Opening inventory with controller?

[captaingoat]

Using either a wired Xbox 360 controller or a wired PS4 controller, I cannot open inventory. The right trigger opens the character selection wheel but that is all it does. Has anyone encountered this?

I'm having this problem too, did you ever figure it out?

me and my friend are using a xbox 360 and a ps4 controller and everyting works... execpt for the fact that the right triger/thumper/whatever-it-is-called does not bring up the inventory as the game says it will, but brings up the character wheel... we tryed a fews things but so far none have worked out...
) validating game files
) changing controller settings in "Big Picture"
) restared the game to see if it was a reocurring bug
) tryed to update controller drivers (the were the newest ones)

Just to make sure: The trigger is supposed to bring up the character wheel - you then select which of the options you want with the joystick. Just hold down the trigger, tap the joystick in whichever direction you want, and let go of the trigger. It should open up whichever option you selected, including inventory. It randomly fails for me... maybe 5% of the time? But for the most part it works.

If this is what you're doing and it's not working, I'd let Larian know. This game seems to work fine for some people and be buggy to the point of unplayability for others.

The trigger is supposed to, however, it doesn't. What we find is that the left trigger, dedicated to the party panel, works with the right trigger. The left trigger does nothing at all, ergo we can only access the party panel. Seeing as we're playing Lone Wolves, we don't get a lot of use out of that function. This also prevents us from leveling up, which is kind of a huge deal breaker, lol.

Some research into the matter tells of Xbox One drivers combined with Windows 10 updates messed up the Z-axis controls, despite the fact that we're using a 360 and a ps4 controller (we even tried two ps4 controllers).
We don't know exactly how steam handles controller drivers, especially for ps4 since they're a bit off the map on PC, but we assume it makes use of installed xbox controller drivers and that's what carries the fault over to the ps4 controller.

We're gonna try using a 360 emulator, to see if that does the trick and unmesses (censored btw) the control scheme. We'll keep you updated.

Update: the xbox360 controller emulator is working as a charm... it just doesn't fix our problem.... we still can't open the inventory screen with the controllers I.E. we can't level up... we have just decided to save, go to main menu, switch to keyboard and then level up from there... but inventory management and equipping equipment is a pain, as we have to put it in the hotbar and then equip it from there (and seeing if it is equipped is very hard as there is no charecter info screen for us)... so far we have not been able to give each other items either so that is also on the keyboard when we are leveling up...
I personally have not had a problem with the game before this and really like it and the story (what I've seen of the story) so far, but it is getting to a point where we are playing it more to show that we can, than to enjoy it...
It just felt like either a driver or a patch messed something up on the controllers, as all the other buttons works as intended but not the triggers, but after troubleshooting for close to 6 hours of total time (yes we also do other things) we still actually don't know what the issue is, but it looks like the triggers are working as one trigger.

Our understanding from doing a bit of research says that the 360 has a trigger layout which goes from 0-100 where the normal value is 50 and using either trigger will make it swing either way. That is, they block each other, so to speak. However, the Xbox One controller is supposed to have two different axis/values here, what with the z-axis and z-axis-rotation (?). However, That does not match up to the triggers in Divinity Original Sin 2 seeming to still cancel each other out. Surely there must be some firmware/driver collision with the game, but since the 360 controller and Windows 10 are both up to date and using the 360 should be supported acccording to other forum posts by Larian*, it's impossible for us to tell where the errors happens.

I am having the exact same issue. Good to see that several months later nothing has been done about this.

"good" indeed

Fixed it. I was using a PS4 controller but it was being picked up as an XBox 360 controller. In order to fix I:
1) Closed DS4 tool (made sure it is completely closed)
2) Set up the controller in Steam settings as a desktop PS4 controller, made sure that it was connected through steam (change the default light to something else so you know steam is connected by the light)
3) Set up the controller in DOS2 steam settings.
4) In game forced the game to see the controller as a PS4 controller.
That fixed it. Not sure if this would help an XBox 360 controller but you could try (4).
Now if only something could be done about the long loading times sigh.
