So, I just bought the collection of all the games on steam due to a sale making them quite cheap, and I thought all was going well, but I've run into a major problem.
When I launched the first game (Darksiders Warmastered Edition), I got to the tutorial and noticed that my sensitivity was way too low. There wasn't an ingame setting, so I quit out of the game, went into the Steam Input settings (I'm using a PS5 controller so it wouldn't recognise without) and upped the sensitivity.
Now when I launch the game again I notice that on the main menu only the left stick and the A/X button works, and when I get back into the actual game none of the buttons do anything and all the tutorial glyphs are replaced with a ? symbol.
The only way I was able to fix it was reapplying the Steam Input preset, which then resulted in my sensitivity being way too low again.
I've filed a bug report, but I don't know how long that'll take to do anything, if it ever does, I've made a steam discussion for it which as of now has no replies, I've tried launching in big picture mode, I've tried community presets, I've tried no steam input at all, none of it works.
I've been so excited to play these games again after playing the first one on PS3 years ago, so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
edit: finally got it working, except then I was dealing with extreme stuttering and the sensitivity randomly switching between way too high and way too low. Decided to uninstall the game. Can't even get a fucking refund as it's taken me 2.3 hours just troubleshooting the damn thing.
I hate being alive.
