Offical contoller not working

[teufel_barde]

So i booted the game up and tried to link my controller to it, no dice. I searched up ways to do it, such as changing my controller to register as an offical xbox controller, which it already is, again, no dice. I'm wondering if anyone has any solutions to this problem.

Try putting this dinput8.dll in your "ninja.exe" directory:

i'll give it a try when i next install it, i ran into other problems with frame rate stuttering as well and i'll have to fix that first before anything else. (it runs at 50 easily, then drops to 10 for half a second before jumping back up, its super annoying.)

I have had fps drops on my powerful gaming laptop too. Solved forcing from nVidia panel: Prefer Maximum Performance.

If you have a USB keyboard, try unplugging it. I'm on Windows 10 Anniversary and it worked for me. No more issues with unrendered graphics and no sound.

I use an xbox one controller with win 10, doesn't work so I'm going to try that zip file

I was having issues where my Windows 10 would give me blue screen when about to go to main menu of the game and when it does load the game my Xbox One Wireless controller kept disconnecting automatically. Had to turn my controller off completely and load up game, then when it says press enter to start turn it on and voila, says to press start on my controller and works now. Seems there's an issue with this game detecting Xbox One controllers before it loads up.

Try this version of the .dll file: http://web.archive.org/web/20190207140557/http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/profile_download/8522

That one worked for me in the end. The other ones posted in this thread didn't.

@Galwar
Post #1. The dinput8.dll I posted in 2016 was exactly the same in your archive from wayback machine. The .pin file is useless.

Remember to do: Properties > Controller: Use default settings.
DO NOT FORCE Steam Input for this game and use alternative dinput8.dll instead in the same dir of ninja.exe to fully enable XBox controller (the game will also show the correct glyph buttons instead of keyboard keys). That's all.

If you have Steam Input enabled for this game you'll notice it won't use XBox button glyphs in game instead. The gamepad will work as mouse + keyboard emulation mode in this case, and will show keyboard keys (e.g. ENTER instead of A) in menus.
