Controller support?

[Kamidogu]

Does the game work with a controller? It says partial controller support. Do I need to download something for it to work with a controller or anything

Go in to steam big picture, then Dead Rising 2, manage game, controller options, and change it to FORCED OFF. Launch game. Done.

As a side note... This works for ANY game where your controller option is "Greyed out". Hope this helps you.

This works, but the problem is it only works if you have an XBox controller, which is the only type of controller that DR2 supports natively. For Dual Shock or Switch Pro controller users, we're still stuck.

Thats really unfortunate I would have thought it would work for any controller that uses a regular X Y input. I've only ever used xbox controllers so I totally believe you. That's a real bummer :/

It's fine. Until Valve or Capcom fixes it (neither is likely) at least the Dual Shock 4 can still be used with a 3rd party program like DS4Windows.

I have the XB1 Prismatic Afterglow Controller and it wont work even if I use 360 CE but Dead Rising 1 works with it

As long as it's an official Microsoft 360 controller, it will work.

Here's what I did to get the controller to work in game with my rock candy 360 controller-

1. Google and download "X360 controller emulator 2.1.2.191" extract it completely and place the file in the folder with dead rising 2's executable file. Should be under steam/steamapps/common/Dead Rising 2.

2. Run the file- Hit "yes" to create ini file, followed by "next" to automatically search for settings. Finish and Save and hit X to close the program.

3. Copy this line

[InputHook]
HookLL=0
HookCOM=1
HookSA=0
HookWT=0
HOOKDI=1
HOOKPIDVID=1
HookName=0
HookMode=0

Open the X360ce.ini with the "configuration settings" type in the folder that was just created.
Then highlight

[InputHook]
HookMode=1

paste over it (Ctrl+V) with the line you copied earlier.

That should do it.

This was info I copied from other sources and put into my own words. Forgive me I can't find the post to give proper credit.

- this is do-able in Word no external sites or downloads needed.

I'm using a PS3 controller over cable, it's emulated as 360 controller via SCP DS3. There is another version that works with PS4 controllers, in case you have one of those. No alternative for Switch though as far as I am aware.

Tried x360ce version 2.0.2.158 from this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=746045037
The emulator detected the controller, I was able to change the controller setting in PC options, but the controller still didn't work in-game. I figured out that the problem was being caused by my Logitech G13 Keyboards analog joystick being detected as controller 1. After disabling it Devices and Printers, x360ce was able to recognize my Xbox One controller as Controller 1, and now it's working in-game. Thanks to everyone that helped me out.
