Wired Xbox 360 controller

[gudbye]

Hey guys, I have a Windows Live Controller that works for pretty much everything I have here on Steam. But it doesn't work at all on this.

Considering the game says it has full controller support in the store page, is there something I have to do to activate my controller as I can't use it for anything on it.

[祥你了]

you need to set from the options first

I'm trying to use a wired Xbox One controller, its set in options, its on, and it still doesn't work for me.

[Mr. Manual]

I just plugged it in and started up the game. It was set to 360 controller by default.

[gudbye]

I already set on options, still doesn't work

[Mr. Manual]

Dumb question, but is the light on the controller lit up?

[Misha Lane]

Yup. Light is on. I unplugged and replugged it back in too.

[gudbye]

Same

[Moga CMDR]

i did not have to set mine in the game options it worked automatically, but I also use the controller to start the game at the menu/video which in some games helps them realize which device to use.

I can't garuntee this as a solution. More like I 'thrashed my way around, and got it to work, and these where the last things I did that I think contributed to it actually working'. With that said, here goes:



I actually had this same problem - at first startup the game's default controller was the xbox controller I had hooked in, but it wasn't recognizing the inputs.I went fishing around in the 1st game's forums. Going as far as checking and potentially mapping the commands in manually. I checked the guide here:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=393853614

This involves editing a configuration file. For rebirth 2, I actually found the file at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\46999675\351710\remote

it's a file called 'Neptune2'

It's worth noting since I actually have the game actually installed on a seperate D drive. Where this thing was found on C. The first game's config file, in comparison is right inside of the game's main directory (where it's installed).

=================================================================

So First thing I did was check if the inputs were the same. You'll notice that there will probably be 2 'controller' lists. One for the keyboard and one for the actual xbox controller. Each list maps the 19 recognized buttons for the neptunia game to other peripheral devices. Whether it be keyboards, or an xbox controller. See the referenced guide for more information.

I Compared this to the rebirth 1's input config file, as seen below:
This was located in:
D:\...\steamapps\common\Neptunia Rebirth1

NOTE: I Installed the game on a different hdd and in a different folder. But Everything after the ... should be the same for everyone.

I did the lazy thing and just pasted over neptune2 with the above and SAVED THE FILE BEFORE OPENING THE GAME AGAIN. I ran the game, and noticed that now it was skipping the movies via xbox controller inputs as expected.

The neptune 2 file, when reopened after closing the game again ends up going back to the way it was before. But it now recognizes my controller in subsequent starts-ups of the game.

I can't really explain why it does that. But notice that Neptune2 spaces out the inputs, making it more cleaner. Maybe the parser for reading the input files was based on Neptune1 and broke when the programmer tried to make it come out cleaner? Or maybe it's that last voice line? I have no idea really.

==================================================================

TLDR: Short Version

1: I Looked For the Input Configuration File for Rebirth 2:
Look For 'Neptune2' in the drive where your steam installation is

2: I Copy pasted the contents of 'Original Neptune Rebirth1 Config File' (above)
into the neptune 2 config file and saved it.

- You might want to use your own neptune1 config file if your controller worked in the original game. Look for a configuration settings file called 'Neptune' in the Neptunia Rebirth 1 Game Folder.

3: I Ran the game and it magically recognized the xbox controller.


BE WARNED!

1 - It may have been a complete fluke.

2 - if you mess something up, you can delete the neptune2 config file and the game will regenerate the default config file on startup. (mentioned in the referanced Guide)

===================================================================

I Hope this helps someone's troubleshooting!

I use an xbox one controller and it works flawlessly

[Misha Lane]

So, pressing the big glowey button on my XboxOne controller to bring up steams big picture, whenever I tried to launch the game, it told me I needed keyboard and mouse to play. My controller still doesn't work. Amusingly, it doesn't work in Re;birth 1 either (I just tried)

[Vashe]

The big button doesn't work on pc and it never did. Same for xbox360 controller oO You have to select the coneotroller in the options. I finished rb1 only playing with this controller so...

[Misha Lane]

I was talking about Steam directly; it activates Big Picture Mode.

But that's not the point. The point is now restarting my PC fixed my issue. So try that people having problems. I unplugged my controller before the restart, and plugged it back in after the restart.

[gudbye]

Well, i feel like a dumb.
I disconnected the controller from the CPU, rebooted and connected again.
Then I started the game, and it worked out.

[Vashe]

If your xbox controller was plugged into your "CPU"... no wonder it was not working XD
