Greetings

I recently restarted playing Grim Dawn for a while... I was using 1.0.0.9 version (yes, old one, i took a long break with the game)
I play with controller (because sadly, i physically cannot really play H&S / ARPG games with KB+M anymore since a handful of years now) and up to 1.0.0.9 GD was maybe the only one (with torchlight 2 using a third party dedicated tool) that had decent controller support... Sometimes a bit tedious and clunky, sometimes i would get some help of my mouse, but overall it worked (i play rather casual simple builds that dont require many powers)

Decided to update it but i wanted first to catch up with all the gazillions patchnotes that came with all the updates i missed before deciding to update.

Now i did,and while i noticed there was a rather big overhaul of the UI regarding the use of a controller, like the back button brings now all character, map, skill screens and such; the skill allocation to quickslots changed (the little wheely thing)...
I usually put auras/toogle activation skills on quickslot 7+, so even if, in 1.0.0.9, it was a bit tedious to activate all possible 4 slots there, it was usually for skills that i dont use in the heat of battle, and onlly constant-activated skills that you only launch at start (or when ressurecting at town) and in a safe zone.
So far i was used to the Right Stick push and then emulate mouse pointer and click to all 4

Now in 1.1.3.0 the right stick button doesnt trigger "free mouse pointer emulation" anymore and there is no such "key binding setting" in the options.

So, question is: how do i activate quickslots 7+ with a controller on GD 1.1.3.0 (using a Xbox360 device here)

Thank you a lot in advance for the help

Hello,

I'm not sure if you have found a solution to your answer yet, but I will try and help.

Pressing the "back" button on your controller will bring up a menu. While in this mode, the left analog stick will act as your mouse/pointer. The "A" button will act as left click. Unfortunately there is no right click. "RB" or "LB" will cycle through your options. "Y" will bring up another menu where you can assign your skills. While in this menu (and in game), "R3" will toggle your quickbar.

Here are two pics to illustrate what I mean.

Y works as a right-click for me on the inventory screen. I use it to read various documents and recipes, as well as for adding components to items. I didn't change anything in the keybindings, so maybe I just got lucky somehow or it's contextual based on the screen you're on.
