Gamepad

[Saintred]

Hi, I love this game so far, but it's not recognizing my wireless Xbox 360 gamepad for windows. The gamepad is working because I can get to the game with it from big picture mode, but when I enter the game it doesn't work and the Gamepad option says "No gamepad detected". I've tried turning it on before entering and while in game. I'm running windows 10 if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello Saintred,

That's unexpected...
No real way to understand why it is not detected.
Is it a 32bit or 64bit Windows ?

I used the official Xbox 360 controller for windows and everything worked perfectly, button icons and all. That was on windows 10 as well. I didn't use big picture mode, but I doubt that is the problem.

Thanks for your feedback Matsukarhu.

Maybe picture mode is a clue... we'll see Saintred's answer.

64bit windows 10 enterprise. I'll try a few more things and report back

Thanks Saintred :)

Alright so I have more information, but it's wacky. I've tried reboots, starting the controller at different times: before starting steam, before starting the game, after starting the game, and tried updating Java. Not using big picture I had the same issue. I have some logs which I'll paste below. The thing that got the controller working (temporarily) was to unplug my mouse. If I ran in big picture (so i could still launch the game with controller) and unplugged my mouse, the controller was detected and everything was cool. When I plug my mouse back in and launch the game it still fails.

Here's the game.log output:

Hope this helps. I'm going to see if my steam link/steam controller works now, but since it'll hit this computer I wonder if the mouse will somehow screw it up still.

Thanks

Something to add.. I can plug the mouse back in while in the game and the mouse and controller both continue to work, but when I exit and relaunch with the mouse plugged in, the controller no longer works.

[Saintred]

Anyways, for anyone thinking about buying the game and reading this thread... I want to point out that it's ****ing awesome that a dev is responding and even with the keyboard, this is an amazing game. BUY THIS GAME!!!

[monsieur_max]

Thanks for your investigation.

Looks like, for some reason, Jinput ( what the game uses to detect and use gamepad ) is not able to use your mouse and that makes the gamepad detection fail.

I'll investigate if it's possible to change this behavior, but it's a part where I got very little possibilities.
For now, you'll have to use your workaround:-/
I'll get back to you.

Side note, no need to update Java, a stable and tested version is provided ;)

[Saintred]

Brief update, the steam link+steam controller works fine too. What's so weird about the mouse thing is that the mouse continues to work in menus even though its failure seems to break controller detection. Oh well, at least I have ways to play with the controller now.. thanks for looking into it.

[monsieur_max]

Saintred : yeah well JInput is only used for gamepad, not for the mouse. So only the gamepad is failing :) That explains that.

I'll keep you informed. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Saintred,

I made some changes in version 1.02, which is available in the beta branch
To activate this branch, you need to :
> go in your game library
> right click on The count Lucanor
> select properties
> choose the Betas tab
> select Beta branch

Not sure if this will solve your issue with the mouse that troubles JInput.

Let me know if this changes anything at your issue.

[Saintred]

The beta branch fixes my issue! Awesome, thanks!

[monsieur_max]

Yay !

Good news, thanks for helping solve this potential issue :)
