I began playing Tunic on Game Pass PC last night using my desktop. Thinking the keyboard shortcuts were odd, I switched to my Xbox controller since it feels more natural for that kind of game. It’s fun overall and there are no problems. Recently I sat down with my laptop (the same Dell Alienware model mentioned earlier), and connected the controller in the same way as before. I downloaded Tunic, loaded my save file, and started the game. My first move was checking the inventory by pressing LB—but nothing happened. I repeated it, still getting no response. Then I tried moving the fox, but the whole system froze. Pressing the big X to open the game bar resolved the issue. If I clicked around in the menu and pressed again to restore control, the controller worked again. However, pressing LB, the menu, or back buttons locked everything and stopped the game. The problem seems to appear only with certain button presses. I’ve tested Doom 1993 too; the full controller functions there. It looks like Tunic is affecting this Dell laptop specifically. All updates are current, Bluetooth works fine, and everything seems normal except for this controller issue. What should I do?
Certain games need extra DLL files for controllers, possibly because they weren’t included with the game. If you purchased Forza Horizon 3 from the MS Store, it didn’t register your controller without using a specific software. You can visit https://www.x360ce.com/ and follow their installation instructions.
The issue started when you wanted the program to launch automatically, but it failed to appear on your desktop. The controller functions during gameplay, yet it becomes unresponsive when you press the LB or back-select buttons. You're looking for a direct solution, not a temporary fix.
As discussed, if the problem lies with the game itself, it requires an extra DLL for the controller. The GAME isn't designed for desktop use. You should be aware that this software will generate the necessary DLL file. I provided a solution; you now decide whether it's a permanent fix or a temporary workaround. Good luck!
I noticed the link you shared appears to point to a questionable site, not a legitimate DLL file.
