Dualsense/ controller related
So has anyone run into this issue where all button prompts constantly switch between keyboard and controller? Would love to fix this ♥♥♥♥. Seems like a long running issue with this game which is pretty absurd i must say.

I am playing with my dualsense controller. It controls mostly fine but as stated swaps between keyboard and mouse prompts repeatedly.

I've been playing with keyboard for 99% of my playtime on the epic version, so let me plug in my controller and test it real quick to see if I have the same issue.

usually this only happens if it detects an input from your mouse or keyboard. perhaps turn them off or unplug them when you plug in your controller. could be you move your mouse a lil bit and don't even realize it.

Idk, i just tested mine and my controller was plug and play with no issues with button prompts. Are you using DS4windows software or are you just using the default controller settings through steam?

Sounds like you have something conflicting bewcause the only time my button prompts change is when I move the mouse or hit my desk lol.

If your using DS4windows or something like that try closing that, and also try turing off steam input nad using the games default controller detection. Like I said I have the game on epic and the controller support is working perfectly without any 3rd party software or even boot it through steam.

Dualsense (wireless) works for me only if I enable Steam input. can change the button promt layout to PS in the games option menu but with Steam input enabled there are shortcuts set to the touchpad and they are just wrong.

I guess the game works with the Dualsense wired over usb and without Steam Input enabled but I don't play games with a corded connection anymore. It's not the 90s.

I checked. It did not. Ive reported the issue to the devs though so hopefully i get a response.

Also i kinda need steam working for the controller as I'm using gyro

Yeah i was also using a dualsense on the epic version and since its does not have steam input what so ever, all you have to do to play wireless is download DS4windows and it works flawlessly.

Its not the 90s which is why PC gamers are able to curcumvent many of these issues with a little research and elbow grease. In this case you should disable steam input, activate DS4windows and play wireless fine.

Sounds like a steam input problem and not a game issue, as on epic I can play with controller wired or wireless flawlessly.

it's fine. I don't expect the actualy Developers to use that ellbow grease for a native Dualsense support just like many many other games do nowdays. the game is a dissapointment so far anyways. I expected so much more and the game is just mediocore at best. a native Dualsense support wont save it really.

So you had an entire YEAR to see if the game was for you, see what it did good and what id did not too good and you still come off disappointed? I would understand more if this was the actual release of the game, you had a year to research and see what the game offers and to temper your expectations accordingly:steamfacepalm:

No I had no issues using keyboard and mouse. If your having issues make sure you disconnect all other controllers to make sure they are not taking priority of the m/kb. At least thats all I can think of for the issue you are taking about.
