Controller Problem

[0-POSSUM]

I'm having a problem with my controller where if I press the triggers, they do nothing; they work in other games, but it doesn't work for me in RE1 or RE0, this forced me to use a mouse in a combat situation and it's really inconvenient for me.If anyone knows how to fix this, that woulkd be great.

The control scheme is set to default?

Best solution would be a xbox/microsoft controller.
You could try to edit the ini file with the right buttons under [Joypad] RT LT RB LB. (If it's an bug and the value for everything is 0 or so)
C:\Users\Y-O-U-R-N-A-M-E\AppData\Local\CAPCOM

Otherwise, the xpadder software could help to simulate the right buttons on your controller.
I use it for example for starcraft2 without any issues - incl all hotkeys, groups, build menu (like in halo wars) etc.. It can be very simple when you spend a little bit time with it. And Resident Evil doesn't need much buttons, seems that you would need only the 4 "top" buttons, if the other buttons and sticks work.

edit: You can check your in-game settings to see if your controller is still activated.

I can't find the file you mentioned in your comment, and my controller is activated in the game, it's just that neither of the triggers are responding when i press them

Capcom is the folder where all the game folders are stored. re0 re1, rev1,rev2 etc.
Replace the Y-O-U-R-N-A-M-E part....
Maybe you still have to show the hidden files. (Folder Options)

What's your controller? NoName, Hama, Razer, Xbox/Microsoft, Sony, MadCatz etc.
The controller is maybe simply not supported if it's a bad controller.

As i've said, try using something like xpadder if you want to use your current controller. Simply set RT LT RB LB. There are tutorials and descriptions for it on the app-websites.

My son can’t get his Xbox controller to work in resident evil 1 on pc at all. Frankly I can’t see any selection option to change from mouse and keyboard to controller. Can someone tell me where such setting is located in the menu system. Or is it something else that is wrong here?

no setting is needed. when the game detects controller input, it just works.

Try disabling steam input.

I had the same problem as OP and disabling steam input in the settings solved my problem. So thank you very much for the advice.

I have a ps4 dualsock controller, and im emulating the Xbox configs for paring it on games. Untill now everything works just fine, i played the witcher, soma and other games without a problem, but when I try Resident Evil the setting just go crazy my A (X) button functions as the B button (0), and every single control does not respond correctly. How can i fix this problem?
