xbox controller issue after update today

inventory button menu stop working after nms update. any idea why and how to fix it? thanks

I didn't even know this was an issue. Thanks for letting me know. (I use an Xbox controller, but haven't play the game with the new update yet today.)

Getting tired of the frequent patching and them breaking ♥♥♥♥.

Same issue for me here on Mac/Steam. Controller works fine when I swapped over to PC. Experimental branch update for today didn't address it. Just filed a bug on zendesk.

Yeah the same thing happened to me when I was using the xbox controller on mac. It seems the game always points the 'toggle view' button to the 'xbox' button.

Yep, this happened to me as well. Also Xbox controller, also Mac. Going to see if I can report this to Hello Games so they'll fix it. Game is unplayable now.

Edit to add: I submitted a bug report using their Zendesk feedback form, and I linked them back to this page so they know it's not just me.

I just try to use my nintendo pro controller and it’s the same issue as the xbox controller

A temporary solution that worked for me:

in-game settings>controls; remap the inventory by pressing and holding the menu button, it will remap to the launchpad button (the big glowing one). This should make the menu button function as normal.
Need to do this for menus, on-foot, in-flight, and exocraft.
(When playing, you still press the menu button as normal, it seems the inputs are messed up in the code atm.)

You may need to disable overlay or other function attached to that button in steam if you normally use them? (IDK, i have all that off)

Maybe not ideal, but can still play the game as normal without having to press tab.

(edits for clarity/accuracy)

Hi team,

My VR is packed away at the moment so I can't test, but have HG fixed the Xbox controller issues? As in, is it now 100% playable with a controller and I don't have to use the Quest controller things?

My controller stopped working completely until I enabled the Steam input support. Never had to do this before.

I think another problem on the controller right now is: the RS button likes to shift upwards sometimes even if there is no input from the user.
Maybe they will fix this bug sooner if we all file a bug report on Zendesk? I am worried that Mac players won't always get the priority for game developers.

Same issue here and I use Mac Steam. Remapped the button and it shows as the light up XBox button, but at least I can access the inventories. However, it doesn't work for hold to skip (like milestones and warping into systems). So frustrating.

This game is disgusting in terms of "support". Constant messing arround adding stuff nobody asked for while basic functions remain broken or even worse, get broken.
