Xbox 360 Controller only half-functioning

Post by cwatkins »

When I first played around with the 360 controller it looked like it would work well with the game, however the game will not recognize the right thumbstick or the D pad when I attempt to assign functions to those controls.

Is this common? is there a fix?

Edit: I have the Steam version of Terran Conflict

I have run into this issue with a number games (Dreamfall, Mass Effect, etc.). Try out xpadder (free) and try having the right stick act like a mouse.

Same problem I had in X3:Reunion. I never found a fix. Give cabbagered suggestion a go and let us know how it all works out :)

I just started playing the game and own me a xbox controller as well.

Unsurprisingly my 2nd stick isn't working as well (and why should it when it doesn't for you in the beginning).

Just wonder though? Do you receive any kind of forcefeedback? Cause I haven't noticed any so far.

Gonna try the xpadder thingy to see if I can work something out.

Anyways, it makes me wonder why the XBox Controller isn't supoorted directly by now.

Many people have that controller just due to the fact that they own a XBox as well. And it seems a lot of games recently recognise that fact like Fallout 3, Tomb Raider stuff .. and come with full fetched support and sorta decent default-config for it.

Hope proper support can make it into the patch eventually.

I have the same problem. Tried the updated drivers but they made no difference.

Well,

I toyed around with xpadder a bit and I think overtime i could have gotten a setup that suits me.

Anyway, I noticed that the control over mouse is pretty good.

Even if I found a perfect controller setup for myself I doubt it would be better than the native mouse control (spare the feeling about not playing a flightsim with controller/joystick).

So, personally I rest my case here. Cause I am fine, even more than that .. I am perfectly happy playing the game with my mouse.

Kudos, excellent Job on the mouse steering.
