Controller support | ||
Full controller support | The game doesn't disable the mouse cursor when playing with a controller, the mouse cursor will always snap to the centre of the screen when opening any UI screen; the only real issue this causes is making the tooltips to not display properly as it will always show the tooltip for what the mouse cursor is highlighting, not what the controller currently has selected. | |
Controller remapping | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | |
