How to play V Rising with a controller
All you need is to have Steam open, the game closed, and open this controller setup for V Rising:
steam://controllerconfig/1604030/2811536913
When it opens in a Steam window, you can click on Apply settings and try the game with this new system. If the Apply Settings button does not appear, make sure you have closed the game or run the process through Big Picture mode. Beyond that, the process is the most simple and fast.
Have the configuration diagram that you will see below well at hand to know how to play v rising with controller and be able to perform all the actions that you used to do with the mouse and keyboard. It’s hard to get the hang of it, but it works really well.
