[Implemented] support Playstation controller UI

FYI - The only displaying Xbox controls is in the known issues and I believe that they will implement Playstation mapping by release. Not sure if it will happen sooner.

In general most PC games only show Xbox buttons, this is normal as they are both Microsoft devices - however a few select games that are on PlayStation will show those buttons, but I mean, it’s only a few…

Far too many developers these days ignore the fact that there are more controllers out there than the X-box. In fact not supporting the most common and most sold HW is beyond me. It’s also a Steam issue. However the developers can simply just add an option to use either layout. And thus please a larger crowd of fans. Both X-box AND PlayStation buttons layout should be a standard.

It’s time this ā€œX-box-button-mapping-onlyā€ trend goes to bed, dies and gets buried for good. Simply have both layouts and let people choose

Yeah Same here My old Xbox controller for pc is dead and now im playing with my ps4 controller and it is super anoying that you cant change the controller button prompts layout.

Please Implement the right icons for the Playstation controller user.

I’m playing on my dualsense PS5 controller. Works with no issues.
However, the option ā€œsteam input supportā€ inside steam has to be turned on for it to work - meaning there is no integral support for the dualsense controller inside the game itself, so steam covers that and converts your controller inputs to the native xbox controller setup/system, meaning that the ui icons while inside the game show up as if you’re using an xbox controller.

I’m interested in seeing if they’ll properly utilize some of the DualSense 5’s unique features. The haptic feedback, sound effects, and ability to scroll menus such as maps with the touch pad will be welcomed additions, in my mind.

More than anything, however, I hope they bother to include proper PS5 icons for PC users utilizing a DualSense 5 controller. Nothing screams lazy like developers who don’t account for this.

Thank you! Yeah the known issues is where I copy pasted the body of the problem in my post.

Do you have any idea on why you think that it’s planned for release? I’d love to see some evidence for that.

@Pepehands Dude. Agreed. I’ll bring the shovel.

It blows my MIND that this kind of thing is ignored on the UIUX team or person, even for the indie dev space…

The controller scheme is currently setup for Xbox only but you can use PlayStation controllers which makes it difficult when X - square and A - X…. How about auto recognizing the controller and changing the setup to the controller that you are using.

I really enjoy playing it with my DualSense. But I would love full support with the DualSense symbols.

Seconding this. Being able to have screen prompts that match my controller is very basic quality of life that I’d like to see.

Same here. Steam says you can play with daulsense, then put in de buttonmapping plz.

I agree with the others.

It is mostly problematic in the beginning when learning the controlls.
Later in the game it just doesn’t feel right when it says Pressy Y when getting close to soemthing =(

EDIT: I have had problems with this later in game to now. Accidently deleting daily missions when I was trying to finish them =(

Hey guys i am playing for about 7 hours with keyboard but i want to play with controller now can i do it or do i have to restart?

Hello,
I have the same issue with all my Steam’s controllers (playstation based), I have only PS layout controllers but as the current stage of early access I will say to have a little bit patience, for sure playstation layout for controllers will be added.

I’m going to push back a little bit on the idea that learning the Xbox buttons is a major imposition on your time and energies:

X is run/dodge. Square is attack. Triangle is ā€˜use.’ That’s it- every single time. You got this.

ā€˜O’ is only occasionally used for runic attacks, mapped conveniently onto a diamond with a striking resemblance to the four face button positions.

Look, I’m a Playstation guy too, and sure, I prefer when the PS face buttons are mapped. Very frequently however, Xbox is what you get by default on PC games. It’s not at all surprising that you can’t show PSX 5 days into EA, and I assure you that it will be muscle memory in no time.

This is simply not true. In fact, most new games ships with DirectInput native support. This is why you will find so many posts about the lack of supprt on these forums - people are surprised it’s not there. Playstation has dominated the console market - it’s the controller most people have.

Cry about there being no PS buttons on PC, a microsoft machine more.

Well yeah… the game literally asks you to pick up a controller when you start the game, listing DS-controllers as options, which is what this thread is about. No need to be toxic or childish if you can’t be constructive.
