Can't use controller to select a unit option

[riverrat2800]

I can't select between mortar and rapid fire when using controller in the 2.x missions.
Neither will highlight and the underlying screen switches missions in the background. I have to enable keyboard and choose the mission and then re-enable controller once the mission starts. The controller works fine for everything else. Does anybody else experience this or how to resolve it?

I'm having the same issue as well.

This will be fixed in the next update. TY for the report!

When will this be fixed? This makes the game unplayable on steamdeck, as switching the control scheme for choosing a unit (using the touchpad) locks you out of the controller controls.

IDK why if the devs are aware of this they didn't just deploy a hotfix to address it. It's literally a game breaking, blocker bug. This shouldn't be something bundled in an "upcoming patch" with no release date. It has been over a month now.

I'm so sorry about this - there's a workaround on Steam with changing controller methods (which is far from ideal), but as things stand a hotfix isn't very simple.

We've got a few branches that we need to bring together because of a fairly complex new feature that we're adding, but we have far from forgotten about it.

Still nothing on this?

A bunch of various circumstances have prevented us from getting an optional beta out recently, but those are hopefully coming to a conclusion soon.
