Was this patch just pushed I'm having a hell of a time getting switch pro controller/PS4 to work on steam. Movement is inverted and all keybinds are reworked.

Just bought the game v1.0.7 on Steam and I am having the following issues:
- Using a French Keyboard I cannot rebind the cancel key to A (it "cancels" when I press it so it does not save my rebinding action).
- Sometimes the spacebar has no effect (I can't jump), I have to quit to the main menu, then reload my exploration and it then works.
- I tried using my X-Box 1 controller, plugged in via USB, in Big Picture mode: the left joystick is inverted (move down to go forward), the right and left triggers are not correctly recognized for flight (pressing fully on the left trigger only sets 2 bars of thrust upward, then by default 2 bars of thrust downwards are set continuously without touching the controller).
- In the rebinding menu, when trying to assign the right or left triggers, the trigger icon disappears, probably indicating that no command is recognized.

With these issues, the game is for the moment unplayable for me.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Steam has automatically updated the game yesterday and it solved the problem with rebinding the "Cancel" key. The spacebar seems to be effective for jumping consistantly so far. I can then now play the game with mouse and keyboard, thank you very much for the patch!

Unfortunately, the left and rigth triggers of my XBox controller are still not recognized by the game, with the same issues as described above. I hope this will be resolved at some point in the future.

Thank you in advance for you help on these problems.

Steam PC version, I'm still having this problem myself. Just installed the game and plugged in my controller when it said it was recommended. All the controls in the menu seemed to be in reverse though. Restarted, unplugged, replugged controller same thing. Tried with mouse and keyboar and had the jump problem. Restarted and same issue. I finally unplgged my conrtoller and I can play with kb and mouse now at least.

I have been waiting to play this game natively under Linux - just wondering now that you have launched on steam when we can expect the Linux native version?

I am looking forward to a reply outlining any timelines you might have!

Hi
Since this patch I cannot play the game with an xbox usb controller anymore, whenever I launch the game with the controller plugged in, the main menu screen appear without any items in it, so I'm stuck watching a slowly rotating campfire without being able to do anything else.
If I launch the game without plugging the controller then I can play using keyboard and mouse, but as soon as I plug the controller in no input functions anymore, be it controller, mouse or keyboard, even after I plug out the controller.
Could you please help? I was really looking forward to finishing this amazing game.
Cheers

Hi
Game is still not working with an USB xbox controller since this patch was released, can you help please?

This happens to me too, but I do not use a XBox controller. I just use a mouse and keyboard, and the game also doesn't get past the start animation with the rotation campfire. No options or menu whatsoever. It would be great if this gets looked at, because right now I am unable to play the game.

I have been having controller issues as well. Vertical movement is now inverted on both the right and the left stick. Rebooting my PC sometimes works but it seems random. Changing the controller layout from Xbox to PS4 fixes the inversion issue but messes up the rest of the controls (i am using a 360 controller) so that's no use. Hoping for a fix soon because i am really enjoying the game and it feels a lot better with a controller than M&K.

Any word on this?
I bought the game through Epic just now (don't yell at me, there was a discount).
Installed it, game suggests using a gamepad, so I grab mine (360 usb).
Start the game: left joystick is reversed (need to pull it back to walk forwards). Could just play MKB, but I feel like gamepad would be a better experience.

I found some 'fix' for steam users: https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/comments/hcfwzs/psa_controller_issues_steam_fix/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.

That won't help me as I am launching from Epic.

My Xbox 360 controller Vertical Axis movements are inverted (during foot phases) and I can't rebind it.
Also when roasting marshmallow I can't leave the animation with "q", the button seems to be working fine and is correctly configured in the options.
Please fix inputs.

I'm having the same problem (here, 3 months later?). I want to give this game a chance, but fiddling around with broken controls is not how gaming is meant to work in 2020...

I’m playing on Xbox One and every time I press the home button, the game will pause (which is normal), but the character model will be laying on the ground. When I resume the game, the character model then does the animation to stand up like it does when you wake up after every loop. It doesn’t do this if I pause before pressing the home button. It’s very strange, but not game breaking.

It's been more than a day and fix is NOT available on Epic Games store, which shows build 1.0.7.461

Just bought this and I'm loving it so far, but my XBox 360 controller seems to randomly stop fully working, usually after pausing. Sometimes only certain buttons don't work, seems to usually be anything other than triggers and sticks. Can't even unpause without using the keyboard. Great game either way, hope this helps you fix it somehow!

Just got the hotfix on Epic. The controller axis are now wrongly assigned for the Dualshock 4 controller. Look vertical is on the right trigger and look rotate is on the left stick up/down. Walking back/forwards is impossible. Xbox 1 controller works though. Also, minor thing, but I just noticed the "launch codes" UI element is visible on the options menu.

6/23/2020 10:56:10 pm

Just want to add that the controller works fine plugged in via usb. It's just in bluetooth mode it has the issue.

6/24/2020 07:13:27 am

While I'm at it, got a couple of other super minor issues I noticed. Going to post them here since there doesn't seem to be an official bug reporting thread.
- The Playstation "circle" button prompt texture is effected by the texture quality setting (i.e. it is down-scaled according to the texture quality setting unlike all the other prompts).
- The button prompt for advancing conversations is the Playstation "square" button even if you have set Xbox in the options.

I have found 2 bugs so far and found a quick fix.

1. Inverted left analog stick. Sometimes the game flips your left analog stick. (I'm using an Xbox controller).

To fix it go to input and in controller change to ps4 (after doing it the joystick may feel normal again. Then change back to Xbox and save. Exit the game and the restart it. The joystick was fixed for me by so my this Everytime.

2. Just happened once but character was walking super slowly. I just restarted the game.

Playing on a base PS4 (version 1.0.7). There now appears to be a significant performance/FPS drop when looking towards the black hole on Brittle Hollow. Making precise movements can become difficult. Was not an issue I noticed prior to the update. Hope you are able to replicate. Thanks :)

So close to the end and I am unable to select "Resume Expedition" in menu to continue my game on Xbox One. The screen freezes when i select "resume expedition". Did a factory reset and uninstall reinstalled the game. 30 hours of game play and I am unable to continue. Can anyone help? I was SOOO close!

Current Steam version keeps giving me input lag. Starts fine but at some random point during a loop, input delay jumps to ~1 second. Doesn't go back to normal unless I reboot the game and disconnect/reconnect controller. Only happens with OW. Using an XB1 Elite 2 wirelessly.

I just purchased the game and tried to play it with my steam controller after getting the prompt on screen. I am getting the same issue with the inverted sticks and also triggers only supplying 2 bars of up or down thrust. Even when i switch to keyboard I still only get two bars of thrust maximum in either direction.

My problem was 'solved' be unplugging all other input devices I had connected to my PC (another gamepad and a HOTAS).

The game has issues with controlers on PC. I just by the game and can't play it cause I am unable to jump and so I am stuck at the first stage. The bug has been reported in Jun 2020 by 100 people and isn't still fixed. We are in January 2021, could you at least response to us. It's seems a grate game, how disapointing it is to see that it's fully bug in the firsts seconds :(

I have this game on Epic, and I am also struggling with control glitches which the players on Steam are complaining.
Input inverted, jump button is not functioning .,etc. I have the newest Xbox controller (which came out with Xbox series X), but the problem persist even with mouse and keyboard. I'd really love to play this game so I am looking forward the fix will come ASAP.

FFS just add an "Invert Left Axis" as a hotfix already. This game is amazing, please let us play it instead of having to fiddle with controllers for several hours...
