Can't attack with controller?
Been playing this for quite some time, but I can't for the life of me figure out how, but they broke controllers in an update? Movement works, aiming works, but I can't trip any abilities, or swing/shoot my weapon, trigger the vgs, emotes, shop, with dpad, all the controls beyond movement seem to have vanished.

Help? Solutions? I can't even find a place in-game to configure the controller controls, only keyboard ones.

A lot of people are having issues with controllers on PC this update it seems.

TL;DR, after diggin more, the answer is 'dont play until they fix it'. Controllers don't use a selected layout correctly, you cannot map unmapped controls or change any of their defaults, none of their defaults let you play like the old setup was, and you can no longer mix kbm controls. Selecting 'preferred controller' means the game won't even let you use 'escape, exit game, click ok', accepting no input from keyboard at all. Also can't choose to shop with mouse, which was faster then using a controller. Apparently the answer is 'wait for another update', as there's no way to revert your controls to the old style.

You've read the "Project Olympus Updates" section? Having to enable the input modes in the controls section?

They explained not being able to mix control schemes in that section too. So that part at least was intentional. Either controller or KBM.

while that might be intended, it's going to hurt controller players An option to use controller for menuing/shopping is one thing, but being forced into it is going to slow us down.

I had not read this, but this is a horrible idea. Why should my matchmaking reflect what I choose to use as a controller? That's going to make it even harder to find matches when they finally fix this...

For anyone having problems. Have you actually gone into options to manually set the control scheme. If not, do so and see if the problem persists.

I have tried several times but every time I press the button ، faced with a blank screen and the game refuses to adjust the controller

the solution is learn how to play with the smite button layouts because they will not let you choice and makeup your own which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they deleted my post about this because i cursed too many times but ♥♥♥♥ them they gave us no warning when changing my settings... i just went into a game and couldnt use controller so i tried to f6 at 10 saying i cant play i dont have a contrlller and they didnt f6 so i quit and uninstalled
