Warframe - Custom configuration issues
I've been having issue with Warframe for a while now. If I use the developer's recommended setup the game functions exactly as expected. However, I want to make a couple tweaks like gyro control and using the left pad for movement. If I make said changes, or use a community template, the game seems to switch to using the Desktop configuration. However, if I discard changes and switch back to the developer configuration, it works again.

Rebooting, verifying game cache, running as administrator, and reinstalling the game does not seem to fix the issue.

Hmm, that's odd. Is this issue due to a new update, or have you always had it? If it's new, it's likely a bug. For now, I would copy the profile you want into your Desktop configuration when you play Warframe.

I've not had this problem, but I haven't played in a few days, and they just updated Steam.

I've had this for a few beta client updates now. I don't remember exactly when I first tried it, but it hasn't ever worked properly for me.

I had a weird problem of not being able to use Warframe at all when I first tried beta. I reverted to stable client, and then againt got beta. This somehow fixed my issues with Warframe. You could try that. Or, if going back into beta breaks it, and beta doesn't have anything you feel you need, just stay on the stable client.

Short, It works okay for me.
UPD: I've always been on beta.

I've gyro on R-TPad touch. L-TP abilities on touch and also another config where stick swapped with L-TP: move<->abils.
I'm playing via PBM and without. The only thing that I can't close chat tabs while i'm in BPM in any way and it won't allow me to use LMB and RMB on triggers in some menues at soft trigger action (full pull has it's defaults), while without BPM it works... but cant chat with fancy OSK then :\

Weird, I don't have those problems either. I think some of this needs to be submitted to Warframe's forums. Their own configuration is supposed to work on the menus just fine. In fact, it's supposed to change away from the combat config when you are in a menu. Did you perhaps change the bindings in the menu area? That might have removed some functionality unintentionally.

Just tested with the non-Beta client and it worked. Switched back to Beta has the same exact issue. Guess I'll switch back to non-Beta for the time being

I've reported this to forums long ago. But seems that SC support isn't the first priority for DE. Anyway
Yes, I was talking about menu section. And I did it intentionaly.
It's not removing functionality, it won't catch my binds for some reason for dual triggering. It's not a steam problem tho. I dunno, I'm just telling my story :)

And without BPM it works like I want it to now (it wasn't like that from the begining), but I can't use OSK apparently.

So, It has some issues but anything like Tom(?) described. At least for me.

Yeah, that's what I would do. Especially since Warframe is one of the games I repeatedly go back to. Currently taking a break, but I'll eventually go and wipe out some more Grineer again.

That's really really weird.

Aside from that. What should you expect from the SC "support" if some of the action STILL named Action 1, Action 2 and so on in there? ;) Now go and try guessing what it really do :D
It definitely don't meet the Valve support requirements. Let's hope and wait.
But it's better than it was let's say a month ago and pretty functional so far.

That is likely your problem. I would go with the default binds for menus. They are more than adequate. However, there is the possibility that you just haven't set up the dual stage triggers right. Make sure you are selecting the right kind of dual stage triggering. Depending on what you want, you might want simple trigger, hip fire mode, or even aggressive hip fire mode(I think that's the name), and then there are some others available too. You need to have the right setting for it to do what you want.

And without BPM it works like I want it to now (it wasn't like that from the begining), but I can't use OSK apparently.

OSK is supposed to work outside BPM, but you have to use a certain button combination to bring it up. I think it might be Steam Button+Left Stick Press. Changing your binds to default for menu might be better. There is a similar problem for normal controllers in BPM. It's caused by changing bindings. Unless it's a must have change, I suggest using defaults.

So, It has some issues but anything like Tom(?) described. At least for me.

Well, his appears to be beta related. Hopefully Valve will see this bug, and it will be fixed.

