Some weapon rune attacks are not available on Xbox controller

Wicked Bug Reporting
1

I have noticed that some weapons do not have their rune attacks usable on the controller (this might be an Xbox controller binding issue), but are usable on the mouse and keyboard.

An early game example is the Blood-rusted sword. Its rune attack, spin is not usable on the controller

The rune attack icon does not appear in the UI menu and is unusable on the controller. When trying to use the rune attack where it should be (LT + x) it just results in a charge attack. When switching back to mouse and keyboard in game, the UI switches, the rune icon returns, and the rune attack is usable again.

Does anyone else have this issue with any other weapons? I have only tested some strength weapons, but I am currently making a dex character to check those weapons later.

Some other weapons I found with this issue on Xbox controller are:

Governer’s Sword
Rusty Kopesh
Nail Laden Club

I have exactly the same issue with the X-Box Controller and my Buddy with his Steam Deck. Im a little baffled that no one else reported this problem tbh :thinking:

edit: this only happens with a legendary one Handed Weapon. No issues with purple 2 handers so far

using Nintendo switch USB controller but it reads as XBOX in game so not sure if that matters, this bug is back specifically for those assigned to the X or left rune slot. I can’t cast a fireball on my controller but I can press 1 on my keyboard to cast just fine. this applies to all weapons I’ve tried. The Y/top/2 rune slot works normally and I haven’t gotten far enough in my play-through to have a 3rd rune. Dropbox

that seems so strange. have you guys tried different controller settings in steam/steam big picture?

my PS4 controller works just fine, and i calibrated it in steam.

i remember from other games tho, that the controller did not work properly, until i went through all the controller settings.

found out my controller broke in a weirdly specific way. new controller doesn’t have the issue.

The screenshot seems to be holding down LB and holding up the shield. I guess its way too late for this comment to be of any use.
