I've found a lot of games don't have that (or a good one, at least).

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Played it for an hour or so, probably won't get back to it until finals are over, but let me bitch for a second. You can bind actions to shift-click and double-click. But I find that really clunky so I managed to wrestle it to approximate the mapping of DaS1. Then I discovered that if you spam attacks too fast (admittedly a bad idea) it registers it as a double-click and does nothing. Same for attempting to attack with a shield up (ie holding shift.) On top of that, all the controls are still listed in Xbox prompts. It runs fine, but I'm still a little disappointed.

Same here. It's also decided to do the Payday 2 style download. Download 50 MB. Stop. Download 20MB. Stop. This could take a while.

I'm having issues with HDMI, apparantly. Unplugging my HDMI, blind-clicking play, plugging it back in works but... it doesn't detect my 360 controller or have an option for 1980x1080.

How do I get it to actually recognize the buttons from my 360 pad? It's showing the prompts but the buttons aren't doing anything.

To get the DS4 to work set it to be hidden and restart the game. Same thing happened to me.

Also I'm using this tool with no files in the DS2 directory.

Having the mouse pop up in the center of the screen every time a menu or message comes up is a pretty drat goofy thing to not fix/leave in the game.

Yes they both do something and you can find more in the game.

I'm using the same tool and it's working. It was a pain getting it to the point of functioning though.

I'm getting this too.

Also, on my random PS2 controller, I can't fix the settings because it ignores X360ce and just gives me a setup where the right stick is attacking.

Got killed by lemur ghouls on the very first screen :shepface:

I need to start up DS actually and look at my old keybinds to get used to this again. I can't believe the default control scheme still sucks but also it still uses the 360 buttons rather than pc keys. Come the gently caress on.

The game refuses to run in fullscreen for me, not even alt+enter works. It can run in windowed 1080p, so I don't get it's deal. The Information menu option also flickers text on top of red text.

Restarting fixed the fullscreen issue, so whatever!
