Battlefield 3

Since there is no "real" pad support for battlefield 3, you may still get your logitech rumblepad 2 or dual action gamepad working by doing the following...

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/422778312/x360ce.vibmod.3.1.4.1.rar

or

http://xinput.googlecode.com/files/x360ce.vibmod.3.1.4.1.rar

Extract the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe


Into the following directory (where you find the bf3.exe) :

\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\

Then :

make a copy of file : xinput1_3.dll
and name it : xinput9_1_0.dll

At first I could not even get the game going on my machine, but after some digging around I got it going... now not every action is possible using the gamepad. Hopefully there will be updates to get it all working as it should with the proper icons show for actions... This game deserves good gamepad support on the PC!!!

If you still have problems, you might need to :

1. Find out the name of your gamepad in the control panel (Game Controllers), for me it was "Logitech RumblePad 2 USB".
2. Open Regedit, hit CTRL-F and type the name of your gamepad. It should find something like :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C218
OEMName REG_SZ Logitech RumblePad 2 USB

3. Select Modify and enter "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows" (without the ").

You may also check that the VID & PID is matching your gamepad in the x360ce.ini file.

The PID & VID should be found as above in the KEY.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C218
OEMName REG_SZ Logitech RumblePad 2 USB

VID=0x046D #controller VID
PID=0xC216 #controller PID

Hope you get the pad working, still some game actions will require the keyboard / mouse.

Dragon Age II

Dragon Age II looks a great deal nicer with more action than the first one. Unfortunate for us Bioware PC has not yet learned that we PC gamers nowdays would like to have the option to play with our gamepad, just the sameway or PS3 and XBOX 360 friends do. So we may boast about how much more detailed and more amazing our PC's gameplay are compared to their setups. Anyway it's just to get mapping with the xpadder to get the full pad experience for this game .

you can download the software here...

http://rapidshare.com/files/270501316/Xpadder__Seven_.rar

This is a game for mature teens and adults, keep it away from your kids. The language used is not very nice, and the blood and brutality is all over. I'm not a extreme first-person game fan, but this game do have it's highlights, it's very story driven, and once you start you kind of want to see it to the end... Now enjoy it with your pad...

Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor, kind of supports game pads, but without adding the xbox 360 support you'll get a wierd kind of controller feeling, probably as the Logitech Rumblepad 2 and Dual Action game pads wont work 100%.

So I recommend you to download and copy the following files into the installed directory.

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

is set.

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight

This game is without gamepad support, so you have to use xpadder if you want to game with your pad. I did configure mine, and was able to play the game all to the end without any problems, just map the important keys, and off you go...

Being a past fan of Command & Conquer, I enjoyed the game, as well as some newcomers to this game might do. For multiplayer battle I asume keyboard / mouse might be the better option, as joypad do slow down the reaction time for this kind of game.

But if your not into these type of games, you might just leave this one alone, it's not your typical console game experience. It's fun while it lasts, takes around 2 days of playing to complete all the missions, after that it's not really interesting anymore, for single-players.

The Saboteur

It seems to work fine with the xbox360 joypad emulator, but the game it self wont run on my setup, like for so many others, hopefully EA will have a patch out for it asap...

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/318950698/x360ce_vibmod_3.1.4.0.rar

And copy the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the directory

\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Saboteur\

(x360ce.ini in the pack is moded to work with a logitech rumblepad 2, check the Index=0 (controller index in system game controllers list)).

Dragon Age: Origins

There is no joypad support for this game, and the only way to get it, is if you try and map it is with xpadder.

If anyone done a good config, please post the link for it.

Please developers out there, JOYPAD support for the games, please. Let the end consumer choose if they want to play mouse/keybord or with a pad.

FIFA 10

I did have great expectations on FIFA 10, 1st being a great fan of Electronic Arts sports stuff, 2nd it is 2010, not 2000. With that in mind you would think NextGen is here, and this should not be a poor PS2 port. But EA manages to disapoint big time. The PC version totaly sucks. How come you got these poor standards, today people who game on PC do it with todays hardware, not on their old office machine from the year 2000. Get with the program guys.

It work poorly with a rumblepad 2, meaning the controls are basically crap, and non logic when using the menu system. Once again you should simply follow the xbox360 standards, don't try your own stuff EA Sports.

This is one of the worst games for being such a big title like FIFA 10. It should be up there in the elite league of games with Batman, Resident Evil, Need for Speed.

I'll be lucky if I can pas this one of to somebody as a second hand game for a descent buck, but I would feel bad for the poor fellow, it's not even worth the CD it's printed on.

Crysis

This is a great game. Put the files in the :

Electronic Arts/Crytek/Crysis/Bin32/

xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll

And it works fine just like crysis warhead.
