Anyone else start using a controller on mobile yet? It’s a bit of an annoyance because changing the setting completely reloads the game. It also puts you in a weird controller/touch screen hybrid mode.
In Genshin when you switch to a controller it just flips the interface. Not sure why they couldn’t do that for star rail. Hopefully they add a way to boot into controller mode by default so I don’t have to load the game twice every day.
Yeah, I’ve been using controller on mobile. It’s weird, as it’s both better and worse than Genshin.
On one hand, I think the implementation is better and more complete than Genshin. IE you can actually use the controller on the opening menus. I also think the overall controller interface is better.
However, like you mentioned making the game have to completely restart to enable it is weird, since Genshin never had to do that. In the end that wouldn’t be so bad if it simply remembered that you had controller selected, or noticed you had a controller paired and active, and would just enable that by default at the start. Hopefully that’s a QOL improvement they can do in the future. Make sure to put that in surveys!
I did notice that Genshin on PC began remembering I had controller enabled upon launch recently, so hopefully they’ll roll that improvement out everywhere soon.
The nice difference from Genshin is that if you disconnect your controller you still have access to touch control the menus. You can do almost everything except move the character strangely enough.
Yep, even better than that! If you start touching the screen, it will just instantly swap to touch controls, and then swap back as soon as you use the controller again. It’s really smooth and well done in that aspect!
Ah is controller supported on mobile? The entire reason I moved to pc was for controller support.
Although I do appreciate the better graphics on PC. Also no more overheating on my phone.
Controller support was just added in the last patch when Luocha banner started. Aside from having to restart the game every time to enable it, it works great
