Unable to use Sand Powers besides Rewind/Recall when playing with a Controller
- This is a limitation of XInput Controllers when playing older DirectInput games. LT and RT are bound to the Z-Axis and do not register when held simultaneously.
If using a Controller that supports multiple modes, switch it from XInput to DirectInput then rebind all Gamepad buttons in game options.[10] |

- For XInput Controllers:
Add an XInput to DirectInput translation layer and configure triggers as buttons[11] |
