Xbox 360 Controller
Hello,

is anyone using a Xbox 360 Controller to play the game? It doesn't recognize the Left and Right Triggers (Buttons 9 and 10) for me.

This is a big problem since the 'escape battle' function is bound to a combination of those two buttons, and the configuration screen only lets you change the first part of the combination. So escaping is always Free choice + Button 10.

Just got killed by a T-Rexaur because I couldnt escape :(

Same issue with FF7, but not with non-steam games

I don't know what the default is, but mine was Start + Select to escape.

They were both made for the first PlayStation.

B9 and B10 are the sticks, just press them.

Thanks Kayael you are right, it's the stick buttons. I would have never thought of that :)

you can always change the mapping in game to start and back to make it easier.

well hes ahd the same problem i have, the bumpers dont register, period. meaning remapping them isnt possible at all. and its cause the drivers for teh controller have Axis mapping on them as well as button mapping. meaning when the axis thing triggers it wont register the button as well.

best thing i can recommend is using something like Joy 2 Key or various other tools.
