I can’t understand how any PC players are finding controller use playable at all, as it literally takes 7 seconds to rotate my camera view 180 degrees. Movement responsiveness if fine, but I can’t see what I’m doing because view rotation is so slow. Any suggestions? I’m using a wireless XBox 360 controller that works fine in every other Steam game that I want to use a controller with.
I’ve done two things since posting the original message. First, I uninstalled KCD through steam, and deleted all of the created files both in the install directory, and in the save games directory. Then reinstalled from scratch.
Then, to rule out a problem with my controller, I disconnected my XBox 36o controller and connected my Playstation Dualshock 4 and configured it to work with Steam. Then, restarted the game, and the controller performance was even worse than with the XBox controller.
I really want to play this game. I was one of the first kickstarter backers, and have been dreaming of the experience this game promises. But, I can’t play it at all right now. I used to have the opinion that all controllers are garbage, and the only proper way to play was with keyboard/mouse. I much prefer using a controller these days, though, but will have to try to go back to keyboard/mouse to play this until the controller issue gets fixed. Hopefully it will be soon!
I was able to resolve this with significant editing to the default Steam controller configuration that was provided with the game by the devs. Now, it’s playable, whew!
