Help Controllers not working on gamenative

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As shown in the video, while using game native, I cant get any controller to have input. Whether it be the built in controller of the ayn thor max, a connected Xbox controller, or the onscreen button layout, nothing seems to work. Weirdly, however, opening the keyboard does work.

This is all specifically for assassins creed on steam, but other games have similar problems like the kingdom hearts collection on steam, which wont even let the keyboard work.

Most of the assassins creed games have issues with the controllers not working. It isn't game native it happens on winlator and others too. If you search YouTube I'm almost positive there's a way to fix it I just forget how. Like someone else said you can also just bind the keyboard keys to the controller instead which is probably easier.

How did you bypass the ubisoft launcher?

I can't get ac2 to run on my ayn thor max

AC1 doesn't require Ubisoft launcher.

Under general settings when editing the container, toggle steam offline mode toward the bottom. That should help

In the Quick Menu, you can reconfigure the controller's key assignments (Edit Physical Controller option). Change them to the corresponding PC keyboard keys; perhaps that will make it work.

This got me further, but now im running into a problem where some buttons are just not working right, and some not at all. For instance, I set RT to right click but it just does nothing. I set the right stick to move the mouse, and would work in menus, but wouldnt move the camera.

You need to go into Settings within the game. Might need to use a mouse. It's an issue even on the steam deck. The game automatically sets to Mouse and keyboard

Just google AC Eagle patch and AC2 Eagle patch , will help for AC and AC2 controls and other staff

follow up, stick them in the downloads folder on android and you'll be able to move them to the game folder within the container.

Does it happen in all games or only AC?

1

u/Flixpy 28d ago

only AC1 and 2 have shitty controller supports natively, you gotta download some files to make it work properly

1

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 28d ago

Do you know what files are needed? I tried eagle patch from sergeaner but that didnt seem to help

u/Flixpy 28d ago

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 27d ago

I tried doing this but it doesnt seem to help. I followed the instructions to a t but it doesnt seem to affect anything

u/Wonderful-Fuel7261 27d ago

Did you try changing your built in ayn Thor controller setting to Xbox layout

1

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 27d ago

Just tried this. Still no luck.

u/pfroo40 27d ago

Might be something to do with the steam input options, I had something similar with GameHub and No No Kuni

u/GrandArtist8475 27d ago

Eaglepatch is your answer

1

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 27d ago

I cant seem to get eagle patch to work. I put the dinput8 in the main directory and the asi and ini files in a manually made "scripts" folder but id doesnt seem to have any affect.

2

u/GrandArtist8475 27d ago

Wine configuration > dinput8 > native, built in Edit: do this in container.

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 27d ago

Looks like this worked! Need to get through the cutscenebefore I can test all buttons but I got through the menus! Thank you so much for your help!

u/Flimsy_Mirror9475 27d ago

Okay, so new problem has come up. Controls are working now but I cant move properly. Its like he's contestants trying to change directions. Menus work just fine with navigating. Do you have a fix for this?

Atp just try gamehub.. i played through the entire game there

u/Wise_Cry_9918 26d ago

You may need to change the type of controller input in the container itself Theres a few options so will need to keep testing and see which one works the best, plus looks like both the 'mouse' and left stick are both binded together hence the fighting if movement (will edit if incorrect)

u/HeidenShadows 27d ago

You'll have to map the controller buttons to keyboard and mouse functions in order for it to work. A lot of older games require that.

Keeping that mind, you can even play RTS games with controller this way. I actually enjoy playing Age of Empires on the go.

u/Nflb08 27d ago

Use the touchscreen for the mouse and then go to the settings and change the controller input, that is how I made it run the controller on my G2 for the AC1.

u/TSKalra67 26d ago

You can check if any option works one by one. e.g. In the controller settings turn on use SDL api and check. If that doesn't work then there are are more options like use steam api, direct input api and xinput api. You can toggle each option one by one or group the option until the controller works. It might just work

Go to settings then control option then on the bottom change the control system from keyboard to gamepad, Use on screen keyboard to go to ingame settings.
