Developed by Ashborne Games and published by THQ Nordic, the title is designed around complex menus, intricate economic sliders, and precise cursor movements. Because the game is currently navigating its Early Access phase, the developers have prioritized core mechanics\u2014such as the massive 12-player multiplayer sessions\u2014over native, plug-and-play gamepad support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">When you attempt to use a controller, the game engine is still looking for a traditional mouse and keyboard input. Steam Input is designed to bridge this gap by translating your analog stick movements and button presses into keystrokes and mouse clicks. However, when Steam Input fails to hook into the game&#8217;s executable properly, you are left with unresponsive controls. Understanding that you are essentially &#8220;tricking&#8221; the game into thinking your controller is a mouse is the first step to resolving these frustrating dead zones.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-by-step-steam-input-troubleshooting\" style=\"color: #00e5ff; border-bottom: 1px solid #1f2937; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 40px; font-size: 24px;\">Step-by-Step Steam Input Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Since no official fix has been confirmed yet, you must rely on Steam&#8217;s robust backend to force compatibility. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the most effective community-tested methods for resolving Steam Input failures.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #ffffff; margin-top: 30px; font-size: 20px;\">Forcing Steam Input Overrides<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Sometimes, Steam&#8217;s global controller settings conflict with the individual game settings. You need to explicitly tell Steam to handle the inputs for this specific title.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"color: #e5e7eb; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Open your Steam client and navigate to your <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Library<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Locate <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1420<\/strong> in your list of games.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Right-click the title and select <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Properties<\/strong> from the context menu.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">On the left-hand sidebar, click on <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Controller<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Look for the &#8220;Override for The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1420&#8221; section.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Change the drop-down setting from &#8220;Use default settings&#8221; to <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Enable Steam Input<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">If you are using a PlayStation DualSense or DualShock 4 controller, ensure that PlayStation Configuration Support is checked in your main Steam Controller settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">By forcing this override, Steam injects its input wrapper directly into the game, bypassing the game&#8217;s lack of native gamepad detection.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #ffffff; margin-top: 30px; font-size: 20px;\">Configuring Mouse-to-Joystick Emulation<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Because this strategy game relies heavily on clicking UI elements, a standard controller layout will not work out of the box. You must map your mouse cursor to your analog sticks.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"color: #e5e7eb; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Boot Steam into <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Big Picture Mode<\/strong> (the monitor icon in the top right corner of the Steam client).<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Navigate to your library and select The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1420.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Select the <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">controller icon<\/strong> to open the Controller Configuration menu.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Click on the current layout to modify it.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Select your <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Right Joystick<\/strong> and change its Input Style to <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Joystick Mouse<\/strong> or <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Mouse Region<\/strong>. This will allow your right stick to control the on-screen cursor.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Map the <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Right Trigger (RT\/R2)<\/strong> to <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Left Mouse Click<\/strong> (for selecting items and confirming actions).<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Map the <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Left Trigger (LT\/L2)<\/strong> to <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Right Mouse Click<\/strong> (for canceling actions or opening context menus).<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Map the D-Pad or Face Buttons to essential keyboard shortcuts, such as pausing the game, opening the inventory, or accessing the trade ledger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">If you do not want to build this layout from scratch, press &#8220;X&#8221; (or Square) in the configuration menu to browse <strong style=\"color: #fbbf24;\">Community Layouts<\/strong>. Other players often upload their custom mappings, saving you the hassle of manual configuration.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #ffffff; margin-top: 30px; font-size: 20px;\">Disabling Conflicting Overlays and Peripherals<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">A common edge case involves conflicting software. If you have racing wheels, flight sticks, or multiple controllers plugged in, the game engine might prioritize the wrong device. Unplug all unnecessary USB peripherals before launching the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Additionally, third-party software like DS4Windows, reWASD, or even overlay programs like Discord and RivaTuner can intercept the controller signal before it reaches Steam. If you are using DS4Windows, you must either close it completely and rely solely on Steam Input, or use the &#8220;Hide DS4 Controller&#8221; option within DS4Windows to prevent the infamous &#8220;double input&#8221; glitch where the PC registers two controllers simultaneously.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"navigating-multiplayer-lobbies-with-a-gamepad\" style=\"color: #00e5ff; border-bottom: 1px solid #1f2937; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 40px; font-size: 24px;\">Navigating Multiplayer Lobbies with a Gamepad<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2977260\/The_Guild_1_Remake_Europa_1410\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410<\/a> features an ambitious multiplayer mode planned for Early Access, allowing up to 12 players to compete, collaborate, and backstab their way to the top. When you are harassing your friends with cart ambushes, dragging them to court, or challenging them to duels, input latency and controller reliability become critical.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">If your controller disconnects during a tense multiplayer session, Steam Input can sometimes fail to re-hook into the game upon reconnection. To mitigate this, always ensure your controller is connected via a wired USB cable rather than Bluetooth when playing online. Bluetooth polling rates can fluctuate, causing Steam Input to drop the custom mouse-emulation profile momentarily, leaving you defenseless during a critical court trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Once you have your controller fully optimized and your analog sticks are smoothly gliding across the screen, you will want to put those precise inputs to good use.

As a PC strategy game currently in Early Access, the UI is built entirely for mouse and keyboard.

Because no official fix has been confirmed yet by Ashborne Games, your best path forward is mastering Steam Input. By forcing the Steam overlay, mapping your analog sticks to emulate a mouse, and utilizing community layouts, you can successfully manage your medieval empire from your couch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">However, if you find the technical troubleshooting and the slow early-game grind too tedious, remember that you do not have to play by the rules.
