NFS Heat button layout
Good Afternoon, First of all, good job on NFS Heat! I am really surprised by how good it turned out - no offense - and how close it comes to how I pictured an Underground 3. BUT: Didnt somebody te...
If you use steam, you can use that to configure your game pad (Xbox, PS4 or Steam controller).
You can move things around on the controller. There is still the issue of down shift and enter shop using the same button.
I use a steam controller, and I swapped the A and X with LB and RB. That lets me shift gears like on xbox. Only complaint I have about that is you now have to select with LB. But I'm ok with that.
Also, you have to run steam big picture mode so it can convince NFS you have an Xbox controller connected.
You could probably use any other controller config software that lets you modify the controller like that. I don't have any experience with that though.
Cool thing is that you can even map keyboard keys to any button. Maybe use the notepad edit for that NFS file and bind those keys to the controller.
Hopefully it will be fixed. Modern game with no in-depth controller configuration or at least profiles is not good.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info, didnt know that!
I could get used to shifting with LB/RB or R1/L1 respectively - what makes it really unplayable in the end is the accidental bribing when downshifting. I can get used to keeping an eye out for other players suggesting races or waiting to shift up when leaving the garage, but not being able to downshift in a cop chase is killing me.
I am currently being pissed off by the steep roads going uphill and waiting for the autotransmission to shift down already... -_-
