Our ReVolt Pub

I'm trying to use a Steam Controller, but it's not detected by Re-Volt 1.2.
I don't understand why that is -- an Xbox 360 Controller works fine and Steam just emulates an Xbox 360 Controller.

I have added Re-Volt 1.2 as a shortcut in my Steam library and I configured the "Gamepad" emulation for it.
I even tried to use the "Gamepad" setting as the default one - but nothing works.

Does anyone have an idea why this doesn't work and/or how to fix it?

Please use RVGL, 1.2 does not support XInput AFAIK.
Steam Controller doesn't support directinput iirc.
you can still try to play via keyboard/mouse remapping in the controller settings overlay in game.
this game is a keyboard only game. remember it's dated 1999
