ropeladder: Hi, thanks for the new linux version! It works great, except it doesn't recognize my Xbox360 wireless controller at all. The controller works in Steam Big Picture Mode, and the input shows up in jstest-gtk.

Thanks.

RawSteelUT: Manjaro user here. I was able to get my controller working by deleting the libSDL2-2.0.so.0 file in the game's directory [/user/.GOG Games/Dead Cells/game for me]. From what I gather, that one was made with Ubuntu in mind, so deleting it will force the game to use the system's version.
It works for me in Manjaro 18.0.2 (x64) with usb gamepad

Coldstate: Using xboxdrv to mimic the wireless controller as xpad did the trick.
xboxdrv --mimic-xpad --silent
Yeah, I always add "--type xbox360 --mimic-xpad" to xboxdrv options. Dead cells is not the only one with this kind of problems.

Struggling Manjaro user here. I followed all the steps in this thread (thanks to @RawSteelUT @Coldstate and @torham for their recommendations), but still no dice.

I'm definitely a bit closer - when xboxdrv is running, "Controller" shows up in the options menu, and it doesn't when xboxdrv isn't running. Sadly, the game still doesn't seem to detect any input from it...

Any other ideas what I could try?

The help I used:

https://sebadorn.de/2018/08/11/dead-cells-ps4-controller-support-on-linux

it references the following Reddit Post, which includes xboxdrv help:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/6rxhj8/what_happened_with_the_dualshock_4_and_the_new/

I created a bash script - in the same dir as start.sh - that tests which controller I have attached and does all
the setup and is sourced by the start.sh:

|# Initialization
|CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
|cd "${CURRENT_DIR}"
|source controller.sh # added
|source support/gog_com.shlib

best to

$ chmod u+x controller.sh

Thanks for trying, didn't seem to help sadly. On the plus side, I got an old DS4 from my brother, and that worked without any extra steps at all!

Go to the installation folder an search for (libSDL2-2.0.so) then delete it. That's how I got my Xbox One pad to work.
