Hi, I 'm not able to get my xbox controller to work on a macbook for They Bleed Pixels. Any advice? 

I can use the controller with other games both on itch (Tunic) and other stores (GOG->Dead Cells). For Dead Cells I remember I had to download an updated lib for the controller to work. Maybe there is something similar I can do for They Bleed Pixels?

Please try replacing the file I mention in this recent post.

If you could let me know if that works for you and what generation of Xbox controller you're using that would be really helpful. 

Hope that fixes the issue for you! 

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Changing the file didn't help. But I did get the controller to work by switching to bluetooth. It seems plugging in the controller with USB-C is the issue. I can use the controller with a cable on Tunic without a problem but not with They Bleed Pixels. Maybe its another weird Mac thing. 

I have a standard Xbox Wireless Controller.  https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller

Thanks for letting me know! Yeah this seems to be combination of the newer Xbox controllers being a bit weird and a Mac thing. I've made a note of it though!
