Remap Xbox360 controller
After the latest update the game became unplayable with 360 controller because the X button is bringing up the weapon selection screen now, which conflicts with all other actions performed with the X button.

I've already reported the bug, but I don't expect it to be fixed soon. Instead, how can I remap the 360 controls?

I guess I'll still try to find a solution, just very odd though.

Edit: By the way, my mouse is actually a mousepad on a high-end wireless keyboard so I'd rather not use keyboard and mouse for this game since it would be awkward. That's why getting the game to read my controller is so important to me lol

EDIT: Nevermind, got it to work.

Didn't know the game used Steam controller support and not actual native support. That was my issue. I only now have one thing to fix which is, pressing up on the left analog stick causes the camera to go up as well as the character to walk up. I'll figure it out I guess.

EDIT 2: It works perfect now *thumbs up!* I'm so happy lol

I am using a wired 360 controller and I have no issue after the patch

There is definitely something going on with the controller support since the last patch. For me certain buttons just stop working sometimes and there was a time where I simply couldn't run because the analog stick lost its sensitivity or something. Getting to the menu and resuming usually fixes this but it was weird to see all these issues during a 3 hour session.

Bugs are a thing, sadly.
My issue was actually with my controller and third-party software, just coincided with the update. Took some time to figure out. Thanks everyone and sorry for the false alarm.
My controller isn't working at all. It's just the Microsoft Xbox 360 standard black controller but this is the only game I've ever had an issue with (out of over 300 games).

I hope they fix the controller support soon, this is a game that would benefit so much from good controller support!

I use XBox1 controller and it works fine.
I think the 360 should definitly work too.
Try to plug it in before or after opening the game and see if any change occurs.
K thanks.

Just one more thing, try this:

1. Hit "Ctrl+R" in Windows
2. Enter "joy.cpl"
3. Select your controller
4. Hit "properties"
5. Test your controller out.

You can re-calibrate it there just in case.
Oh, and in case you're like me - ensure you don't have any third-party controller/mapping app running somewhere in the background
