myxal Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Cheers, I decided to pick up MotN after nostalgia-replaying the old Oddworld games and feeling my platformer-stealth itch insufficiently scratched. Can anyone recommend/report a working combo of: controller brand/standard/mode (Xinput, D-Input, Switch Pro, Dualshock?) controller connection (USB/bluetooth) steam input enabled/disabled for MotN? steamoverlay enabled/disabled for MotN? version of MotN (orig./remaster) I currently only have the old version MotN, so I'm having to play that on Mojave. Reports of success with the remastered would be particularly welcome. I have 8BitDo's Pro 2 which in theory, should be able to emulate all the modes/connections mentioned, but from my testing, only bluetooth xinput sort-of works (the BT connection drops and MotN is unable to pick it back up without a relaunch). The other modes/connections don't work at all (with SteamInput disabled), or are horribly broken (B/Y keys firing a D-pad key in addition to their own key, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxal Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Well, after messing around with the old MotN for a week, here are my observations: no USB-connected controller works well MotN Pro 2 over Bluetooth works well in S, A, and X modes, with steam input+overlay enabled. When it doesn't work (duplicated/mis-mapped input, dropped connections), it seems to be an issue outside of the game's code (BT HCI driver, HID driver/stack, steam input..) and the issue seems to go away after cycling steam input off and on again, or just relaunching Steam.