BTW, it seems we use a very similar control scheme. XD

Please, don't get me wrong! Defaults work in every menu. I just need some way to close chat tabs, you know, when it stucking - nav is getting crazy. That's why I need RMB there, but it won't work with chat and some other menues. RMB won't work, all other stuff is okay. Am I clear? :)

Ikr.
I had hard issues changing xb360c setup, everybody does. DE just don't give a ♥♥♥♥ for customers. I mean, people who want custom settings :).
And I don't just dislike default setup, I hate it. That's why I stick to KB+M till now.
You still can't customize XInput controllers in certain ways, and DE aware of it... Well, beta is the answer for all errors :]

It suppose to work like that :) Have no idea how DE end up with thier recommended settings. Who aside from poor console users using it with fun? I want names. I've a bunch of frineds in WF, and guess what do they thing about it.

I should stop whine about that. Sorry, but it's been so long in my heart. For years. Even when I finally can have some fun with controller playing WF my friends still trashing thier XBC, because DE can't find a single day to fix a thing for 3 years.

The B button usually closes the chat tab just fine. I'm not sure why you're having that issue.

The 360 controller will allow you to customize decently as long as you don't use BPM, but then you don't get menus to work. I've reported this issue, but nothing done so far. I think that controller users are such a small portion of Warframe's customer base that they just don't think of much other than getting it to work with a very basic configuration.

I'm actually still working on getting my configuration just right. I uploaded a few of them for other people to try, and see if they like it. I need to do that again soon, because I think I've found an overall control scheme that works well, and is decently comfortable. Now to just get in the prerequisite hour of playing before actually uploading. Only thing that needs to be done, is adjust the keybind for Push to Talk, and adjust sensitivity.

Oh, my binding for melee is kind of wonky right now though, but that's because of my old 360 binding being uncomfortable on the SC. Right Bumper used to be melee, and right trigger was channel(I wanted gliding the same for both modes, so the triggers were switched for melee). I switched channeling and melee attacks. I might change it to add in dual stage trigger, but that might be bad for energy consumption. It would only really help with the glaive type weapons too. :/

I see that I wasn't clear enough. Read carefully :D, C h a t t a b s. I'm not having issue with closing chat with B button at all. I can't close ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ custom private chat TABs :P If you found any way to do this in BPM, please, give me a hand.

Melee.
I was trying to use dual triggering for channeling but it won't work for me.
Slash & block for soft pulls and slash+channeling & block+channeling for full pull. It was nice in simulacrum, but in real battle when it getting tough like 80+ mobs I'm smashing my triggers all the way down :D
So, I end up with R-TPad click for channeling and also have a higher sensivity on melee. ;) Also I've channeling on both bampers but just don't use them, I'm using channeling for healing most of the time, but in case I will I doubled it to bumpers. ;)

Okay, sorry, that was bad reading comprehension on my part. I did find a way to do it, but it's a bit awkward. Step 1. Make sure the mouse is placed over the spot where the chat tab will be when the chat menu is opened. Step 2. Open Chat Menu with Left Trigger. Step 3, Using a button bound to Right Click(I used left Grip for trying this out). This opens the small menu for individual chat tabs. Step 4. Hit the "Select" button(default being A button). It's clunky, and surely the Warframe developers can do better, but it is a workaround for if you want to use BPM.

English:
I know this thread is old but just in case anyone reading this has not found a fix yet:

Supposedly, DE is not keeping controller-support through Steam up-to-date, so Steam players have trouble customising their controllers.
It is not just Steam-controllers; also 360, XB1, PS3, PS4 and PC gamepads have this problem.

Apparently, installing Warframe directly from the website, instead of through Steam, solves the issue for PC and Xbox controllers. I do not know if this fix works for PS controllers.

---------------
Français:

Je sais que ce fil est vieux, mais juste au cas où quelqu’un qui lit cela n’a pas encore trouvé un correctif:Soi-disant, DE ne maintient pas le contrôleur-support via Steam à jour, de sorte que les joueurs steam ont du mal à personnaliser leurs contrôleurs.Il n’y a pas que les contrôleurs steam; aussi 360, XB1, PS3, PS4 et PC gamepads ont ce problème.Apparemment, pour installer Warframe directement à partir du site Web, au lieu de Steam, résout le problème pour les contrôleurs PC et Xbox. Je ne sais pas si ce correctif fonctionne pour les contrôleurs PS.

Désolé si mon Français contient des erreurs. Je n’ai pas pratiqué depuis un certain temps.
