📋 About This Mod

Enabling hybrid mouse+gamepad input in-game for playing on a Steam Deck/Steam Controller

Description

The game doesn't support simultaneous mouse and gamepad input by default. It automatically disables the gamepad when you move the mouse or press a keyboard button, and resumes input after the mouse/keyboard interaction ends. The rationale for this decision is unclear, as most modern (and older) games use mixed input. The developers ignored numerous player complaints about this, and playing on a Steam Deck or Steam Controller in stick emulation mode on the trackpad isn't much better than playing with the right stick. Finally, after much effort and using Chat GPS, an injector was written to prevent the game from disabling gamepad input when using a mouse/keyboard, enabling full hybrid input functionality. There's a chance that the game will break after updating, so we need to test it. However, it's not guaranteed that the update will break everything, as the injector isn't tied to specific addresses and works in both Dying Light 2 and Dying Light: The Beast (without modifying the code for a specific game; the logic is the same for both games)
