"Hold R3?"

[TROAB]

It says "Hold R3" to discard save data, but holding either stick didnt do anything. After a little experimentation I found that it responded to holding "B" (I'm using an Xbox One controller on Win10 btw)

OK here's the kicker, the next screen says Hold R3 to complete the discard and "Press B" to cancel and go back...

Anybody have any ideas here? I tried a google search as well as a forum search and got nowhere.

I can get through that menu with the mouse of course, but I'm just starting this game and I'm concerned that this issue may crop up in the copurse of normal gameplay

I didn't even realize that they refered to it as R3 on the xbox controller. Playstation controllers are normally R1, R2, R3 but I thought they used different terminology on the Xbox conrollers. Since the game is only avalable for PC and PS4, it may have weird issues with the XB controller.

If you're sitting at a desk rather than a couch, you might want to just use mouse KB. The controller sensitivity settings in the menu don't seem to work for controllers, but I've heard they do work with the mouse.

What exactly are you trying to do OP? You just hold in A to load a save, that's it. You click and hold down the right thumb stick to delete a save.

That's just it, holding the right thumb DOESNT delete a save. Turns out it does respond to pressing and holding B though.

As far as using KB/MOUSE, not a great option for me. I only have one hand...
I can get by on a controller.. but KBM games tend to require more fine motor control than I can manage and still have fun.

Anyway, for now I can just use the mouse on that menu, but like I said, I'm more concerned about mid-gameplay.

Thanks for the input though!

Okay, that is strange. There must some weird keybinding issue going on I guess. Have fun!

The default controller mapping for NMS is designed for the Steam controller. When it tries to transfer to an XB controller, not everything comes across correctly, and some things don't make it at all. You'll have to re-map some things yourself.

Everything seems to work fine on my xbox one controller even R3.

It seems some games need to be in big picture mode for the controller to work right. This game and Prey have both caused me issues with this. The downside is that the game runs terrible in big picture mode (So does Prey) The GOG version of NMS works much better and all thge controller buttons work fine!

I reset the buttons in normal mode but couldn't find zoom for the scanner.

I hope I have it wrong as I don't want BIG PICTURE MODE and I don't want a steam controller! Jumping through hoops to get controllers working on games was something from years ago until Steam introduced this crap.

Yeah, well, I've got a lot of years of practice. Don't get me wrong... I get my ass handed to me in multiplayer games. At least I can play though. Forget about it if I have to press two buttons on the same side of the comtroller at once.. it's all over then.

FWIW, I borrowed a Steam controller and it's not really usable by me. I can manipulate the buttons and sticks on an Xbox controller, but those touchpad things on the Steam controller are just too finicky for me.

I'll have to mess with the mappings... be nice if I could find one somebody has already done for an Xbox controller

So for anybody who cares, I did figure it out eventually.
A few notes:
-The term R3 was confusing me because I usually think of RS (right stick)
-Big Picture vs Desktop had no effect on my system
-Mapping wasnt helping because technically everything seemed to show up ok in there

I had to actually disable steam controller support (or something like that) for this particular game. This completely removes any ability to manage the button mapping or controller configuration via steam, however the net result is that game recognizes the controller natively and everything seems to work fine.

I probably should have realized this as I had to do the same thing with at least one other game (I think it was Watch Dogs).

If anybody needs to know or is curious, I can find the exact screen/setting later on and post it. Again everyone thanks for the help!

Glad to know you fixed it! Have fun dude

As with a lot of games, I don't have these issues because I always play games with the steam overlay, and steam big picture controller overlay disabled. Reason on GOG I don't use their interface ever, doesn't even have to start up (unlike Steam) for me to run my games. I would also never start Uplay, or Origin if it had the same option to play game without it.

Simple rule for any software, the more crap you load the better chance of you having issues/problems with your software. Both Windows and Steam load enough uneeded crap as it is.

Worked for me as well, was having problems with an Xbox One controller. For some reason the menu to make the change is only in Big Picture:
--Switch to Big Picture Mode
--Manage Game
--Controller Options
--"Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers" set to "Forced Off"

Now I can sprint and zoom the visor with R3, and pick up mobile equipment with B. The photo mode controls are also working whereas before I had to use keyboard/mouse.
