I'll help deal with any issues that may occur. Just post them here.
Hello. I can't get the game to detect my controller. I'm using a wireless xbox controller with a usb dongle. I tested the controller in steam big picture which detects it just fine but if I try it in SPB and select the configure controller option in the menu it says to tilt left stick up but doesn't register when I do so.
Try unplugging it (leave it unplugged) and open the controller config again. If it says "controller not detected" or something along those lines, then it's a compatibility error. Otherwise, it means you have something else the game is mistaking for a controller connected. Unfortunately I don't have that controller, so I can't fix it if it's a compatibility error.
