Intro
Coming back to One Piece Warriors 3 after a few years and the first thing I encountered was my controller button mapping being all over the shop and unplayable.
'Start' didn't skip cutscenes, 'A' was 'X', 'B' was 'Y', triggers were look left and right - seriously?!

While there are a few 3rd party apps out there that allow you to remap your controller buttons (something I used myself a few years back), I found that some of them simply no longer work today.

So, this guide goes through something some of you may not be aware of - and that is that Steam itself has a fast and easy way to configure your controller button mapping (for any game actually) with existing community created controller profiles!
Instructions
First things first, turn your controller on and connect it to your PC (wireless or wired).
Easy to miss, but the below step won't be possible if Steam doesn't detect a controller.
  1. In your Steam library, make sure One Piece Warriors is selected and then click on Controller Configuration - a new window should pop-up.

  2. Down the bottom, select Browse Configs.


  3. Next, select Community on the left and then click on the P1 XBOX ONE S profile.
    You may need to click Sort by Votes (button left) so that you can find this profile near the top.


  4. You should now see the Preview screen. Two things to check here, make sure all button mapping for the right thumbstick are configured as per the above image, and that the trigger buttons are set to shift and tab.
    If it all looks good, hit Apply Configuration.


  5. Hit Done and that's it. Launch the game and enjoy!
Thank you
Thank you for checking this guide out and I hope this method helps someone out there like it did for me!
Returning to a poorly ported game after some time can be a challenge, especially when it comes to figuring out how to get things to how they should be.

Special thanks to everyone creating custom controller profiles on steam!
These were especially amazing during the stream controller days and made getting into a game 10x faster versus having to manually create your own from scratch.

Those aren't the same screenshots I get. I honestly don't know what to do, and it's not really worth my time. This game, even if it's pretty good, it was cra&&ly ported.

Guessing it would work too with a playstation 4-5 controller too, but thanks, honestly really needed that cause I was wondering what was going on with my controller for a moment :hatty:

No problem. Unfortunately, it turned out this solution didn't work for me in the end so I had to resort to using 3rd party software (XInputPlus) to make the game playable. (I would've added that to my previous comment but didn't let me edit it :p)

Thanks for the suggestion @Nappa, I did a quick test with another controller (Switch Pro) and ran into that issue as it hadn't been 'enabled' by default. I'll look to update this guide with a troubleshooting section on how to set that part up.

@lumi_essence - check out the conversation thread below as it has some possible suggestions to try out.

Hi, I enabled steam input and followed every step, but the game doesn't let me press anything at all. I have no idea how to fix this. No matter what I do, the game doesn't detect my controller.
