Bleak Faith Forsaken Steam Controller Settings

Welcome to our Bleak Faith Forsaken Steam Controller Settings guide. A guide on how to setup Big Picture Controller Settings to make this game playable on a Gamepad.

This guide requires you play the game through Big Picture Mode. I have no clue how to get the new BPM to work on my computer so I use a temporary fix to enable the old version of Big Picture Mode. This is temporary because Steam will be removing it in the future. If you can get the new BPM to work on your PC then you can skip Section 1.

It’s setup for a PS5 controller but it should work for any. The only thing you will have to change is the binding to switch between layers, if you really care.

The config is by default a KBM to Controller scheme. For reasons out of my control, you will need to use the mouse when you are in your inventory. Other than that, everything should be good to go. Just change the bindings in-game and you’re off! I tried to emulate Dark Souls controller scheme as best as I could.

The Analog layer translates the controllers actual buttons so if you’d like to use Bleak Faith’s native controller settings, just switch to the Analog Controller layer and it will read your inputs properly. This will work and play as if the game had proper controller support out the box.

Bleak Faith is super fun once you get the controls figured out so please give this config a try and see if it enhances your experience!

Enabling Old Big Picture Mode

Right-Click Steam shortcut and go to Properties. In the “Target” box, type the following at the very end of what’s in there: -oldbigpicture

Setting up the Bindings In-Game

In order for this config to work you must change some bindings in the “Mouse and Keyboard” options. I just chose random keys, there is no particular reason why; but just match your bindings to the pictures and your controller will work.

Tips

  • If using the KBM Layer you must use your mouse in the Inventory menu. It won’t work any other way.
  • If you want to use the games controller layout, use the Analog Layer. This will allow you to do everything with just the controller.
  • Movement feels very floaty and that’s a design choice but you can mitigate it by increasing the deadzone slightly and change the attenuation curve to “Relaxed” in the controller config options. Honestly the default joystick settings in the config feel just fine.
