Hello metal heads!
It seems we have run into a bit of a hiccup!
Steam has done an update which has changed the way Steam Input is handled, and thus broken gamepad support for some users in some games (not just Metal Heads).
After troubleshooting for about 5 hours straight, I found a work-around, however this is by no means a permanent solution. I have contacted Steam support in regards to the issue, and will be looking at releasing another update soon to keep Metal Heads up to date with the latest Steam SDK.
PROBLEM:
The game does not recognize any controllers, either wired or wireless. Even Xbox controllers don't work! :O
SOLUTION:
1. Open Settings in Steam
2. Go to "Controller"
3. Click on "General Controller Settings"
4. Untick "Xbox configuration support"
I have tested this with both an Xbox one controller, and PS4 Dual Shock 4 controller with everything unticked except "Generic Gamepad configuration support" and it is working now on 6 different PC's where it had stopped working.
Please let me know if this works, or if you are running into any problems.
On a side note, I am working extremely hard to get Online Multiplayer support functioning. All mini-games work online, but there is a LOT of underlying work that needs to be done in order for it all to run smoothly, the spawn system in particular with drop-in/drop-out support, is no easy thing to get working unfortunately.
But I am confident I will get it done, and I will even be doing private online testing soon.
While there is no specific release date for the online update, I am aiming to have it completed within the next 2-3 weeks.
Thank you for your support, thank you for your patience.
I apologize again for the inconvenience this may have caused some of you, I don't want to let any of you down, because you guys are the life-blood to the success of Metal Heads.
Rock on!
