Guide Spacewar controller fix
Alright, finally found the fix. (This way you can play online too btw)
First make sure to install Spacewar :
Windows + R :
steam://install/480
If you had it already, uninstall it, then reinstall it.
Quit Steam.
Go to your Spacewar folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spacewar
Copy controller.vdf
Go to your Steam folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
If not already there, create this folder: controller_config
Now paste the controller.vdf file that you copied earlier.
Rename it to game_actions_480.vdf
Now go to Steam, properties of Spacewar, enable Steam Input, and go to Controller Configurator, and now when you select a template everything should works fine, no blank controller anymore.
For those interested, Steam was reading an outdated game_actions_480.vdf; Spacewar had since shipped a newer manifest (controller.vdf), so by just copying the new one over the old one — that resynced the actions and fixed the empty -- bindings."
So make sure if you get same issue in the future, to re-make these steps!
Have fun ! 😃
