Xidi

Adds full DirectInput controller support for modern XInput-based controllers.
Restores haptic feedback.
Installing Xidi
Works with Xidi library in DInput form, but requires dropping Xidi's dinput.dll into the game directory.
  1. Ensure the system is running Windows 10 or 11. Xidi is built to target Windows 10 or 11, and does not support older versions of Windows.
  2. Ensure the Visual C++ Runtime for Visual Studio 2022 is installed. Xidi is linked against this runtime and will not work without it. If running a 64-bit operating system, install both the x86 and the x64 versions of this runtime, otherwise install just the x86 version.
  3. Download the latest release of Xidi from here.
  4. Install one of the forms of Xidi into the same directory as the game executable.
  5. Optionally supply configuration settings to Xidi: config.
  6. Run the game.
