Sorry I'm a few months late, been busy with work but man I love playing this game with a controller more then I do with a keyboard :D
What controller are you using? Playstation 4 Dualshock controller (Magma Red)
Does the controller work? The controller does indeed work
Please check out the new gamepad customization menu in the Options. Does it work, and does it make sense? Is it relevant to the pad you’re using? How could it be improved? It did work, but took me some time to get use to it as this is the first time I've used a controller on a PC
How does your gamepad feel in-game? Is there anything missing, and has anything changed that you’re used to playing with? My controller, in game, felt more natural to me. All the controlls/buttons was their in my hands instead of spread across a flat surface (keyboard). I feel like a controller is more natural to this game.
How would you like your gamepad play further improved? I think the area on the left joystick between running and walking could be increased, I ran more then I walked because the walking area was small to me on the joystick, I'd say maybe find a use for the touchpad on the PS4 controller but then thats controller specific and I feel avoiding controller specific buttons (a button on one controller but not on another) would be a great thing
Do you play in split-screen? If so, how is this beta playing? I do not have anyone to split screen with so no.
In the current game when you use inventory and character windows, your survivor on-screen can still move and perform some actions. If we were to forbid this, and have you either controller as your survivor OR having you navigate the UI, how would you feel? How would this change your playing style? Honestly I'd prefer you to keep it the way it is, but it might benefit more people if you set it to control the survivor or navigate the UI, I guess here it depends on the person and the popularity of each option.
What other gamepad bugs or weirdness have you noticed in this build? My weirdness has nothing with the game, just a cord that didn't want to detect the controller at first for my PC :P
This build also contains a java lwjgl upgrade. Have you noticed any changes in game performance and stability, especially at higher resolutions? Peformance for me went way down, it was very laggy to me but my laptop only has 4GB of ram and is using an integraded HD graphics chip [cant afford to upgrade to a better laptop atm] but other then that the controls worked well and UI was easy to navigate
What's the Number 1 most important issue that you'd like to see resolved in the next update to this beta? For me, it would be performance on laptops because it's getting to the point that I won't be able to play a game I love until I upgrade to a laptop that can handle it, which I can't afford at the moment.
