If you will not find a solution, you should open a ticket on Gog support.

You can launch the game from a terminal and post the log too.

I will put in a ticket. Launching from the terminal doesn't give any good log info Essentially two lines saying "Starting Game"

I hope they could resolve this issue. I'm interesting by an eventual solution, could you post the result here?

Of course! I am working out the ticket with them now. Will post the outcome.

Alright, looks like the issue MIGHT have been the fact that my controller was wireless. By running xboxdrv with the "--mimic-xpad" run option I was able to get the controllers working. The option is supposed to mimic a wired xbox controller input. Things are working now :)

Glad to read it's resolved.
It's the developer or the Gog support wich resolved your issue?

Having the same problem but with the xbox one s controller using Xpad Neo... Any ideas on how to get it to work with Dead Cells?? I tried with xpad mimic but it tells me no xbox controller is available.

Thank you!

Have you tried it wired yet? I'm not terribly familiar with Xpad Neo, but it might conflict with xboxdrv (again, not familiar enough to be sure on that).

I do feel like I might have caused a little confusion. So to clarify, this xboxdrv trick worked for my Xbox360 wireless controller using the xbox360 wireless receiver, and for my 8bitdo controller that is using a usb reciever that gets recognized as a xbox360 wireless controller by Linux.
