Ok so I have been messing around on my Windows 10 Tablet and my Android Phone with my game.
These days you can stream on both using " Steam Link " which looks pretty cool but without the functionality of any real joystick / Xbox controller ( which I have had no luck with ) it feels like a wasted opportunity .. Now Steam has these streaming features that pretty much anyone can use via their Mobile or Tablet then perhaps its time to maybe look at this issue again and get something stable in.
Any thoughts ?

I personally haven't gotten a game near completion. When I do get close to finishing one,I was going to test my xbox controller with it. Since gg does support it? I thought anyway. Well if it doesn't work, I sure hope it can get fixed before my game get's released. Man, Synchro! Your game looks fantastic!

Thanks , I even tried steam link on my 7 year old Nexus 7 pad , Works great !!
We may not have android export but streaming is the next best thing and is only getting bigger Hence my way of thinking.

Very cool! I actually started taking advantage of Steams new streaming system in order to run Game Guru on a computer that cant even run dx11 nor has the ram for GG, yet it runs fine as it streams from my home computer.

I could take a look into that and see if the existing code in GG works. There should be an enabler for those controls in the setup.ini? I do know we have LUA commands for them.

Ok so I had a new USB Xbox controller arrive just now and I can get it 99% using these settings
[CONTROLLER]
xbox=1
xboxcontrollertype=2
xboxinvert=0
xboxmag=1

Main problem is as soon as you start the view goes up to the ceiling and you cannot rotate it back down so still playing here

POV Hat doesn't seem to detect so guessing that's why .. No idea on that .
Detects in Windows but not in GG.

I'm interested in this now as well, I have a genuine Xbox controller which works very well with many games I play but doesn't seem to do anything with GG.

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

Hi Amen
For a standalone you will have to add this to the startup ini
Not sure how many XBOX controller versions there are but mine only works with xboxcontrollertype=2
Im not using a genuine one and the hat doesn't respond .. I just rotate to looking up but everything else works ..
A genuine one apparently should work ok .. I think the choice is 0, 1, OR 2,

[CONTROLLER]
xbox=1
xboxcontrollertype=2
xboxinvert=0
xboxmag=1

You will be able to get so far by using and changing the way the existing lua commands in gameplayercontrol.lua operate (as per other post on this) but then it needs engine tweaks - I don’t think the Xbox controller code has been updated for a long time - either in engine or in lua as the controller didn’t operate like you would typically expect.

Cheers.

Amenmoses is going to take a look, he has an interest himself.
He told me he thinks he may be able to fix it so it all works properly
That will be awesome if he can.
