Missing Shout, Wait, and Char Menu with Controller **SOLVED**

[OgamiGoro]

So I've been using a Logitech f310, which is modeled after the Xbox 360 controller, for the last several years with zero problems. My game is modded. This controller recently crapped out, so I went through a series of new ones.

First I tried my PS4 DS with 3rd party adaptive software, and everything worked except the Back button, so no Character Menu.

Figuring it had to do with innate incompatibility between Sony and Microsoft, I went out and bought a new Xbox One/Windows 10 controller. Upon launching the game, not only did my Character Menu not work, but neither did my Shout and Wait buttons work. These would be the Back, R2 and L2 (Bumpers) respectively.

So I returned that and bought another Logitech F310, figuring it was the same model as before, tried and true. But sure enough, there is no Char Menu, Shout, nor Wait buttons available at all.

Here's what I've tried so far:

~Trying to change the settings in the Control tab is a nonstarter. With the controller plugged in, there isn't even an option for Char Menu, Shout, or Wait. Unplugging the controller makes these functions appear immediately, but they disappear as soon as the controller is plugged in.

~Went to Steam Big Screen and checked/unchecked the appropriate Controller Configs. No effect.

~I tried removing the Config. ini's in my game folder. Made things worse.

I'm at my wits end. This game is now unplayable and I've not found any other solutions online. Help please.

You need an Xbox 360 compatible controller, if you can find one.

Then again, if the functions appear when you unplug the controller and then disappear, that indicates it's trying to work, but something is stopping it. Possibly Windows itself. See if there's a specific driver you can download, or plug in your old broken 310 and see if it reads everything correctly. Save the INI files somewhere, plug in the new one, and dig through the new and old INIs for the controller references. Copy the old working entries into the new INI and save it.

The F310 is read as an Xbox 360. Like I said, it's worked this entire time, for years.

Unfortunately, the old F310 won't even connect anymore. But which ini's are you referring to? I see some that are Config files and some that are Base files.

♥♥♥♥, well this was stupid.

So I solved it. I didn't even notice the option in the Control menu to Return to Default. It was the Y button.

As soon as I did, all the functions reappeared, and I merely had to remap it to my preferences. It works fine now.

The new controller was nicer. I wish I had figured it out then before I returned it. Ah well.
