Controller support

Control options screen.

Controller support on Windows

The developers recommend somewhat light-heartedly that the players use, or google if they don't know it, a utility named [JoyToKey]. Please also check the controller category for more information.

It is recommended to bind left stick to move, right stick to fire direction, as in a standard dual-stick shooter. If your controller has four face buttons aligned in a plus shape, binding those to fire direction is another effective option, as the game does not allow you to fire diagonally anyway.

Controller support on Linux

Use the following xboxdrv config (requires xboxdrv to be installed):

[xboxdrv]
ui-clear=true
silent=true
trigger-as-button=true
detach-kernel-driver=true

[ui-axismap]
X1 = KEY_A:KEY_D
Y1 = KEY_W:KEY_S

X2 = KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT
Y2 = KEY_UP:KEY_DOWN

DPAD_X=KEY_A:KEY_D:1
DPAD_Y=KEY_W:KEY_S:1

[ui-buttonmap]
start = KEY_P
guide = BTN_MODE
back = KEY_R

A = KEY_DOWN
B = KEY_RIGHT
X = KEY_LEFT
Y = KEY_UP

LB = KEY_E
RB = KEY_Q

LT = KEY_E
RT = KEY_SPACE

Just run it as:

sudo xboxdrv -s --config ~/isaac.xboxdrv

Issues fixed

Steam achievements not unlocking

On certain systems Steam achievements may fail to unlock and get registered.

A fan made fix has been developed to solve this issue on Windows.

Steam Achievements on Mac

For the achievements gained on a Mac to be unlocked in Steam, one has to copy and replace the so.sol files as outlined here. The file is located in:

~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/''<Random String>''/localhost/

After extracting it, follow the instructions given in the aforementioned link. Finally launch the game and see the achievements unlock.

Alt+Tab Crashing

Does not appear to be a fix for this yet. Also happens when pressing Windows key.

Solution: press F, it toggles fullscreen.

Steam Community does not work in full screen

If you are playing the game in full screen, you will be unable to access Steam Community's Shift Tab overlay.

Toggle Fullscreen Key Doesn't Work In-Game

On the options menu, it states F is the key you use to toggle fullscreen/windowed mode. However, this only works on the title menu or in the pause menu. In-game, pressing F does absolutely nothing unless the game is paused. Currently, there is no fix for this.
