(SOLVED) Gamepad Not Detected

[Jrawb]

The game does not detect my directinput gamepad. I tried x360ce but it still doesn't detect it. It only knows that I'm playing with keyboard and mouse. How can I get Dead Cells to detect my gamepad? Thanks!

Buy a PS4 controller. You'll thank me.

directinput is outdated AFAIK.

[Jrawb]

I can't consider spending more for a gamepad an option, because I rarely have to enjoy playing games using a gamepad. My gamepad is cheap, but when I use it, it works great, except with this game. Playing Dead Cells with keyboard and/or mouse feels unnatural.

You using big picture mode?

[Jrawb]

No, I do not use big picture mode. Should I try using it?

[Aizawa]

if you use big picture mode, go into settings (while your controller is plugged in) you can see the controller. if it recongizs it. i came into a problem where i had inputmapper installed and it made steam config for controllers invalid so maybe work with that

[Jrawb]

I will try that. Thanks! I'll give you an update.

UPDATE: SunBro, setting it up in Big Picture Mode worked! I can finally enjoy Dead Cells better. Thank you!

Thank you, SunBro!

Try JoyToKey.

It lets you bind keyboard keys to your controller buttons. When you press a button, JoyToKey tells your computer that you're pressing the corresponding keyboard key.

The game will simply think that you're playing using your keyboard.

Try using the latest version of x360ce and going to Game Settings, selecting deadcells.exe, then ticking the "64-bit v1.4" and "64-bit v9.1" boxes in the "XInput Files" section on the right. You then have to "Apply/Synchronize Settings" at the bottom and confirm the action. Close x360ce and see if you hear the "Ding!" when starting up the game, which means that x360ce is hooked to it and emulation is in progress.

I never heard the DING! , am i doing something wrong?

Once configured normally,through the Internet,
when the x360ce opens.
After, go to Options, in Installed Files check the box xinput9_1_0.dll, go back to Controller 1 or 2 and put save.
See if all the keys are working inside the x360ce then save and go to the game, if it does not work test with more marked boxes.
Tested x360ce with 32bit version (x86).
You can try to do the same with the 64bit version of x360ce.

Thank you for the solve. If it doesn't works make this changing on the 32 bit boxes on the left side of the 64 bits(First line and the last line). It works for me like this

Hi, none of these worked for me but it worked when I started the game in legacy opengl mode, go figure. Not sure what the difference is tho, will check that out too now, it looks fine...
