Input
Key rebinding.
Controller bindings and settings.
When removing controller after starting the game, the game requires one to be connected (top). If controller is plugged in after starting the game, the game requires restart to use it (bottom). Disabling controller from the settings requires restart as well.
- If controller is present when game is started it's required to play the game. Unplugging brings popup window asking to reconnect controller. However simply unplugging controller before starting the game and unchecking controller option from controls settings makes it possible to play with mouse and keyboard even if controller is connected.
- Add the command line option
nocontrollerto prevent the game to use controller inputs (on Steam: properties --> launch options:%command% nocontroller)

- The app ID (272470) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
