Not sure why no one else has reported this, but whenever I pick either of the gamepad xmls, the camera won't stop orbiting around Sonic. This is after I replaced the old xmls with the new ones. Is this a problem native to Logitech controllers?

Other than that, with the keyboard and mouse, turning feels marginally easier and there's much less friction when in air, so that's good. I still definitely recommend some kind of step-by-step traction function to Sonic's motion that doesn't take away from his high-speed potential. Basically I want to feel Sonic's feet hit the ground with each step, at least until he reaches high-to-full speed, without losing the speed or firm control, and I don't think he should shoot over a flat surface after running quickly up a incline slope before it. That being said, I'll wait until I see how some more original Freerunner stages work.

My camera is stick looking up at Sonic's crotch and rotating with 'right' controller config files. This does not turn me on.

That said, has it been noted already that the Logitech Dual Action pad has problems with this game?

Edit: A bit more info. If I move the right stick all the way to the right, the camera stops rotating. In the 'Game Controllers' part of the control panel, that equates to my Z-axis going all the way down to 0.

The gamepad only truly works with a 360 controller. We can try to assign some controller layouts for specific gamepads, but I really have nothing else than the 360 controller to work with. I don't believe any of the others do, either.

[Chimpo]

Kinda foolish to just depend on just the 360 controller for pad support, especially when PC offers a wide range of options.

[Azookara]

True. I'd use more gamepads / joysticks and make support for them if I had the money to get some.

[Ritz]

The PS Dualshock is the mold for every manufactured PC USB controller I've ever seen. If nothing else, support for that layout is mandatory.

EDIT: Come to think of it, it'd be ridiculous if every PC game developer had to have a copy of every extant USB controller on hand to add support for them! There has to be a site out there with a bunch of layout definitions you can just plug into your shit.

I'm surprised to find that this runs relatively well on my crappy little notebook! That's one good thing about Blitz...

But anyway, I'm really liking the quick turn function you put in there. It makes it run really well.

One thing that does bother me is how fast the camera turns horizontally. It's too slow for me, personally.

Edit: Ooh, another complaint. I'm using the Mouse + WASD controls and one thing that bothers me is that I keep pressing Space to jump but you have it mapped to the Left Click. Considering how many games use Space to jump, I think you should change it to that.

Edit2: Figured out how to mess with the controls, sorry. :P

An X rotation speed of 12 seems to work best for me. I also figured out how to jump with space and roll with E and let me tell you, it feels really good.

I had tons of fun running around the Super Mario locations. I feel that with a little bit more tweaking I think your game will end up being really fun.

If only there were some sort of community who could play this game with different controllers and offer reports on functionality and related fixes.

Same thing happens here, using a PSX controller.

It's kind of hypnotic.

We got a dude that is going to reconfigure the control setup for any PS-based gamepad. Be on the lookout for it, the config.xml should be up in about a day or less.

[Aerosol]

That's wonderful news!

[Morph]

Here it is. Currently, you can't look up or down because it's kinda hard to set up a configuration through another person, but your camera shouldn't explode. You can however, rotate it left, right, and zoom. (The right analog stick is unused in this configuration. If somebody with the know-how that has this controller would like to get it working, be my guest.)

Download here (click), and extract to the "config" folder, as usual.

And...Crashes right away :D Both 1.1 and 1.2 Pre-alphas.

Im using a Hexa Core AMD Phenom II x6 at 3.3ghz each core, with an ATI Radeon HD5750 1GB DDR5 (With the latest drivers of course), and 2GB Ram DDR3. And Im on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

It just "opens" the window and bam, the exe closes with no error message or whatever. A crash-log would be useful right now :P

Its a shame it crashes ...I was looking forward to test this with OVER 9000 of FSAA and FSAS samples :P

The only time that's ever happened to me (and it has), it was related to my tablet. Restarting the tablet service however, seemed to have fixed the issue at the time.

This is a common problem running Windows 7 64 bit, judging from my search results.

MS has a whole article dedicated to resolving game crashes here.

Also, check out how to do a clean boot here, which may enable you to play the game. If the game plays, you will need to figure out which process is causing the problem.

I read that increasing your ram and/or paging file could resolve game crashes too.
