How to set up Xbox 360 Controller with Pinnacle Game Profiler

[d0pesen 17]

hello survivers,

 

for all those who like to play DayZ SA with a controller, i have tried to figure out the best solution for the Xbox 360 controller with pinnacles game profiler.

 

this program should have a 30 days trial, and if you like it, the few bucks worth it, downloadable here:

 

http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/files/pinnacle-setup.exe

 

after installed, you need to download my DayZ SA profile, here it is:

 

http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/73005730/file.html

 

after downloaded this profile, doubleclick it and you are asked if you want to import this profile into pinnacle:

 

 

select yes and it also should automatically detect your path of DayZ SA:

 

 

If not, you need to set the path manually.

 

after done it, you can click on "okay" (or clicking directly "okay" if your path was founded automatically).

 

you will get this picture:

 

 

click on "import" and you get next this:

 

 

if you see the DayZ Sign then you set everything correct, if not, click on "Edit" while marked "DayZ: D0pesen Profile" and you can set the correct path to Dayz SA executeable once again.

 

next you can click on "Edit Configurations...", you will see this:

 

 

this is the overview of the mapped controlls, feel free to change if you are not satisfy in detail.

 

IMPORTANT: the "left Joystick" need to be unmapped, we will take the native DayZ game configuration for this.

 

i also not mapped the "rightshoulder", i mapped it in Dayz with fast running.

 

you can close this window and only need to start dayz while doubleclick on Dayz Profile:

 

 

Steam and Dayz should start automatically.

 

Now its important in Dayz NOT activate the custom controller, it need to be deactivated, pinnacle game profiler runs in backround and should NOT be activated in controll settings in Dayz. this is important because if we let pinnacle game profiler take control over the left joystick, it sucks more then hell, we use DayZ mechanic for the left Jostick, we have a much much more smoother running and its also analog.

 

so we activate the 360 controller in DayZ settings and unmapp all commands so that only left Joystick is used by Dayz in game mapping, pinnacles game profiler runs in backround and take the rest commands.

 

with this, you also have the mouse controlled cursor on right Joystick of your controller.

 

thats all, if you have questions, please ask.

 

important note: this profile based on pinnacles author Errol, which can be find here:

thanks Errol for the good work, i just optimize it a little bit. ;)

would say, it can be more relaxed, sitting on couch, dayz on a beamer, dark light, all controls in two hands. ;)

 

but yes, for more accurate best played with mouse and keyboard, aiming with controller can be a much faster death.

It's a lot more intuitive and precise IMO. Depends on your playstyle though. Some people are just better with a controller than a keyboard/mouse setup.

Personal preference? Jesus, always somebody.

Your logic is flawed.

Your logic is flawed.

Like I said, it's a preference. Some players like myself are just better with a controller. Even if it defies your logic it's still true. ;)
