Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Radial menus not opening

The triggers (L2 or R2 buttons) do not open the radial menus. The rest of the controls respond fine. The L2 and R2 buttons respond fine in other games.

I am running the game (Version 2.0.119.430) on MacBook Pro 2018 with macOS Catalina 10.15.3 and steam. I play with PS3 controllers via bluetooth (I also tried with usb cable same issue). When opening the settings at game start up and going into the Controllers page I see the two controllers:


I did remove rumble by editing GamePadDefinitions.plist but it did not change the L2 and R2 issue.

Unfortunately, there are known controller issues in Catalina, which would need to be addressed in a game update (which has been discussed, but there is no estimate for if or when that may happen).
Copying the GamePadDefinitions.plist from D:OS 2 to the D:OS EE app file may help; here is a link, if you do not have D:OS 2.

Do you have Playstation controller support enabled in Steam? Did you try adjusting the controller configuration in Steam?

Thanks for the file, sadly it didn't work. The problem persists. I adjusted steam's controller support here's the result:

Do you have Playstation controller support enabled in Steam?
Yes, I have tried with steam controller support enabled. When I do so, the game detects two controllers (one virtual controller created by steam and the other the actual controller). I can see it when opening the game, it sees a new "generic" Microsoft controller. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/4H7tsuQ

The effect is the game getting confused because every button press I do is duplicated. For example if in game I press start I get the game menu and overlayed I get the profile selection window as if a new controller was connected for a new local player.

This is "tolerable" in single player, but I'm trying to play shared screen coop locally. When the game is running and I connect a second physical controller the radial menus respond weirdly. Only the first player can open them and they don't close. The radial menus stay open until the opposite trigger is pressed (So L2 closes R2 menu and R2 closes L2 menu).

Here's the game config menu when two controllers are connected: https://imgur.com/hBOzSqK

In Steam, can you remap the controller so that button presses don't do anything, just the triggers? Test with one button first, to see if that will eliminate the duplicate input in-game.

I'm not sure what else you could do to try to work around this in Catalina. Can you use Bootcamp to play in Windows, or an earlier version of OSX?

I borrowed a friend's windows computer and it worked fine : )
