Controller is a legitimate way to play Dayz on PC. Mouse and keyboard may be the preferred method by the majority, but controller is supported by the game and therefore is just as legitimate a way to play the game as any other.
However, after all this time, the basic controls of the xbox controller still do not work on PC. Th right bumper button leans to the right and the left bumper button leans to the left. Fine. But when you aim the gun and lean to the left, the right stick on the controller is disabled. You cannot lean left and aim the gun with the right stick. This all works perfectly fine when you lean right.
Now, you can argue that the controller is mapped to buttons within the game, but the controller works fine on Xbox using the same controller and playing the same game! So, mapping this controller so that it actually does what it is supposed to do is possible.
With all the bugs and problems Dayz has and has had over the years how can the basic control issues of the game still go unaddressed? I play with a controller. I have no interest in playing with a mouse and keyboard. Yet, I still cannot lean around corners and aim when leaning left. This puts players at a humungous disadvantage that they should not have to endure on a legitimate control method supported by the game. It is bad enough to at a disadvantage against mouse players without this issue still persisting within the game since 2019 when the game was officially released!
Can we please have the button mapping sorted out on the controller for PC please?
Personally, for me, this is the biggest bug in the whole game. Other bugs come and go. This one remains and is central to playing the game. We are talking about the basic controls of the game here and they still do not work!
