thread. It seems when you have keyboard and controller set for player one the "z" don't auto populate for any interaction point but pressing enter on levels and bosses still lets you enter them, but not talk to the NPC's.

If you go into Options, and remove the controller by pressing the remove button. Then go back in game playing with just keyboard, and then moving the controller around will bringf in player 2, and then the joystick works fine for player 2 and player one using the keyboard and still talk to NPCs.

Theres also a bug where you can seem to assign those keys "z" really "enter" on the keyboard to any button on the controller.

This works. I think that setting up the controller in game messed up everything. Setting it up in big picture instead worked fine

Glad to be of service.
