No D-pad support?

[solamon77]

I finally got around to starting the Backer Demo and wow am I impressed, but there is one thing REALLY bothering me. Why can't I use the D-Pad to control the game? I absolutely HATE using an analog stick to control a game that offers digital movement. Please tell me this will be sorted out by the time the game launches.

We're working on releasing a patch to fix a couple of gamepad bugs people have found. We had a bit of forced downtime last week due to an event, but hopefully it will be out by the end of this one. Sorry about the inconvenience!

Hey, sorry for this issue, we definitely want people to be able to play with d-pads, like we prefer ourselves. If time is of the essence, you can try unplugging your gamepad and plugging it back in while the game is open. It seems that this fixes the issue for many people.
