Controller Support

Note that instructional tooltips remain as if using a keyboard and mouse when using the controller.

  • PsychoPad v1.0b can be used to add Xbox 360 controller menus and tooltips to game. Requires v1.05 patch.

Xbox 360 Controller Recommended

The game works fine with keyboard and mouse input, although some might perfer playing with a controller. On most, if not all, versions of the game, the Xbox 360 Controller works out of the box.

Other Controllers

In the settings of the game you can fully configure the buttons of the controller. Alternatively you can use Xpadder although this should not be nessasary.

Issues And Fixes

Changing Swing Direction

When swinging from a bar the 'F' key is used to change swing direction (Y on the controller).

Thermometer Bar in Wrong Location

When using widescreen resolutions, occasionally the 'thermometer' bar for pyrokinesis will be displayed at the outer-edge of the screen rather than near the targeted object/creature. There are no known fixes to this bug.

Graphics Error Preventing Startup

Error: "The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."

Solution: Create a file called "DisplaySettings.ini" in the game directory. Populate it with the following:

[DisplaySettings]
ScreenWidth=1080
ScreenHeight=1920
FullScreen=true
VSync=true
FSAA=true
FSFX=true
AdvancedShading=true
Shadows=true
GammaCorrection=1.000000"

ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight are your desired resolution.

Unofficial-Patches

v1.05 by Voodooman;October 02, 2011 Update for non-steam version. Adds XInput support.
