Controller Issues

[fonnzyman]

Hey guys, so I'm trying to play this game with a PS4 controller, which used to work, but once the game has loaded the button mapping seems to be off as i try to press start but in thinks that I am wanting to quit. I know the controller is fine as I can use it with other games without having to remap it. Any suggestions?

look up xbox360ce. You'll probably need the 32 bit version. Turns your controller into an xbox 360 controller so the game can recognize it

Had this issue tonight with Xbox One and 360 controllers. Hadn't played in a long time. Fixed it by going to Steam-Settings-Controller-General Controller Settings and checking Xbox Extended Feature Support.

Just to add to what Supergrass posted (much thanks for this by the way) - after setting extended feature support I still wasn't getting the buttons all working properly until I right clicked on the game icon in my library, then went to manage - controller configuration - browse configs - select gamepad.

It then seemed to work for me. Glad it's done now as it's a fun party game, but it was really frustrating getting to this point.

EDIT - I'm using 2 x wired XBox 360 controllers.

If you want your controller to work, you don't need to install emulators like X360CE. You need three things to install which I am sending below: Visual C++ All in One, ViGEmBus Driver, Microsoft .NET 6.0 Desktop RunTime. Next, connect your controller via Bluetooth or a cable to your computer. Go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller and enable "Steam Input for XBOX Controllers", next "Steam Input for Standard Controllers" and the last one Playstation Controller Support "Enabled" not "enabled in games without support". Then install the "XBOX Enhanced Feature Support Driver" and restart your computer. Then launch "London 2012.exe". The controller will still not work, but the "Space War" game will appear in your Steam library. On Space War in Steam Library, right-click Properties -> Controller and in "Override for Space War" check "Enable Steam Input". Now right-click again on "Sapce War" -> Manage -> Controller Layout.

[XONE / XSX] Click with the mouse on Current Button Layout (Official Layout for SpacerWar), then using the controller go to the "Community Layouts" tab and select the "XBOX 360 Default" layout at the very top. Confirm -> press X. Exit the controller layout settings and start the game from "London 2012.exe" not Space War on Library.

[PS4 / PS5] Click with the mouse on Current Button Layout (Official Layout for SpacerWar), then using the controller go to the "Community Layouts" tab and select the "Dark Souls PS5" layout at the very top. Confirm -> press Square. Exit the controller layout settings and start the game from "London 2012.exe" not Space War on Library.

That's All! If after all this your controller doesn't work, restart your computer again. Now it has to!

PS: To play with a friend on split-screen, you must connect a second pad and also set the controller layout for it at the top in "Sapce War" -> Manage -> Controller Layout "Dark Souls PS5 or XBOX 360 Default".
