Controller Support

[musicman31]

Has anyone tried to use a controller with this? It seems that everything in the settings is required and as far as I know they don't make controllers with this many buttons. I wouldn't mind having the option to use the keyboard for a few things.

I play it with a xbox controller on my steam link and it works much better than with a keyboard (for me)

I don't have an Xbox One controller and don't want to buy one for just one game, especially since the one I have has plenty of buttons.

Well, it appears that unfortunately I will have to ask for a refund. I even tried using a keymapper program to assign the keys to controller buttons and even though the joystick part worked, whenever I pressed a button it would bring up the controller setup screen. It is just not letting me play this with the controller I have, which is a shame because if I didn't need to assign a pause button (I usually use the Esc key anyway in these games) and one other thing I'd be okay.

Steam supports officially steam controller, xbox and playstation controllers. They don't guarantee others will work. I use now an xbox360 wireless controller for windows and it works with every single game that supports controller. But before I bought it, I used another one and I couldn't even make it work on Tomb Raider.

The game recognizes my controller fine, it just requires that I assign everything to a button and I am a few buttons short.

And regarding the last issue I mentioned (with the setup screen coming up with a button press), I tried to resolve this by manually assigning the second-player controls to other keys on the keyboard - however, due to another bug it won't save the second-player controls. And I did some research and found out that this is a bug that goes all the way back to 2014.

Still, if it's not a supported controller it may not work properly.
Besides, it's not that you are a few buttons short. The controls menu has too much functions. Just assign movement, jump, action. Most basic functions. The rest doesn't even matter. If you want, tomorrow I can access the controls menu and leave a list here of buttons so you can copy.

To gamepad users:
Is the default setting for Right-Trigger say "Move Left" intentional?
Used as a possible 'shortcut' for gameplay efficacy, maybe?

What controller are you using where you don't have enough buttons? A freaking Guitar? Both the Xbox and PS controllers work. One button serves as multiple things.

Well, problem solved - I bought a new controller. I've been meaning to get a new one anyway since the one I used lost its rumble support when I upgraded to Windows 7 a while back. I got a Logitech F710. Works great. The game automatically assigned the buttons as well which was surprising. It's just a shame the game wouldn't work well with my old controller...I still think it would have been best if they did the button assignments differently.

Probably your old controller uses the D-Input standard, which is the old standard and not widely supported anymore. The new and more trustworthy standard is the X-Input (used in Xbox controllers and similar ones with colored XYAB layout). You did well!
