RoughCactus69 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 The way the cursor snaps about the inventory just feels wrong. At the very least please add the option to have the cursor in free move again for people used to the old version. The worst offendor though is having to hold "Triangle" or "Y" to THEN use the D-Pad. It worked just fine how it previously was. There was no need to add that. There are no buttons it takes up if you revert it back. It feels clunky and wrong. Bottom line. Video showing the new "controls". It just doesn't work. Sincerely, Cactus 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homie_tatanka Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I use a controller (stop laughing lol) and the 1.0 controller settings are horrible. I used to be able to use my controller like a mouse when in my inventory. That allowed for quick grabs of items (think first aid on horde night). Now though, you have to cycle through all your inventory slots to get to the items. It soooooooo slow! Also, when I select an item in my inventory, for some stupid reason, I now have to hold down y (triangle on ds4) to see the options menu for doing things like scrapping an item or modifying an item. It has added a click when its not necessary. Super annoying! Please please please change this the settings for controller back.

Immhotep Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Definitely agree. It needs to be sorted by the 25th or I ain't paying for ps5 version. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homie_tatanka Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 If I have a full inventory and need to move it to all separate boxes it is going to take forever cause you have to move each piece a square at a time. 13 minutes ago, Immhotep said: Definitely agree. It needs to be sorted by the 25th or I ain't paying for ps5 version. Just took me 21 clicks on my controller to move a item from my backpack to my hotbar and the item that was in my hotbar to that open space in my backpack. that used to take 3 clicks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse & keyb here, (also A21 info), but once I realized that the "equip" button will actually do a swap between the item and your equipped item, that's what I've used. Might help you save a few clicks if it's still like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have completely redone the controller settings and it’s not user friendly whatsoever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye, no, won't help your box sorting one iota; but sorry for trying to offer whatever little help I could. I won't do it again, until next time, I swear!

Ken7 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I had to create an account just to express how absolutely abysmal the new controls are. Why do we need to hold triangle in the crafting menu to be able to use any shortcuts? Why aren’t there any shortcuts to go to your first slot on your toolbar other than that new useless quick swap? This is a complete mess in the heat of battle. Especially for anyone who enjoys overhaul mods with massive tool belts and inventories, it’ll be impossible to do anything without hitting 20 buttons. But even for vanilla, this is beyond horrible. My wife and I have played over 2000 hours in the past few years and we’ve both completely lost interest because of these garbage controls. If this doesn’t get fixed, I’m sure many who use controllers will quit because this new setup is unusable. I don’t understand how anyone thought this was a good idea. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken7 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I have to ask, what’s the point in having a dedicated button to drop stuff from your tool belt? Who is going around dropping stuff from their tool belt so often that they needed a dedicated quick button? It’s not your inventory, it’s your tool belt! That’s where everything you use regularly goes. People are definitely going to accidentally drop something important in battle while panicking and trying not to die. Then it’ll despawn shortly after if it’s covered in zombies. I understand that I can just unlink the button to that command but I don’t understand why something like this was added over the old options to quickly go to one of the first 3 tool belt slots. I’m baffled by these decisions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladewalker27 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Just finished an 8 hour stream and 100% agree with everything said here. I'd like to add that driving the bicycle why is the turbo now the R1 button when the accelerate button is R2? Why is the reload/inventory open buttons reversed from A21? It takes forever to do inventory management. Using crafting stations, moving items to and from boxes are all a major chore now and everyone watching my stream agreed. Nearly died several times because of the removal of the directional pad hotkeys. I'm not mad or anything but I had to resort to using the mouse when doing inventory management and using crafting stations because of how slow it is. Also curious why so many button assignments were switched around? I think if you just add an alternate control scheme with the old virtual mouse cursor that would fix several of these issues. Otherwise I'm greatly enjoying Ver. 1.0 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw_187 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Agree 100% with everything said here! I made a comment in the dev diary but good idea with this dedicated topic. The controls for player movement & vehicles are garbage now! Please Pimps....change it back! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturmgeist Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) Yes, PLEASE revert the controller settings. The changes to quickslots and menu navigation are TERRIBLE. This isn't hyperbole - The basics of the game on controller are so tedious/unfriendly that I legit don't want to play with the current system. I certainly won't be buying the ps5 version now if it will have these new controller settings.

Callum123456789 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 yeah i like the other options but the menu navigation feels like a severe downgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApokRi Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) My favorite game of all time. The following is from a place of love and just wanting to see this game succeed. This was going to be a paragraph, but as I continued writing suggestions it became apparent that a list was required. Bring back the option for cursor in menus. Remove hold Y to access dpad options in menus. Remove the ability to drop a tool belt item with a single click. (you can unbind this currently) I love the introduction of the toolbelt wheel Press dpad corresponds to wheel(like image shared) Hold dpad left for wheel(Move stick to select, release without selecting to select middle option. Personally, I would love to see 3 more toolbelt slots and make the wheel a clock.) Hold dpad up for torch toggle Hold dpad right for PTT(I guess) Hold dpad down for remove HUD (or something) Remove hold Y to access dpad options in menus. Scope zoom in/out should require holding the ADS button. Reload and inventory swap is a great change. Anyone who wants to flip it back can do so with button mapping. Remove hold Y to access dpad options in menus. Button mapping is amazing and I am incredibly thankful! Best game of all time! I just want it to be fun again! Any other suggestions feel free to comment! Edited June 25 by ApokRi Clarification (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immhotep Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Is anyone skilled enough to create a custom 7dtd community controller map for steam that fixes these issues? Would that do it? Or is it the game itself that needs fixing? Ruining 1.0 for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immhotep Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 The cursor is still there if you use the track pad in the middle. It's the holding triangle to use an item that is really getting to me. Healing eating, crafting. Not to mention that you can't get to the individual pages (tools/science/clothing) of the creator menu. Oh and you can't navigate and read skills, the button to read them uses the points. And don't get me started on searching or bringing up an on screen keyboard. All those lovely new boxes I was going to play with are useless on controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homie_tatanka Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I posted a bug report on it yesterday and basically told them they shouldn't have messed with the controller set up and that the expected resolution is to revert to the old controller settings. They saw all the online negativity regarding the controller issues and have moved my report to work in progress so hopefully it is resolved soon. I don't play with K&M so without usable controller settings, the game is unplayable for me and my wife (3000+ hours combined). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homie_tatanka Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Good news. My bug report has been replied to and moved to Work In Progress. They are on it. Lets give them time. I am certain they are under a lot of pressure right now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
