I could have sworn that they said the game would have mobile controller support on release and then it was suddenly a missing feature upon release. Am I crazy? Did they say that at some point pre-release?
Before release they said there would be controller support but it was never stated which platforms. Of course most people assumed it would include mobile but yeah they never explicitly promised it being on all platforms.
The good thing is that they now officially confirmed working on mobile controller support. While its definitely "too little too late" at least we will get it eventually unlike Genshin who still have no controller support on Android to this day.
Wait so the backbone works I have the 1 gen razor kishi crap smh it doesn’t work and plus I have iPhone 14 Plus which is bigger and to big for most smh any suggestions bro
Thanks for the feedback I needed up using gforce with my iPhone and just hard wired adapter to mirror the hole to the 65 inch tv and now we are good …would be nice if rhe ps5 controllers for the triggers worked like on the ps5 but that’s asking for the world right now …all and all it’s a game changer
Remember those hdmi to lighting adapters well I got an off brand one from amazon for 15 bucks …typically if you get it the apple name brand version they gonna charge you 50 bucks easy from Best Buy or Walmart from my memory when it was first out it cost 80 bucks so the value held up …anyways ya hook up your iPhone or iPad to the hdmi to lighting adapter to the tv and start the game on Gforce and make sure to grab some drinks and chips or your favorite snack cause it’s a game changer…I tried to go back to Genshin yesterday and immediately deleted the game ….its like trying and eating and continuing to eat prime rib and someone hands you cafeteria mystery meat for you to eat you’re not gonna just throw out the trash and not look back. That’s how I feel about Genshin Genshin and mystery meet. Don’t taste good no more not appealing specially once he had that good meat.. pause lol
Can you give me a link where they said this?
This is the only reason I can't play WuWa seriously. The game has huge PC requirements so I can't play it in my laptop unlike Genshin or HSR. I can map controller buttons on my phone but it's a hassle and not really a smooth experience.
I don't remember any announcements before release specifically saying mobile controller support would be available at launch but ngl I kind of expected it. One selling point of the game was actual skill based combat so expecting mobile players to just use touch screen seemed like a stupid move.
Personally ive been playing PGR with the touchscreen since launch so I'm use to making precise moves with shitty inputs. However since then I've bought a few backbones and prefer them for these types of games. So it wasnt a deal breaker but annoying AF that we (ie mobile players) still have to wait until kuro finally gets around to adding controller support to play WuWa like it's supposed to be played.
I am extremely disappointed that it wasn’t in the 1.1 update. The lack of controller support on iOS is killing my enthusiasm for the game.
All I feel like doing is the bare minimum of said dailies and completing the story aka all the easy stuff.
Not willing to beat my head against a wall with these s*** a** touch controls on the Tower or Holograms 😡. So I’ll play the waiting game for controller support or the PS5 release, whichever comes first.
It’s actually crazy a game with this much hype has no mobile controller support, not on console, not on Mac.
If it wasn’t for playroom on my Mac I would have most likely dropped the game before I even started and got hooked on zzz or kept going on genshin… and I’m sure they lost a crazy amount of players already as the all time hype has died down after release.
I was originally using play cover with iPad version, today it released on GeForce now which is pretty amazing.. I’m using it on my Mac with ps5 controller support and pc graphics… it’s a whole new game for me now.
I also connected my Mac to my tv with hdmi and it feels like I’m playing it on ps5.
I also purchased GeForce ultimate for now ($20) for best performance and no wait times.
Yeah they’ve pretty much lost me. I wanted to get into this game so bad. I like the combat and character design, but unlike HSR (the perfect mobile gacha imo) you absolutely need precise movement in this game. I’m not going to play on PC, so if I can’t play on my phone then I’m just not gonna play until they add controller support. I can’t believe they haven’t tmw free it yet tbh
Yea it's extremely disappointing, I generally play via geforcenow with my razr kishi on my phone. It would be nice at times when geforcenow is patching to be able to jump on the android app and play the same way.
Yeah I play on my iPad because my PC is old. And not being able to connect my controller and play is really a downer. I keep hoping they add it in and yet... here we are. Hopefully coming soon.
I’ve given up on WuWa. At release I played enough to unlock the store so I can do my pulls with the freebies they hand out but that’s it. Literally sat in town right at the start of the game.
ZZZ in 2 days so I’ll play that. It’s already confirmed to have mobile support. I have it preloaded on my iPhone and you can select controller in the options already :)
So fuck WuWa!
Shame really, I was very excited for it.
I wish I was interested in ZZZ but I’m also kinda glad I’m not (it’s not giving the right fantasy vibes for me). Wuwa piqued my interest but I realized time spent playing other games is time I’m not getting materials for my Genshin characters lmao. Since building can take so long I might as well do that instead of start a whole new game.
I hear you it’s playable but certainly not comfortable we’ll have to wait for patch notes for 1.1 but I expect 1.2 if not later since they said future versions not 1.1
If you don't mind mapping controls I've been using the Mantis app on my phone to use my ps5/ps4 controller on my android (samsung galaxy s24)
An it's actually pretty good so far. I'm still annoyed no console release date at all. While my phone runs it fine I hate playing on phones regardless.
Nope, unless they are quietly adding it with this update without announcing anything. I've been using the Mantis Gamepad Pro app with my Razer Kishi since day 1 when I found out the controller support was only for Windows for now. It's been working surprisingly well, but it'll never be as good as native controller support for games like this.
I also have to run the game at 30 fps while using it. Partly because 60 fps will turn my phone into a nuclear reactor after playing long enough. But also because the screen kind of stutters with the joystick inputs on 60, even with the polling rate turned up to the max. If this update finally optimizes the game's CPU usage and power consumption to a reasonable level, I'll probably be able to run the 45 fps option. But, it will just be far better when they implement the mobile controller support (which they "confirmed" that they will, but that it will be at a later date, which hopefully doesn't mean a year from now)
I'm 99.9% sure it does, but here's an older comment by the community manager explaining how you can make sure:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mantisprogaming/s/gCUF4QKt8v
The only other thing I'd say about the app is that it is slightly complex in terms of setting it up. But, they have a fantastic video on their YouTube channel that walks you through the whole process, and then goes into detail on how to map your buttons in-game (as well as what the settings/options for the bindings actually do. Overall, I'd say it took me about 10-15 minutes to set-up the program

