no you didnt, just use m&k instead
PC is only hooked to TV. No KB/M from couch.
And seriously... the store page says partial controller support.

I didn't buy the game to play hunched over my computer desk. I bought it because it said "partial controller support", which means I could play from my couch.
Apparently, they lied.
Can't you simply request a refund from Valve? That's probably what I'd do if I was mislead. Perhaps it takes a few weeks, but hopefully you get the money back eventually.

No thanks. I want native controller support, I don't want a hacked emulation of tacked on mouse controls on an analog stick.

Then maybe do more research before buying and downloading things for 20 bucks that you could have found out by visiting the forum for 2 seconds.
It's a console port. Has there ever been a console port in the last 6-8 years that hasn't had controller support?
Why would I possibly think I needed to research whether it had controller support or not?

More research? The store page states very clearly it has controller support. That was false advertising, and you can't blame customers for falling for that.Then maybe do more research before buying and downloading things for 20 bucks that you could have found out by visiting the forum for 2 seconds.

Actually yes. As someone who grew up on consoles, controller support is only really becoming the norm since Steam started Big Picture Mode.
Hell, even Battlefield Bad Company 2, which I owned on 360 for a year before switching to PC, doesn't have 360 controller support.
Expecting it is only going to result in situations like this.
This says partial support, which is exactly what you got. And hell, it might even work with other controllers. It doesn't say 'partial 360 controller support'.
What does that even mean? I'm not even sure what defense force this is...
Partial controller support means the 360 controller can be used to control the game, but some non-crucial gameplay elements like menus may still need keyboard or mouse.
This game has no controller support whatsoever.
Main menu and movies are borked, DoF and shadows are still low (unchanged) resolution, but still: 1 hour and 19 minutes after the steam download finished, we have a 2560x1440 render.
Not sure why but the game does not seem to have any problems with a wired 360 controller plugged in for me. I have it plugged in a rear USB port (if that is worth anything).
This means I was able to map a Pinnacle profile and play the game with controller support! -
LUCKY ME! No analogue walking though, having only 8 directions really sucks with the new camera. But since this morning this game was going to be locked at 720 with no controller support, and I am now playing it at 1080p (thanks Durante) with a controller, I can't complain!
So it's worth trying it out people! I know many people said the game bugs out with a controller plugged in bit if it works for me it must work for others too!
I am going to share my work in case it works for others. Even remapped the keys the best I could so prompts on screen make sense to the controller! Take a look -

It's not as smooth but it's virtually the same thing. If you really wanted to play the game with a controller it's better than nothing.
Wish I wasn't so slows. I've spent 30 min scratching my head. Pinnacle has my head running in circles (confused).
Not even close to being "virtually" the same thing, xpadder/pinnacle profiles for kb/m>gp mean there's no analog movement so both camera and character's controls will always be super clunky.
I mean, I can't get accustomed to it for e life of me and believe me, I've tried... YMMV but it's far from being "virtually the same thing". Shitty practice to acknowledge partial controller support on the Steam page when there's none.
Big props to Durante, regardless I have to say no controller support = no buy.
Any chance of an xinput hack? Has it been done before?
Wait, there is no game pad support at all?
IIRC, none of the Mass Effect games support controllers.It's a console port. Has there ever been a console port in the last 6-8 years that hasn't had controller support?
I don't know about you guys, but I am NOT getting the smooth framerate that some others claim to have gotten. It looks like a weird slideshow when the gameplay starts. My computer is new and is pretty good machine that has handled everything I've thrown at it with ease, so it's not like it doesn't meet the specs. Also when i got to the point where it wanted me to switch weapons, my cursors was constantly moving down. It would not stop. I noticed it did the same thing when I went into the options menu as well.

@durante: as a fellow countryman (or at least as someone who lives in the same country as you) I just had to say I'm very proud of you (even though, like I said, the resolution is the least of my worries)
Now go on and fix the gameplay ; )
Switzerland is rather close, but I'm actually here.
Reset your PC. Not kidding.
Had that, restarted PC and it went away.
Now, though, I'm contending with a worse issue: if I watch any cutscenes, the game crashes. Durante, pls.
Anyone find out if they fixed the zooming on the map from the other versions? I always question how they thought it was a good idea to have a pretty zoomed in map and have the slider zoom in even more.
Just map the buttons the same as mine shown above in the games setup page before launching. And download and import the pinnacle profile above (redownload it because I have improved it in the last 10 minutes). Then as long as your wired controller is selected in Pinnacle, you can START the profile and then launch the game/. You should be good to go. Oh and make sure "Joystick acceleration is off in Preferences/Command. That shit wrecks look movement on the right stick!
