Issues with the controller, right stick not fully recognized

Post by t-breezy »

Hey there,

I'm the new one. Hope y'all doing well. :D

Recently downloaded UZDoom, as well as Doom Runner, and it works quite well. There is just one thing, I also want to play using the Dualsense controller, and that's where the issues begin.
The controller is generally recognized. I can use it in the menus without problem. For using it in-game I have to map it though. I want to map the actions "turn to the left", and "turn to the right" to the right stick of the Dualsense, pushing said stick to the right or left, to be precise. It isn't recognized, however. With every other action, there is no problem. I can map the left stick for every direction, the d-pad, shoulder buttons, face buttons, etc. They all work flawlessly. It is just the right stick. Pushing upwards and downwards (Axis4Minus and Axis4Plus) are recognized on the right stick. Pushing the stick inwards (Joy12) works too. Only when pushing it to the right or to the left (which should be Axis3Minus and Axis3Plus) it isn't recognized.

Using MacOS 14.6.1 with an Apple M1 chip. I'm not running any mods (except the ones that come with UZDoom).

Hope you can help me out with this.

The issue seems to be known:

Little update, I figured out that a decent temporary fix is using the app enjoyable. https://yukkurigames.com/enjoyable/
The controller is recognized immediately. Then with the app, you simply map the inputs of the right stick to the mouse, and then click on "enable."
Then start UZDoom, map everything else how you please, and you are good to go.
