Darksiders II

If you want to get Darksiders II working with your Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action Gamepad, you just have to...

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/343322681/xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar

or

http://xinput.googlecode.com/files/xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar

Extract the files :

dinput8.dll
xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll
XInputTest.exe

and copy them into the installed game folder :

\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Darksiders II\

If you cannot locate the folder, try to search for :

Darksiders2.exe


Not exactly my kind of game, but I will give it a go... If you liked the previous version, you might enjoy this one... At least it's playable with a Game Pad after applying this fix...

  1. Hi there,
    sadly, I do not seem to be able to get this one working with the steam version of Darksiders II.

    How ever, I found an emulator, that works almost fine:
    http://rumblepad2.blogspot.de/2009/09/xbox-360-controller-emulator-vibmod.html

    The only problem I just encountered with this one is, that I seem not to be able to enter the "aim mode" which is absolutely necessary to solve a lot of the puzzles.

  2. I have the same Problem as the one above me (Dual Action Gamepad). However the Emulator in his Link doesn't work for me.

    I think the Probelm here is Steam. Is there any way to get this one or another Emulator running with Steam?

    1. Okay I found an emulator that works with the Steamversion properly. So now I'm answering my own question.

      Link:
      http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/detail?name=x360ce.App-2.0.2.158.zip&can=2&q=

      1. Put the x360ce.exe in your Darksiders 2 folder (\Steam\SteamApps\common\Darksiders 2).

      2. Run the x360ce.exe, let it recognize your gamepad and download the presettings for it. It will ask you at one point to create some files (I think it were the x360ce.ini and the xinput1_3.dll) click yes.

      3. Deaktivate the Logitech Game Profiler, it seems to somehow interfere with the Emulator

      4. Start Steam and Darksiders 2 ==> Enjoy.

      The only problem left is, that you can't change the key settings on the gamepad and to top it you can't even look at them. Only the attack combos are visible.

      To enter the aim mode you have to press the right stick.

  3. Hi,

    I 'm the first one. Again. Uhm. Seems like all I missed was, that one can actually "press" the sticks. Didn't notice that before in any game.
    So the link I provided works just fine aswell. For Aim-Mode one has to press the right stick. Just as you said.

    Have fun and thank you Mr Anonymous No.2 :)

    Bye

    1. Anonymous No. 2 here:

      Since you can't look at the key bindings of the gamepad I watched a walkthrough from when you first had to use the aim mode and looked at the hint from the game. I had to search for a while untill I found the right one but it worked. ;-)

    3. Re Sleeping Dogs (Dual Action)
      use the exact same files for Darksiders2 (vib mod 3.0)

      add all of the files:-

      dinput8.dll
      xbox360cemu.ini
      xinput1_3.dll
      xinput9_1_0.dll
      XInputTest.exe

      to the same folder as "HKShip.exe"

      something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Sleeping Dogs or where ever the game is installed.

      All seems fine for me.

  5. SLEEPING DOGS