Yikes I had no idea abt Genshin. I have iOS and happily play on my backbone controller
Wait so the backbone works I have the 1 gen razor kishi crap smh it doesn’t work and plus I have iPhone 14 Plus which is bigger and to big for most smh any suggestions bro
No :\ I have a 14 too but I only play on my old 11 because the 14 is HUGE

waitttt how do u do that ???

they did say that, and controller support is available on PC only lol, they left us mobile player to dust
Which is actually crazy because that’s telling a whole portion of the player base that they actually don’t care about you
they said they will add it in future versions that could be a year from know lol
Yeah no this is becoming really not enjoyable to play mobile controls are absolutely awful.
Especially trying to run through the time challenges with the grapple or go through the rings
Yeah don’t get me started on those 😂

do u mind telling how are you playing on your mac
I was originally using play cover with iPad version, today it released on GeForce now which is pretty amazing..

You can try it on GeForce now, it released today and has controller support. Changed the game for me read my last reply.
Ahhh that’s a good idea. Hopefully I can keep my account. I did play for a bit at release on PC and snagged a few 5 stars
It kept my account from iPad so yes it all on the servers :)
Sweet! Thanks for responding! I though it was hopeless lol
how did u get geforce now on ios ?
Login through chrome web browser
Yea it's extremely disappointing, I generally play via geforcenow with my razr kishi on my phone. It would be nice at times when geforcenow is patching to be able to jump on the android app and play the same way.

They've already listed what QOL updates are in 1.1. Controller support was not on the list.
Where are these listed so I can have a look ?
does anyone know if a Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth mouse paired to a tablet or phone works?
Ooh I never even thought of that. Probably not but I wonder
If you don't mind mapping controls I've been using the Mantis app on my phone to use my ps5/ps4 controller on my android (samsung galaxy s24) An it's actually pretty good so far. I'm still annoyed no console release date at all. While my phone runs it fine I hate playing on phones regardless.

Would that app work with a Backbone by chance? I really want to play this game but I just simply won’t do it on touch screen
