Greetings:

I am posting this because I feel this might be useful for other players who want to use a controller with the PC version of the game and do not have an x-box controller. The game is unplayable with a PS4 controller with the game directly plugged into your PC. (Probably all non X-box controllers) The RT to grab blocks for example defaults to right on the right analogue stick ... which becomes quickly annoying.

So I dug around and have found out that you can modify your controller settings. You can do so by modifying the following file:
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Ori and the Blind Forest DE\ControllerButtonRemaps.txt

The following text emulates the same default button presses for a PS4 controller so it's as if you were using an x-box controller. Simply replace the portion of text to this and your controller will work as intended.

{Start of txt mod}

--------
Activate DirectInput Button Rebinding: False
--------
A: 1
B: 2
X: 3
Y: 4
LShoulder: 5
RShoulder: 6
Select: 7
Start: 8
LStick: 9
RStick: 10
LTrigger: 13
RTrigger: 14
--------

{End of txt mod}

NOTICE: The file itself mentions that syntactical errors will cause the game to default back to the original settings so be sure to not change any spacings and so on in the ControllerButtonRemaps.txt file. (Extra spaces and line breaks may cause this for example)


If you experience similar behaviour with another gaming controller (such as a logitech one) simply map the button number to the corresponding button you want to use. I used windows Game Controllers Properties settings to figure out what numbers the PS4 buttons were mapped to.
Found at (Windows 10 - Other windows OS's will be similarly located): "Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers"
Right click on "Wireless Controller" select "Game Controller Settings" then click "Properties". You can use this window to find the key press to corresponding button for your specific controller.

Hopefully this helps someone,

Thanks! It really helped me a lot.
Also I changed
Activate DirectInput Button Rebinding: True
to enable rebindings work.

I don't have that file. There are no files similar to that anywhere in the game's folder. I cannot change the controller settings. I use 360ce to actually use a controller (Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2).

It's frustrating playing this with lack of remapping.

Anyone help?

Thanks!

Maybe you looked in the install folder of the game? You won't find it there.

As mentioned, the files are stored in local app data. Just type %localappdata% into your file browser and find the folder Ori and the Blind Forest DE.
