    Hey gang,

    Like most people, I've just restarted TW3 again after the success of the TV show. First time I played it, I played on a base PS4 and it was...left wanting I guess. I've just installed it on the PC and it's like a completely different game. However, I'm running into a really weird problem.

    No Caption Provided

    So, this is the layout for the controller. It looks very similar to the PS4 version. But...when I press RT, it does the strong strike. And RB does the light strike. And Y opens up the sign menu. And there is ZERO WAY to cast signs with a controller.

    Is this because I'm using a 360 controller? I actually don't know what's going on.

    I think I know what's going on, but bear with me.

    On the fresh install, I downloaded "The Enchanced Edition" mod for TW3, which is a total conversion of the mechanics. Now, I have a feeling that when I installed that, it changed the layout of the controller. I hated the EE (It was NUTS hard) and uninstalled it. However, I think the controller changes persisted? When I loaded the game with just the vanilla stuff, the controller prompts were all wonkey and fucked up.

    Now, I've tried two different installs of The Witcher 3. The one I tried first was the Steam install. Then I "Pirated it" (Despite owning the game on steam) just to see if a fresh install would fix it, but it hasn't. I have a feeling that the .ini in the documents folder is shared between installs, and that's the problem.

    But if it is, how would I go about fixing that?

    This is really frustrating. People are saying I should just use mouse and keys, but shouldn't I be allowed to play a game I payed for, how I want?

    Any ideas would be swell

    According to PCGW, the config files are located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\The Witcher 3\. There also appears to be another config file at <path-to-game>\bin\config\base\hidden.ini that has some control options. You might want to try moving these files to another location and then let the game recreate them or repair your Steam install.

    That's sorted it straight up. You're a hero
