This is basically a repost. Game is basically unplayable with Steam controller unless I remove most controller binds, like Lstick. DE staff, check my play time. Less than an hour in the past like month and a half. I'm an adult, I don't have the time to fully fix my binds that work in basically any other game. Longest game breaking update to go with correction that I have seen in what, seven years?
The fix? Re-impliment X-input and enable to receive input at the same time as M&KB.
"According to Steam I'm just shy of 5000 hours in game, so I should know a thing or two.
Bought the Steam controller on launch, and made wicked spicy mouse, and keyboard controls that used some controller inputs. You couldn't understand how spicy they were... Then you released an update that forced us to use Steam Big Picture mode to keep hybrid controls. Then a year later you released "support" for hybrid M&KB+Controller inputs, which actually permanently broke hybrid a little. If you are careful you can dodge a few of the issues that permastick you, but you couldn't use big picture anymore, again.
Now? Guys, you have servers to test this stuff. I don't know what the stats are, but you borked it for tons of people. My custom mappings between myself, and three of my friends have over 9000 hours of play time, and it's broken for all four of us. Big picture mode breaks the keyboard inputs, and standard mode breaks all controller inputs.
Stuff like the layering for holding right bumper for skill selection with ABXY I could use Auto Hot Key and Steam rebinds to create my own layers again, but if you knew how many hours it would take to get everything feeling serviceable, I'd honestly rather quit the game, and maybe revisit it in the future. Like we use RPad as mouse with smoothing, and gyro always on with mouse look as well, but with no smoothing for simultaneous 180 degree flicks and precision aim, but Lstick is controller Lstick rather than Stick emulated WASD. LBumper is slide/crouch, but on controller you semi hold for a speed boost while sprinting that doesn't exist on keyboard, so I of course bound manual KB crouch and controller crouch to LB with a firestart delay to LB. If this sounds confusing, it's because it is, but FEELS SO GOOD IN PRACTICE. WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THIS AWAY?
5000 hours in game, and all I'm asking is to use the controller inputs I have been using for basically all 5000 hours.
Fix what you did DE, don't do us so DErty."
