I have the steam version, but from what I can see the controller is still kinda bad, though my controller is also really old so maybe just me...
is the controller support still trash? I'd actually like to purchase it in steam but not gonna waste my time again if the dev pretends controller support is adequate
If you have the Steam version of the game and you can't get the game to register your controller, could you try this out?
1. Disable the "Steam Overlay while in-game" option in General tab(it doesn't even work anyway, as far as I'm aware).
2. Select the "Enable Steam Input" option in the Controller tab.
3. Go to controller layouts and select/customize your layout(I used the default Gamepad one but swapped the X and A buttons).
4. Launch the game via Steam.
And hopefully it'll work? I got this game in... December? and I couldn't get my PS4 controller to register no matter what the hell I tried, I turned off the Steam Overlay option on a whim and now the controller layouts work flawlessly plus I can use the whole controller instead of just the left stick/X/O buttons.
