Controller support

Some users have reported success with using an Xbox 360 Controller but there are often issues with the use of the thumb-sticks.[3] This can be fixed by using a program such as XPadder to rebind controls, using the D-Pad to steer, and disabling the thumb-sticks.

Settings Bug (Non-English Steam versions)

Non-English versions of the game have a bugged Settings launcher whereby adjusting options has no effect, with Mafia always running with default values. In some cases, this has also led to Mafia not running.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/40990/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (40990) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
