Overview
Rayman Legends, along with some other titles, got completely goobered when big picture mode came around with hidden controller settings. This is how I got my kids and I playing multiplayer, for both xbox and PS controllers.
Steam Big Picture
Problem:
Steam has controller settings buried in Big Picture mode. What makes things more confusing, is the game defaults to a funky controller setup made by another user that does not work.
Solution:
- Go to steam big picture mode
- Select your game in the library
- Select manage game, then controller options
- These are my settings. Others might work but haven’t tested.
- Exit Controller Options and select controller configuration (top).
- By default, your left stick will (likely) not be set as “joystick move”. Set as “joystick move” by clicking and changing. Make sure the buttons are correct as well.
- On the bottom right, click “Switch Controller”. This will switch to the next controller. If this is a playstation controller, set the left stick as “joystick move” as before.
- The playstation controller buttons may be mapped as xbox buttons (recommended). See images below.
This is what the final config should look like (playstation)
Running The Game
- Before running the game, plug in your gamepads and make sure windows sees them..
- Run the game.
- In my case, I was able to set player four (myself) as keyboard.
- In game, press the jump buttons to activate each character. On my copycat wireless playstation controller, I had to press the start button to activate, then jump.
Didn’t Work!
- Try setting your “Controller Options” in big picture mode as “forced on” instead of “global setting”.
- If the buttons are off, make sure you check each controller in big picture’s “Controller Configuration” so that they have the correct inputs.
- Check your windows game controller settings in windows to make sure everything is running.
- Bummer dude. Can’t think of anything else!
