Some of this may help you:

1. Load up a game.
2. Go to taskbar > ⚙️ > Input.
3. Make sure "Game Controllers Enabled" is toggled on.
4. Select "Generic" from the Game Controllers Preset selection and press Apply.
5. Go to the game's Options > Controls menu.
6. Check that there are bindings starting with the ID "joy-".
7. Try to set a binding for instance for "Forward" control using the joystick.

Hello skyjake,

Taskbar:
Unfortunately, I can not find an entry for a game controller.
There I find only:
Video
Audio
Network
Data files
User interface
Updater

Vermil

You have to be in a game for some options to appear?

Hello,

When I go into the game, I can in "Controls"
Change settings. But the joystick is not recognized.

volker1233

hallo,
hello,
Gibt es da eine Datei zum konfigurieren ?
(zum Aktivieren des Joysticks ?)

Is there a file to configure?
(to activate the joystick?)

All the settings are under the "configs" directory inside the Doomsday runtime folder: https://manual.dengine.net/guide/2.2/readme_windows#files

Look for the cvars that begin with "input-joy-".

However, the same settings are available in the GUI (as mentioned in my first reply).

Could you attach here your doomsday.out log file? (Add a ".txt" suffix to make the forums happy.)

Attached the "Doomsday.out.txt" file.
Not allowed here...

volker1233

erased.

volker1233

Attached the "Doomsday.out.txt" file.

I'm not seeing any logs?

You could try https://pastebin.com instead.

in the file "bindings.cfg" (C:\Users\Volker\AppData\Local\Deng Team\Doomsday Engine\runtime\configs\doom\player) stands:

"Use autoexec.cfg
for your own startup commands."


where can i find the file ?

skyjake

It doesn't exist by default, you need to create it yourself in a text editor.

The path would be: "C:\Users\Volker\AppData\Local\Deng Team\Doomsday Engine\runtime\autoexec.cfg"

hello skyjake,
The file "autoexec.cfg" is not available on my computer.

i cannot fint it anywhere.

hello skyjake,

Problem solved.
It was very simple:
Press Shift ESC while a game is loading.
I did not know that.
Now I just have to disable the "Side-Step".
Rotation of the character by joystick.
