Apologies, did you see this line in the patch notes? “Map: Added a ping and location marker to show the area the player is in.”

[Kuma.exe]

i don´t realy like the camera settings and that it dosn´t zoom out when it's ment to

[lostsoul734]

not what I asked

[lostsoul734]

How do u get on to the area where the conversation is. I cant jump on to it

[Nikanuur]

Thanks for the recent patch. I've returned to play the game after some time only to find out my perfectly working Xbox controller has got Y stick pressed on all the time even though I don't do anything. What's more. This continues to Windows and Steam when I quit the game, things being pressed on randomly. And yes, this doesn't happen with any other game, I've just played several games before that.

And what's the cherry on the top. Just because I am being killed by mobs, I alt+f4 from the game, because I can't press any direction, mouse and keyboard doesn't work, can't navigate the menus.

30 hrs of gameplay are completely gone, because of how the saves are done in this game. Because of the patch or what. Because of how this is programmed.

Wow.

Just frikkin wow.

Sorry to hear the patch is giving you grief. Maybe try the following:
1) Go into Steam's Big Picture Mode (icon in the top right corner of the Steam client) and go to Settings > Controller Settings and make sure "Xbox Configuration Support" is ticked.
2) Right-click Darksiders Genesis in your Steam library and select Properties > Controller and make sure that "Use default settings" is selected, with a blue dot in front of "Xbox Controller".
3) Also in the Darksiders Genesis Steam settings, go to Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files and let that run to make sure nothing got corrupted when installing the patch.

See if that fixes your issues.

I got really angry, but seeing how anger seldomly solves anything I tried to solve it with my head clearer. It took me a while, but it turns out that (after the latest patch very likely?) the controller's dead zone in the game menu was all the way up. I usually don't touch deadzones anywhere, so it didn't occur to me. At first I thought it's a no deadzone so I fiddled only a bit, after a while I realized it's actually the full dead zone. And that's why the sticks responded so poorly. Sliding the bar to only 1/4 did the job, the sticks seem to respond normally again. Also, the saves are back with the reinstall of the game. Idk how is that possible, they were gone for at least several times after the alt+f4.

Thanks for geting over my outburst and trying to help. The game in generall is actually pretty nice, a good deed.

Are you ever going to fix the blurry graphics issue for co-op on console platforms?
EDIT: Never mind, I got issued a refund.
