Einlanzer v. 1.200 - Full Controller Support!

Full Controller Support!

Since the release of Einlanzer, many users have complained that their PC gamepads, Xbox 360 controllers, etc. did not work. This is now fixed!

When you launch Einlanzer, you will now have two options: Keyboard/Steam Controller optimization or PC Gamepad optimization.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
If you prefer using the keyboard or Steam controller, you can ignore this....

If you have already started playing Einlanzer and want to now use the new PC gamepad version, you must copy your save game files and paste them in a new directory. How to do this is described below. Once this is done, your save files are exclusive to the two versions of the game.

Already started Einlanzer and you want to swap to the PC gamepad version? Follow these steps:

  • Go to your Steam directory. It is usually C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam Or... C:/Program Files/Steam
  • Navigate through the Steam directory. Follow this path: ..Steam/steamapps/common/Einlanzer/Savegames
  • Now copy all of your save games (select them all and press ctrl+c)
  • Now navigate to a new file by following this path: ..Einlanzer/PCGamepad/Einlanzer/Savegames/
  • Now paste (ctrl+v) and you are done!
  • Boot up Einlanzer, select the PC Gamepad version, and your save game files will be there ready to go. Steam cloud saves will act like normal, but again, the PC gamepad and the Keyboard/Steam Controller versions are like seperate games. The save files will not transfer between the two versions. In other words, once your save game files are in the right place, keep playing the same version or you'll have to copy and paste back and forth.

I know this is not a PERFECT fix, but as long as you follow the above steps and don't swap between versions, it'll work just fine.

Update Details

  • Added new launch option to play Einlanzer with PC gamepad optimization
  • Exclusive for PC Gamepad version: Created new controller guide images at the start of a new game to correspond with PC gamepads, Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 controllers
