Gamepad Input Device?!

[twitch.tv/frittenfettsenpai]

Hey,

my Xbox One and my PS2 Controller/Gamepad does not work. I don't want to play it on keyboard....

Where can I define which input device to select? There is no option in the options :D

Wait... are you using a 32-bit version of the game? Is there even a 32-bit build of the game out there? I haven't been able to test the patcher on a 32-bit build of Yooka-Laylee, so there very well could be a problem only affecting that version. If that is case, could you upload your "YookaLaylee.exe" file as well as the following folders from inside the games data folder?: Managed, Mono, Plugins, Resources. I think that should cover all the files necessary to run the game, since I have the data files from my own copy. Otherwise, if you are 100% sure you do not in fact have the the 32-bit version (your .exe file is called "YookaLaylee64.exe", then the patcher somehow broke your "mono.dll" file, in which case I would ask you to upload the "mono.dll" and "mono.dll.bak" file so I can look at them. But that's not very likely since it worked before I sent you to debug .dll files.

Try this and see if it works: http://steamcommunity.com/app/360830/discussions/0/133261907147092284/. While using XOutput is an option, it's not currently being developed and can create other issues/conflicts.

This just works perfectly, thank you so much! Now I can even play it with my old N64 Controller hooked up through a USB adapter. Everyone, try this tool!

You're very welcome!

when you open the game and it says press start, rather than pressing the keyboard, try pressing the menu button on your gamepad

For those of you having problems with Steam controllers, try pressing the Steam icon and going to... Controller priorities? I don't have my controller with me, so I'm not sure, but it's right below controller configuration. From what I've heard, the problems people are having seem to be due to the controllers being set to Player 2. You may be able to use that menu to set it to be player 1.

Or it might just be a matter of either launching the game with the controller or simply not touching the keyboard or mouse until you make it through the "press start" screen using a controller.

For me x360ce 64 bit worked once I set it to xinput 1.4. I'm using an old PSX dualshock controller with an adapter cable.

As far as controller support goes... I had a little luck by holding the key to bring up the legacy configuration Window and setting the buttons to my X360 controller there. I could set movement axis to the left stick and camera to the right.

But this game doesn't work with my Steam Controller which is the one I'm wanting to use. It doesn't see it. I'm on Mac with the latest OS (Sierra). I hear it controlling the big picture mode UI behind the game instead.

On the other hand I really like how this game shipped with full surround sound support!

I'm having the same problem on macOS Sierra. I want to play this game while using my television as a second display. But not being able to get the wireless Steam Controller to work - despite the game page being marked as "full controller support" - is really disappointing. I am not interested in trying to play the game with a keyboard, and if a fix isn't incoming or support isn't provided I'll just request a refund.

As I said though my current fix is to use my older Xbox 360 controller and hold alt down while opening the game and then set the axis in the legacy configuration window. That works for the time being. But yeah I would like to have my Steam Controller working that would be even better IMHO.

Did you try doing the priority thing I suggested?

Worked perfectly. First Try. THANK YOU!



Just for notice, removing batteries in main menu and putting them in again works too. Just dafaq xD But the patch above is a better workaround ;)

I'm going to look into the priorities thing if it even applies in my OS. But I don't even touch the keyboard and mouse generally speaking when I use the SC. So *shrug* But yeah I'll look into it.. but yeah right now the X360 controller works for me.

Pretty much all modern game controllers work with Yooka Laylee. But you'll usually require a $20 dongle for most of 'em. PS4/XBOX360 & XBONE, that is. PS3 controllers can also work, but you'd have to use a driver such as http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller but afaik that's only for WIRED. You're kinda S.O.L for Wireless unless you have a bluetooth dongle you can pair it with.

I solved my linux issues! Here is description of the issues I had, so you may know if my solution is pertinent to you:

- Controller was working fine on Toybox and other games, however, do not in YookaLaylee full.
- You are not using the distribution officially supported by Steam
- When running the game, and you run sudo fusers /dev/input/js0 in a terminal, you get the PID of the game.

The problem lies in the fact that you are using the legacy linux gamepad system, called "joystick" (hence /dev/input/js0). The game needs a newer input system called "evdev". This might not come installed by default in some distributions. The archlinux wiki has an article on it[wiki.archlinux.org]

To get it working, you need to follow the instructions in the article. Which can be summarized to: load the proper kernel modules and add yourself (or the user that runs steam) to the input group. What I did is the following:

# modprobe analog
# usermod -a -G input <username>

Finally, you need to logout and login again for the change to take effect (for me, the easiest way of doing so is to reboot).

Note that the # means you need to run the commands as superuser (use sudo <command>) and <username> is your linux user name (type whoami in a console to learn it). I now can use my controller to play YookaLaylee on Linux, and don't need to boot on my Windows partition!

The bonus side effect is that all other games will be using the better controller interface, and it will probably fix controller issues with other games too.

I solved my problem (Ubuntu 16.04) by checking out the article for Xbox 360 Wireless controller on the Arch Wiki.

First:

Install xboxdrv, unload xpad kernel module.

sudo apt install xboxdrv
sudo modprobe -r xpad

Second:

Create a file, and add the following into it:

[xboxdrv]
silent = true
device-name = "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver"
mimic-xpad = true
deadzone = 4000

[xboxdrv-daemon]
dbus = disabled

Third:

Launch xboxdrv specifying the config as the newly created file:

sudo xboxdrv -c /path/to/file/created/earlier

If this works for you, consider putting "blacklist xpad" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and also creating a systemd servicefile for launching xboxdrv with both the -c and -D option.

So, I think I have a solution, I have had the same issues even with having controller companion installed (BTW i have a generic wired controller). I formatted my generic controller to emulate the XBOX controller. The way I got my controller to work was going in to Steam>Settings>General Contoller Settings and make sure the following are selected: "Xbox Configuration Support" and "Generic Gamepad Configuration Support". Make sure that your controller is listed on detected controllers. For some reason if the "Generic Gamepad Configuration Support" wasnt checked the controller would work in big picture mode and not in game.

This worked for me without any config file edits. I launched the game in "exclusive mode" and it works just fine.

On the day of the release the game worked well on the xbox 360/one controller, I can confirm that since I played it. Right now in Ubuntu 18.04 the controller is not working. So from the day of release until today some update has broken the game and it does not detect the controller well. I mean, it doesn't detect well because on the start screens, pressing B closes them first, but then nothing at all.
Please, fix this. It's very frustrating to see how it worked in the beginning and now it doesn't.
