Controller support only half works

[btj7011]

I used to be able to play this flawlessly with controllers, xbox, ps5, etc. however now no matter if i reinstall, disable and enable steam input i cannot get controllers to work fully. I no longer have the RB button to add players in the menu and half the controller mappings are gone such as zoom in and zoom out, fine aim. I have no idea what has changed, i've uninstalled and deleted every file associated with the game and reinstalled and controllers still won't work properly. I have friends who have the game on steam deck and other computers and it works no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey btj7011,

We're sorry to hear you're having this issue with the controls.

Let's see if we can fix this for you by changing some of the Steam settings.

Firstly, please unplug your controller. Then attempt the following:

1. Launch the Steam client
   
2. Click Steam in the top-left of the client > Settings > Controller and make sure the  'Enable Steam input for "Playstation/Xbox/Switch Pro/Generic" options etc are all toggled on as needed.
   
3. Then simply plug your controller back in and retest the game

Please make sure your Input Controller Settings are set correctly also, these steps are the same but in two different areas - we like to check that both are enabled to be sure:

1. Launch the Steam client and select View in the top-left of the client and select Big Picture Mode
   
2. Go to Settings in the top-right of Big Picture Mode > select the Controller tab on the left-hand panel and make sure the  'Enable Steam input for "Playstation/Xbox/Switch Pro/Generic" options etc are all toggled on as needed.

We hope this helps.

Regards,

None of these suggestions fixed the issue. In the controller configuration I can see that all the buttons work as normal. But in game it doesn't seem to map the X,Y or bumpers. Tried deleting all local files and registries

Hey btj7011,

Thanks for your reply.

We have just tested this and had no issues using the bumpers LB and RB, or Y for freecam.

Are you trying to change the key binds to something else or just using the default buttons?
Can you please reset the controls for game pad in-game to default and apply, then check if the issue continues?

Get back to us when you can.
