No controller support for the prologue!?

[Roland]

Why does the main game have full controller support but the prologue doesn't support it at all??
If you want me to buy your game, let me try your game!

Bump

I refuse to let this die until the devs do something about this

Is that true, the prologue doesn’t have controller support but the proper game does? I tried the prologue and dumped the game because it appeared to have bad controller support, but if I know that the real game does and is better with the UI, then I might just pick it up.

lol I see you are playing the full game.
Is the store page correct and it has full support?

I actually only just bought it… and have submitted a refund request. I didn’t like the game. The UI does show controller buttons but I just found it awkward to use. I didn’t seem to be able to get the D pad to control actions in menus, but just the left joystick and it just didn’t feel good.

May be others aren’t bothered, but it bothered me.

Understandable. Thank you very much for the response and confirmation.

It's effing weird that they have the support in the full release but not the prologue. If it was in the prologue you could have avoided that refund request
(I'd like to award you some Steam points for your time and effort but that feature seems to be broken since yesterday)

When using a controller, The game controls like an fps with a mouse cursor.

The only major criticism i have is that the dpad isn’t usable; but i have zero other problems w the controls.

145 hours on this game all on controller

[Aardzol]

Aye, I just can’t get my head about no using the DPad. Perhaps it is because I never play FPS games :)

I keep getting issues when playing with controller anyway, it's "supported", but the number of times I've been stuck in menus or in the phone, and had to switch to mouse to get out, or had weird sensitivity issues, it's definitely not full support yet.

if there's any kind of hotkeys for the game you could, in theory, use Steam Input to map hotkeys to the d-pad

I believe you can report the store page for incorrect information like that, just sayin.

That's the exact kind of stuff I'd like to play the prologue to see if I encounter before purchasing, since there's the very real possibility that I wouldn't encounter stuff like that until after the refund window is up

It's kinda wild how active this board is that this post keeps getting buried

i mean id prefer devs not to spend a single second on a demo.. im sure 100% of people agree. so why would anyone type here :P

and for the second this is steam. just buy the game and play for less than 2 hours and your guaranteed a refund if you wish...

[Aardzol]

It can’t be that hard to put a demo up. Surely you can put a build up that dies after x days in-game or after x hours playtime?!

[Joeyramone]

there is controller support in the full game and it works great. i play it on the steam deck all the time. you can change key binds.

[DerekTheExtreme]

Actual controller support does need some work. I actually switched from gamepad to mouse/keyboard with custom bindings on steam deck. I found a setup that kinda works for my controller when i'm on my laptop, but it definitely needs some work. You can't bind everything, and some things just straight up don't work. So I have 2 different control types i have to remember for the different places I play.

Also, this is not the first game out there that added full* controller support for the main release, and left the demo mouse/keyboard only. As a next fest enjoyer there are many demos/games I had to wait for full release to play, or hope that i could make a suitable custom binding on steam deck.
