[Request] Playing Rust with Controller Should Be Allowed - Rust

Hi, I started playing rust 2 weeks ago more or less and after few days I searched the feature for playing with controller, obviously there isn't, mainly because is still on alpha test and developers are focusing on other aspects and features of the game. So after checking that I set up my Xbox One controller with xpadder, I run rust and when I joined I was not even able to interacte. I was surprised about that, I immediately thought about a bug, after the first search on google, all was clear, VAC will stop every third parties software running on background that allowed you to modify one or more parts of the game. This is fantastic, because it will reduce to a low % the number of cheaters/hackers, but I cant even understand why playing with controller is not allowed. I think that playing on that game with a M&K is way better than playing with controller, so is not an unfair advantage playing with controller, but for guys like me that played an entire life on console, I think that the gameplay will be more comfortable. So I'm not asking to give us a features to play with controller, Im just asking to enable xPadder, Pinnacle or software like them on rust. With this policy controller is defined as a "cheat" and there are hackers and cheaters that fly map to map. This cant be real.

so ... what you want is to be able to play with a controller

[QUOTE=Mezamorphis;47516847]so ... what you want is to be able to play with a controller[/QUOTE] Yes :) I Know that is a long post and maybe the only quote "Playing Rust with controller should be Allowed" is enough but I wanted to show my point of view arguing why it should be allowed.

It's not that it isn't allowed, it's that they are busy working on other things at this time. There's probably plans to someday

[QUOTE=Thor-axe;47517548]It's not that it isn't allowed, it's that they are busy working on other things at this time. There's probably plans to someday[/QUOTE] ^^^^^^ This. Not a lot of PC gamers want to give up the precise control of their mouse and keyboard for a controller. Putting time and effort into getting controller support for an insignificant minority of people playing the game is likely pretty low priority in their list of things that need to be done.

Now you are not even able to play with controller because EAC blocks every background software that interacte with rust, so you can't set up and play with controller trought xpadder or pinnacle. to be clear: I don't want to force them to get a controller support, I just want to allow xpadder and pinnacle or at least one software to set up and play trough it. I don't think that I'm asking more that I can receive, IMHO is insane that EAC blocks controller software because they are considered "cheats"

I support the ability for players to use controllers. This will be a whole other group of players I can dominate with my precision mouse controlled aim and movement!

I just don't think it's high on their list of priorities. And just as a side note, I know Logitech Gaming Software isn't blocked by EAC. If you have Logitech G-series peripherals, they work just fine with Rust. I have all my functions (duck, run, inventory, Steam overlay and voice broadcast) programmed to buttons on my Logitech G700s mouse. No issues here.

I thought controllers were for kids who cant play games very well, and want to play other games good too?

[video=youtube;jc62TasmDsw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc62TasmDsw[/video] Steam consoles are coming out later this year, (complete with controllers...)

Console FPSs use auto-aim because controllers suck for FPSs. Controllers are great for platformers, adventuring or sports games. Dunno why anyone would want to use one in an FPS while others are playing with mice.

However let's stop our discussion about mouse vs controller on fps. This topic was made for a different purpose

I dont understand why would you want to use controller, but to each his own buddy!

then you'll moan about getting rekt by people with KB+M

Cover one eye, and play with one hand behind your back. Same experience.

I agree, they need to unblock this. It disables the controller in Windows completely, its not just a problem with xpadder or pgp. Cant enter controller commands in the input menu at launch, yet other games that use the same menu work fine with it. Its clearly a problem with EAC yet in reign of kings which also uses EAC currently only blocks some buttons. They need to improve their code
