A new release is out that should hopefully make it possible for everyone to enjoy their favorite game pad with The Elementalist! The Elementalist has been updated to include Steam Input support in addition to the raw XInput that it already worked with. This should mean that if your gamepad works with Steam Big Picture it should work with The Elemenatlist! If your gamepad was already working it should continue to work the same way but if you want to switch to using Steam Input that's cool too! Steam Input shouldn't cause screen flicker with high rates of controller re-scan (so if you disconnect it can pause the game when it detects that) and has a pretty nifty controller binding UI, plus it should support some controllers that don't support XInput. Just be sure that you have your controller plugged in before you launch the game or it doesn't seem to like to pass through the inputs when you eventually do. The raw XInput support remains unchanged and supports pretty much any XInput device (or combination of devices) imaginable so if you are happy with your setup you certainly don't need to change it up. I also tried to add helpful prompts to clarify when the game is detecting your controller as a Steam Input device or XInput device as well as some options to fix it up. As always if you have any troubles please let me know in the Steam Discussions! I published a default XBox controller profile and will try to round out some official controller profiles for other devices as I can, let me know if your favorite pad needs love. :-)
