| Why the FUCK does Windows require different types of controllers for different games | disclaimer I am not a genius with how windows or Linux treats controllers but I think I know whats going on | maggie |
hi im back fuckers and theres a rant for me to write
so, today i wanted to play some gta online but those rockstar dickheads decided to kill it. that's partially why i'm even on windows to begin with at this point.
after finishing said gta online session i decided to hop off and play celeste and because im a lazy ass bum i decided not to reboot and play with my usual bootleg PlayStation Two controller. turns out, from what i know, windows divides controllers into two groups, directinput (old) and xinput (new). if your controller does directinput only, good luck with playing any modern game in 2024.
on the other hand, if you have an xinput only controller you're pretty much left out of playing any old games.
WHY??
Linux does this perfectly like you have a controller and it just WORKS you don't have to think about useless bullshit like this. why cant it just work, i swear for every one thing windows does right there are 200 other things that it fucks up on a ridiculous level
There is a tool.
yes, i got the tool, but now it uses 50mb of ram in the background at all times and that fucking sucks why do i have to rely on extra software to get my games running?????
bye chat meow
