B ) you guys are crazy saying Ginput has a unfair advantage your talking about one small part in the game it's one dupe and controller is slower than KB&M anyways stop crying about that and let it be.
but as i said ginput gives nothing to people who run the game the argument is invalid
Controllers aren't being banned. That is not the discussion.
GInput is a mod. A modification. You are modifying the game, thus not playing an official release. Mods are allowed rarely and for specific reasons. GInput was allowed because "Controllers don't work properly" which is demonstrably false for DirectInput controllers and hoxiu has proven that XInput controllers can be used as well with some work arounds that don't involve mods
The reason for this is because GInput allows you to do things you can't do in the game. Switching aim style without going to the menu is an unfair advantage people with an unmodded game cannot do. This alone should be enough to ban it and I don't see how there is even a discussion about this.
You can argue "but I want to use controller" - use a version of the game that allows you to with tools that allow you to without modding the game. This is not rocket science, it's actually quite logical.
Tried to read every reply and decided to vote for B. I can't see any harm with it, also powdinet's thought is not bad either.
I'm a fan of watching speedruns. You say my vote doesn't count because i just made my account today, or that because i don't play the game and am not on the leaderboard. This isn't highschool, you have no need to act like a queen bee mean girl
Also, you want ginput gone, what about Dinput? This is a mod that fixes mouse issues, but it's not how the game was intended to be played and how it was originally released. it'd effect speedrun times as well so ban it as well as prio too
Change it so the results are skewed in your favour ryedawg, by all means.
EDIT: Nagenowa if the ginput ban goes through don't pussyfoot around, ban dinput at the same time. Kill two birds with one stone
I already asked in Discord, but what I'd like to know is whether or not switching between free aim and autoaim is possible with a controller that is supported. Because if it is then I don't see why we'd ban this but not things like DINPUT8 (which fixes mouse problems in menus etc).
To all the people with literally 2 hour old accounts, let me ask you this:
Imagine you are in your final year in uni, studying to become an engineer. One of your assignments is a research paper about rockets and how they function at high speeds. You start writing your paper, and soon run into a problem. You think you got some equations wrong, but you aren't sure. You decide to ask a bunch of your fellow engineering majors to help you understand if the equation is wrong or not. Suddenly, a first year biology major, with almost no previous engineering knowledge, comes in and starts to give his opinion on the situation. My question is, are you going to listen to the bio major, or all of your engineering partners?
Why should it be? Just so everyone from Hugo's chat can make an account and just post that they're against it because 'hurr durr you wanna ban controllers!!!!!'?
The GTA:SA community has been deteriorating over a long period of time. Many top runners are not currently present on the leaderboard. This issue has not been seriously addressed yet, but an attempt will be made to remedy it now.
As of this news post, the San Andreas leaderboard will function in
