No controller support?
Is there a way to enable controller bindings? only button that works is start, and can't bind any button to any function.

So whoever from you all do have controller problems dont use XBONE controller, right? Because since i use that the game works well with this controller. I can sprint, fire, jump, navigate menu (the new UI) and more.

You said you forgot to unsub but then came back twice, you were told to use search and still wasted more time cursing at me instead of getting your answer by doing so.

If every single thread had one dupe the forum would be even more a mess to try and read up for more important bug fixes than it is right now.

P.S I know for a fact you would not be so big with your mouth outside your moms basement so less of the keyboard warrior crap.
Maybe you should shut your c-u-c-k mouth. I also need controller support with my current setup. If you don't have an answer or any input about the post's subject, why are you even in this thread to begin with? Step yourself tf out.

I ended up not unsubscribing from this thread and it was worth it, edgelords like this 'helmutcheese' are like those xbox team vs sony vs nintendo: act like they are "big on their high horses" and end up projecting themselves on others so they can make through their stupid life. Don't mind him

Already refunded the game, but I only use xbone controller anyway, could make it work once but even so there's no option for things like: axis inversion, controller sensitivity, not being able to navigate through options with controllers, and so on. I mean, I don't mind having to use other options like 'joy 2 pad' for older, pre 2010 games, when pc gaming wasn't a big thing, but nowadays it's unjustifiable for me. If the devs think it's not worth their time to add proper controller optios (they can make it in a few hours, I presume), then I'm not gonna spend a dime on their games.

I played the new version with an Xbox controller last night, it works almost flawlessly you just have to reconfigure the buttons in Steam. That's not the real issue , the lack of aim-assist, however, makes the game almost unplayable especially when you encounter the first grunts and later the assassins. They move so fast that it's almost impossible to not get killed in higher difficulty settings. I still hope the dev's think about those who enjoy playing games on their big TV screens .....

Like you said: "you just have to reconfigure the buttons in Steam", that's not proper controller support, it's the same as using joy 2 key, antimicro, etc. I don't mind it for older games like Quake 4 (I still play to this days) which was made back in 2005. This is a 2020 game with little to no support at all, and like the other guy said in this thread, the version of source engine they're using for this game does have native support for controllers, but it's a dev choice to implement it.

Controller navigation through menu works with the new UI, controller sensivity is possible in Big picture. inverse axis not sure about that but still believe it is possible too in big picture.

Look here for a quick example how big picture works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnqX_Y170Eo

That's a workaround, and not proper support, like my answer to Xenomorphlover just above you, it's the same as using antimicro, joy to key, etc. but thanks anyway. Like I said before, if the devs think it's not worth their time to add it, then they won't have my money, didn't know this game exists until yesterday on a digital foundry video, bought it not even thinking it wouldn't have controller support on a 2020 game. Already refunded, may buy again later if controller work 'right out of the box' with a future update.

If you guys manage to bring proper support, and make it work 'right out of the box', I'll buy it again. Lots of people play on big tv screens, came from consoles, etc. I'd say it's pretty standard for pc games nowadays (except maybe for rts and online only games)

I know. The whole point of our recent UI revamp was to enable controller support in the first place. We think something might be bugged, hence the investigation. We will see what we can do to sort this.

And everyone - stop with the flaming and namecalling. It's childish and unnecessary. I'm going to start handing out bans if that continues.

I try to be respectful with anyone who comes and try to help, but some people just come here with the same comments instead of ignoring the thread if it's not useful for them. End up having fun with them. haha
