Fixing Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Controller Issues

To ensure that all controllers work properly in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you need to enable Steam Input. The game only supports Xbox controllers natively.

To do this, follow the steps below:

  • Make sure Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster isn’t running
  • Open Steam and navigate to your library
  • Here, right-click on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and select Properties
  • In the Controller tab, select the Enable Steam Input option under Override Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

After that, all controllers should work normally through the Steam Input layer.

Change Button Prompts in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Once Steam Input is enabled for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you can now switch between different button prompt types.

  • In the Main Menu, select Options
  • Now select Controls, and then change the prompt type by changing the value of Button Icon Type. Type A is Xbox prompts, while Type B is PlayStation Prompts.

This is a nice feature, as it lets users switch to whatever prompt they’re comfortable with regardless of the controller type connected.

Check Detected Controllers

If you still can’t get your controllers to work, make sure Steam is actually detecting the ones you have plugged in. To check detected controllers in the Steam client, simply select Steam Settings Controller:

If you have anything connected, you’ll see those show up here.
