Over the past several weeks, I have delayed the release of this game in order to make sure I have the most controller support I can, and I should explain some of the new options for control in Land War:
- By default, all controllers connected to the PC will be able to join the war. Bluetooth, Steam Controls, xBox, Nintendo, Playstation, and even unrecognized generic gamepads are usable and will be labeled on the player select screen.
- Players join in order rather than in their controller's slot, to avoid issues like the 10th controller plugged into the computer not responding.
- There is a new "use xInput" setting available on the settings screen. Turn this one in order to use Steam Controllers or to remap your controls with Steam Input. By default this is currently off.
- There is a new setting to toggle between direct input and raw input, two APIs that have different levels of support for different controllers. The default is raw input, but you should try switching this in case your particular controller is having trouble.
Steam is currently reviewing the latest build, and I will set a final release date when it passes!
Thanks all,
Brian
