I’m trying to configure the gyro to help me aim. I’ve tried every configuration I can think of, or find online. I’m slamming head into a wall.
From what I can tell, the game now only accepts “steam controller” input. Which means the right joystick isn’t actually a joystick, it’s a weird virtual joystick, and there’s some conversion going on. So when the old methods for getting gyro input are used, ie “as joystick” or “as mouse”, the input is completely ignored by the game.
I’ve tried configuring a fresh controller configuration based on a standard controller, but then the game things I’m trying to use a keyboard and mouse and ignores all controller input.
Now, if I set gyro to “right stick (steam controller logo)”, then suddenly the gyro starts affecting the right stick. But instead of being a relative input, as in when I pull the left trigger to aim, use the current gyro position as zero, and all relative movement should be applied to the stick. Instead it is an absolute value, with the movement being relative to the calibrated location of gravity down. So when I pull the left trigger, I immediately stare into the sky.
I think the solution to this is the “auto world tilt” option, but that is only available in the “gyro to joystick” configuration, which of course doesn’t work.
Am I missing something completely obvious here? Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I miss gyro aim.
Thanks
Dev wouldn’t nuke your custom profile on purpose. There’s good reasons to implement a Steam Input API in their game, most notably because they can do certain things like automatic overlay switching, which further improves the experience for most people. Losing an older profile is sometimes an unintended side effect, and there’s nothing they can do about it.
I meant on purpose as in to remove gyro aim for some reason. Though I don’t think so, apparently forbidden west has native gyro support.
It’s ok if my old profile is invalid, but why is it now not possible to set up gyro again?
I think you mentioned that you were mapping gyro as right stick? Is there a reason you don’t use it as a mouse instead? The Steam version I think supports dual input, no?
I can give it a try at home, but I suspect there’s something else going on. When you use gyro, are you using it when you touch the right stick? Are you using it when you touch the right pad? How is it being activated?
I’ve tried it as mouse, I’ve tried it with left trigger activateb and touch right stick activate and always active
