Windows Joystick mode still not working since 1.6.12.

When is this going to get fixed? I know this is a known issue but it has been over six months now and still no fix?

For the ones who dont know, the joystick mode stopped working for some of the GOG players since 1.6.12 came out. None of the updates that came after that has fixed the issue. I had to reverse back to 1.6.11 to be able to keep playing but i need now to be able to update so i can try to add some mods to it again. Why is this taking so long? I dont know what else to do?

And before someone suggests it: no, i dont use Steam, the mods are not the problem, and the issue cannot be fixed with a keyboard mapping software because the problem is the mode. Since the game does not go into gamepad mode it is always thinking that the player has access to a mouse so the L & R buttons dont work, you cannot sort or stack items and you cannot browse through menus without the mouse. You cannot assign the movement of a mouse through a screen to a button in a joystick to be able to play well. And I dont enjoy playing this game with the keyboard and the mouse.

The last update was back on Dec, it has been long enough. Does anyone know if someone is still working on this?

Hey there. Bumping your posts is okay, but after like a week or so has passed. The devs do watch the report section, but they can't reply to everything.

Thanks for replying. I'm "bumping" once a day for now, if it is not a problem. I'm just trying to keep the post visible to see if i can get a dev to see it. I'm sorry, it is just that at this point i don't know what else to do, it has been many months since the last update and i haven't been able to go back to the game yet :frown:

I understand, but once a day is too frequent. I do hope you can get help with your issue soon!

Hello I am playing the latest GOG build (linux) and I have the same issue. I am a relatively new player, and besides that previously I have only played with a controller so I am not sure if this was not a bug before or if the game has always behaved this way (I see different discussions on other forums that pop up every once in a while).

Anyway the point is really bothersome to use the touchpad when playing on a laptop, and it seems wrong that the game is still forcing me to do that even when in se setting both "gamepad mode" and "controller style menus" are on.

to make it clearer: I am able to navigate using the directional keys, but I am unable to select items. Likewise then in dialogues or when interacting with the TV i am forced to confirm with the mouse instead of using the "action key".

PS: i tested the game both vanilla and with SMAPI, even then i only have a simple time fix mod for multiplayer installed

Hey, thanks for taking your time to post. It has been a constant issue since the 1.6.12 update and im pretty sure they are aware of it, but for some reason it has received no fix. In my personal case i get no response from the joystick at all, not even the directionals even though the gamepad mode is forced on as well. I have also tested it with and without mods. It is definitely the game.
Lets hope this time someone sees it and they take it seriously. I really wanna get back into the game.

Anyone? No reply yet, I'm scared this is really going to stay like this until the next wave of patches probably in a couple of years. Please, please, someone let me me know if this is going to be fixed.
