#Thief gold controller support how to#

Figuring out how to map all the controls is the next step once I get the controller working. I think I'll probably set the left track pad as a d-pad and use it to cycle through inventory items, though that's just a provisional idea, I haven't really planned that far ahead. I'll take any help or ideas anyone has to offer at this point. Maybe that is a way to solve this and I just haven't been able to figure out the correct settings, I dunno. x360ce doesn't even see the SC at all either.

I also tried using x360ce to map the SC input onto a virtual X360 controller that the game could detect, but that hasn't worked either. A 3rd person melee hack and slash like Dark Souls, sure, that's fine with a standard controller, but anything where you have to aim with a crosshair has become unplayable with that for me ever since I got my SC. I just can't go back to aiming with an analog stick. A standard X360 controller works just fine with it, but that doesn't have the track pad and gyro mouse emulation. Thief does have Xinput support, at least the GoG version does. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I found this Steam Community thread that recommends using TFix: I tried that and it made no difference at all. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that the Steam Controller isn't actually detected as a controller by Windows, instead the system thinks it's a keyboard and mouse, and it doesn't show up in the Game Controllers control panel. The buttons I could deal with by rebinding them to keys, but the analog stick is the whole point of why I want to play the game with a controller, since managing your movement speed (= noise) is such an integral part of its gameplay, and an analog stick is a much more elegant and intuitive way of doing that than pushing different combinations of buttons. But the analog stick and buttons that are set to controller buttons do nothing. If I bind the track pads and buttons as mouse and keyboard keys, it works. The game just won't take controller input from it. I'm having trouble playing Thief Gold with the Steam Controller.
