Well not sure what was different this time but it fired right up after install.
I didn’t test extensively but the controller support seemed to work reasonably well. I just played through Mos Eisley and nearly got gold even with a little delay on figuring out controls.
There are definitely some tweaks to the control scheme I’ll want to make - it doesn’t follow modern conventions very well (e.g. the fire button isn’t any of the trigger/shoulder buttons). The only issue I noticed is if I accelerated, the camera didnt always keep up. I’m not sure what exactly is causing that. I’ll have to play with settings later to see if I can get it right.
IMO, much better than keyboard though, for my preference anyway.
Unrelated to the controller, it doesn’t want to use the right sound output and I can’t figure out how to control that. In my setup a fairly minor inconvenience. I might be able to figure that out when I get more time to mess with it.
I know I’m a little off-topic but I’ve been trying on and off to get this game to work for years. Are you playing on Windows? I can’t get it to start up properly. Any tips?
If I can get it working, I do have an xbox controller for my PC and would be happy to share my experience!
