[SOLVED] Steam Link + Steam Controller observations

Not sure if these are bugs / usability / design choices. The majority could really be down to a Steam Link or Steam Controller issue, since the game is tagged as Full Controller Support, but here's a brain dump:
* Controller was initially configured as a general gamepad, not keyboard/mouse bindings, and nothing seemed to work at all, so I needed to bind a Mouse+Click to navigate UI
* Many menu pages have no Back button, so I needed to bind Escape key as well
* Couldn't find any way to map to an analog input offered by the game, so I tried Analog Emulation of Left/Right keys for steering but this works terribly (which is probably Steam's fault) but it would be much better if the game offered an analog input
* When I ran out of cash and had only a wrecked car (partially because I suck, partially because I couldn't turn at all), I was unable to reset the league career mode for the driver. So I deleted the driver and tried to create another, and found that the Big Picture mode on-screen keyboard had no effect on the Driver name input. I also found that the Escape binding seemed to have no effect so I was completely stuck on that page.

I'll test more with different permutations to see if Steam Controller or Steam Link is more responsible than the other, but at this stage it would be good to know if these are known issues and already in the Backlog before I go completely nuts testing things?

Interesting observations. Neither of us have either a Steam Link nor a Steam Controller so we would have no idea how they'd work with the game unfortunately. And it seems we've had no other players using either before (or at least didn't report any errors with them).

The game assumes everything is either a gamepad, keyboard or a mouse. Since the default bindings were for a gamepad the game did think it was a gamepad.
No screens should have back buttons but maybe we missed a couple. You should always be able to back out using ESC or button 1 on any controller (which is B or O on Xbox and Playstation). The Steam controller must have one of those as well.
Analog inputs are mapped the same way all other buttons are. Go to Control options and hit A or X or Enter and it should wait for anything and if a analog axis is pressed or moved it should map that. I don't know if the steam controller has its entire own API or something is just broken without testing it but it does sound odd if that doesn't work. We're polling both xinput devices and directinput devices. Maybe we need to explicitly support the Steam Controller for anything to work.
When you run out of cash you can always get a scrap car for free from the shop to get back on track. There should be no need to restart or delete your driver.
We haven't tested Big Picture Mode much yet. Didn't know that could be an issue so thanks for pointing that out.

I hope that this at least gives you an idea where the state is for these issues for the game. Not many players could've been using any of this so far it feels like. I guess we have some work to do to fully support these things. At the moment working on these issues would kill our time to improve the game in all other areas. How important is this to you? Is the Steam Controller your preferred controller? Do you often play using Big Picture Mode? Doesn't button mapping in the options menu work at all?

OK I tried what is possibly the simplest route, XBox compatible gamepad (Madcatz) on PC (no Steam Link / Streaming) and non-Big Picture, and still the game gives no response in the game UI or even during a rebinding. So it seems there's something basic not working like DirectInput I guess? Please advise

EDIT: And to confirm the gamepad is confirmed working elsewhere, such as in Big Picture navigation and other games.

Ok good thinking. That's odd. We've had no issues running with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. How does the keyconfig file look in the Documents/My games/Roadclub/Settings folder?

What does the log say? Try posting them both here.

Sure thing.

Just tried again with v1.20 instead of the beta channel v1.21 and my Madcatz controller is working

Benster [developer] 13 Apr, 2017 @ 3:03pm

Yeah seems we broke something in the beta fixing the resolution setup. It isn't detecting any controllers which is apparent in the log. My controller isn't working either anymore. At least we can replicate it and fix it now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We'll stablize 1.21 and get it out to everyone asap. (after this weekend - it is easter season here)

No problemo, have a good break :D

FYI, Steam Link + Steam Controller are all good with v1.20

Benster [developer] 16 Apr, 2017 @ 2:00am

Oh awesome. Then its "only" the total trashing of the gamepad functionality I did for 1.21 :D

Benster [developer] 19 Apr, 2017 @ 1:50pm

A new beta version is out (still 1.21). Would be awesome if you could confirm that it fixes the gamepad issue and the auto resolution picker. Thanks!

Tried the latest beta 1.21, both auto-resolution and gamepad are working.

However there's a new issue. It seems that when hitting what I assume is top speed or at least a high speed, a load of smoke puffs out of the tires similar to locking up, however the car does not seem to decelerate much if at all, and steering is almost entirely locked when this happens and I inevitably slam into a wall and the lock is gone and I can drive fine again. I suspect it might be related to the driving model, as during this race 2 AI racers also got completely lost in the trees and were unable to find their way out.

Good to hear what we set out to fix is actually working!

I've seen it before and it is usually because the physics engine can't keep up during low framerates. since physics updates are now based on refresh rates I'm suspecting that it auto-chose a low refresh rate.

Could you post from the log what it actually chose?
Does it help to set an explicit refresh rate in the ini like before?
If that does not help, does it help setting explicit refresh rate AND resolutions in the ini?

Thank you so much for testing, this would've been bad if we set it public.

Yeah seems to be autoselecting 30hz, even though 60 is available:

Frame rate in general was terrible. Setting refresh rate manually didn't help, but setting resolution AND refresh rate fixed it.
