Which controller problems Hotfix #2 addresses
A controller failure in a menu can stop a run even when movement still works. Airport Contraband's October 29 Hotfix #2 specifically fixes controller issues in the Path Select and Task Selection widgets. It also adjusts crane control bindings for both controllers and keyboards.
If your problem occurs in one of those areas, check that the installed game includes that update before comparing its behavior with an older guide or playthrough. These are documented fixes for particular interactions, not evidence that every controller model and input configuration is fully supported.
Match your symptom to the update
The official Hotfix #2 notes identify three relevant areas:
| Where input fails | What the update documents |
|---|---|
| Path Select | Controller interaction fixes in that widget |
| Task Selection | Controller interaction fixes in that widget |
| Crane operation | Revised bindings for keyboard and controller |
Separate these cases when describing your issue. Being unable to choose a path is different from being able to use menus but having trouble moving the crane.
Older crane instructions may describe a different set of bindings. Use the control prompts shown by your installed version when testing crane input rather than assuming a prerelease button list still applies after the adjustment.
If your controller still does not work
The Steam listing describes partial controller support and names Xbox controllers. That listing should not be read as a promise that every input device, every menu, or every configuration behaves identically.
If the symptom remains after the documented update, record the part of the game that fails and the controller you are using. A useful report distinguishes between an unresponsive Path Select widget, Task Selection trouble, crane-only input, and a problem affecting the entire game.
The patch notes also point players to the in-game bug-reporting tool. Use it to describe a remaining issue when you can reach it. The notes do not establish a universal Steam Input setting, driver reinstall, or device-specific workaround, so none of those should be presented as a confirmed Airport Contraband fix on this evidence alone.
FAQ
Did Hotfix #2 fix controller support everywhere?
The notes name Path Select and Task Selection widgets and revised crane bindings. They do not claim to resolve every controller issue.
Why do older crane controls differ from my game?
Hotfix #2 adjusted crane bindings for both keyboard and controller. An older demonstration can therefore show different controls.
Is complete controller support promised on Steam?
The collected Steam listing shows partial controller support and lists Xbox controllers. That is a narrower statement than full support for every device and interaction.
