What you have just said is a lie. I know for a fact it is, because i have spent many hours visiting many communities on the net regarding this problem and some people don't even have it.

If you own a logitech rumblepad 2 or a ps2-pc adaptor, the left analog stick will be used for movement and the right analog stick for the camera. if anyone else owns any other type of controller the sticks have been reversed. the only fix for this bug is to either buy a logitech rumblepad 2 or a ps2-pc adaptor. This shouldn't be an option because it is listed in the minimum specs you can use a generic usb pad. This has to be fixed!

Hello Jonathan,

In this case the game is designed with the right analog stick for movement and the left analog stick for viewing control. There is no way to be able to change this as its the way the game has been designed to be operated.

Kind Regards,

"I purchased the game today and the performance of the game is fantastic. but the controls are seriously bugged, i am using a usb dual shock(looks like a ps2 pad) control pad. First of all the movement is controlled by the right analog stick, the control is all backwards. pressing right on the right analog stick would go up etc. In the options screen there isn't an option to change the movement controls at all, the game is totally unplayable this way. i was hoping you could help me with a fix. The movement analog stick should be the movement stick."

This a follow up to a question i posted awhile ago. I am still getting the same problems above and i have done some research and it pretty much happens with every user who owns this game who is using a usb gamepad.

I definetly can't play the game like this, so i have checked the manual and the minimum specifications for the game to find out what control pad to use with it. you claimed in the previous question that not all control pads work correctly with this game. So, in the minimum spec and manual all it lists is a generic usb gamepad. please could you give me a recommendation for a pad that will work 100% or fix it and give us the patch the online community is demanding.

my left stick on my wired 360 pad does nothing at all and the right is movement impossable to play like this

[SuperBeatBoy]

in the end i just bought a logitech rumblepad 2. it works perfectly, you should have to do this when the minimum spec clearly states a generic usb pad. i heard buying one of these does the job aswell http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?cat...ducts_id=3833&

[dvdmike]

the reason i got the game was so i didnt have to go near a dual shock lol

[SuperBeatBoy]

the reason i got the game was so i didnt have to go near a dual shock lol

post a question to ubisoft like i did. the more people who will get into contact with ubisoft and be angry about it the better. at least it will annoy the ****s.

[dvdmike]

BUMP anyone got this working with any controllers yet ??

[SuperBeatBoy]

sold mine eventually. i'll just get the pal ps2 version next week.

[KIT786]

There is a patch out for the game that lets you set controls for your gamepad + a few fixes but not all gamepads are supported

[dvdmike]

where is the patch?

[sj33]

Sorry to resurrect this topic from the dead, I normally curse when people do stuff like this, but was a solution ever found for the control issues (to map the movement to the left analogue stick)? The game is a few quid now, and I'm quite tempted if I can ise my 360 controller.

[KIT786]

I'm not 100% certain but i think the patch v1.3 fixed the control problems but not with all controllers

http://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/919820_0.htm

[sj33]

Does anyone know if the patch allows people to use wired 360 controllers? I'm playing through Devil May Cry 4 on, so I'd like to move onto Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition next y'see.
