Is the movement supposed to be this stiff?

Or is this yet another quirk of the port?

Framerate stutters at times but it's playable, but this pad issue is rather annoying, it's almost like I'm using a d-pad to move instead of an analog stick.

Nope, it's an issue with the port. For some reason, movement is locked to 45 degree angles, even though it wasn't that way in any other version of the game.

It is a known and recently new issue which they're working on. If they're following the roadmapthey published yesterday then they're going to focus on the issue now, since apparently the window resize issue was fixed in today's patch.

Well, at least they're working on it, that's something, I guess.

I couldn't even use the controller until I enabled 'generic gamepad support' on Steam settings.
Would you happen to know if they're working on native support specifically?

At any rate, thanks for the info, it was very helpful.

What controller do you have? The game natively supports XInput (Xbox controllers), DS4 HID (DualShock 4/Playstation 4 controller) and DirectInput (generic controllers).

Only caveat for DirectInput/generic controllers is that they need to be adjusted on the main menu.

Also, initial preview fix for 8-directional movements is up in a branch called ”Preview”. Right click the game in Steam’s library, select Properties, then navigate to the Beta tab and change Branch to ”preview”.

I second this. I used the preview beta from the very start of playing today, and I've found the game to run very well.
