Xbox One Controller bindings all messed up

[Strangle McDangle]

This is a weird one. Firstly I've double checked my controller is working fine and not registering rogue button presses etc. Basically, it seems like LT is permenantly triggering, as when I scroll through the menu it automatically turns the volume settings all the way down. If I hold RT on the volume slider that will temporarily counteract it though. Also it doesn't seem like it's possible to navigate over to the right side of the options menu on my controller.

Curiously, pressing left and right on the d-pad move the options selection up and down. When I booted into a game, the cat was stuck moving left, and I could press RT to move it right but as soon as I released, it moved back left again. Interestingly from the binding map it shows on screen at the beginning, LT and RT shouldn't even affect the cat's movement?

Pls help with the bindings on this. I feel like this game was really made for controller.

Here's my options.txt (note I have not messed around with this, this is what the game seems to want to generate whenever I select xbox controller):
ScreenResolution<optB>1<optA>InputSetup<optB>0<optB>1<crlA>0<crlA>3<crlA>336.335.332.330.331<crlA>27.32.304.122.120.276.273.275.274<optA>SoundVol<optB>0.6<optA>MusicVol<optB>0.6<optA>Language<optB>0<optA>SaveSlot<optB>0<optA>

Hey Smooth!

We've had a few reportings of this. Seems like there are a couple of possible reasons. Rain World natively supports Xbox 360 and PS4 Dualshock controls, so occasionally if you are using some sort of controller software such as DS4Windows, etc., it will interfere with the native controls and behave strangely. Try disabling that software and see if it helps.

Another variable with this seems to be if you are using Steam's Big Picture Mode. I have NO idea why that might be at the moment, but some users have found that turning off BPM solves the problem.

Hope it helps! If not let me know and we'll keep looking into it.

Thanks a ton for the speedy response! I should have clarified but I did see your sticky post. I'm not using controller software, and I'm not using big picture mode.

Should clarify I'm using an Xbox One controller, not an Xbox 360 controller. Was hoping maybe that options file would give you some hint on what's going wrong here because I'm not really sure what those tags are or what those strings of numbers could mean.

I'd be happy to tinker around with my options file and report back, but I'd need a bit of context for what those numbers and tags mean, because I can't really make much sense out of it.

Ok curiously I was able to get it to work by following these steps:

- Go to the options menu (with controller enabled)
- Scroll to the bottom
- Hold RT to move over to the 'Credits' option
- Keeping RT held down, move up to the controller binding options
- Pick any binding and re-bind it (it doesn't matter if it's to the same button)

And then it suddenly works fine for me. I've also restarted the game a few times to see if it would come back and so far it has not.

here's my new options text in case that helps for diagnosing this:

ScreenResolution<optB>1<optA>InputSetup<optB>0<optB>1<crlA>0<crlA>3<crlA>336.335.332.330.331<crlA>27.32.304.122.120.276.273.275.274<optA>SoundVol<optB>0.6<optA>MusicVol<optB>0.6<optA>Language<optB>0<optA>SaveSlot<optB>0<optA>

I'm pretty sure that DS4Windows is not the issue here, since I uninstalled it and its drivers entirely and the problem is still here.

I use a 3D mouse for work so maybe the game has issues picking which device to choose? if devs want to debug this issue, maybe it's a good idea to install "3DxWare 10" from http://www.3dconnexion.eu/service/drivers.html

Also, I know for sure that the issue is not on my end, because I have a lot of games installed and none of them have this issue

I figured it out, you have to use an Xbox 360 controller. Exit the game and restart it with JUST a 360 controller.

Adult Swim either wasn't forward-thinking enough or didn't have the resources to support the Xbox One controller.
