In this tutorial you will find steps to make x360ce work with Life is Strange. This method also works with any game - just do the same easy steps, no special skills needed to make any controller work as an Xbox 360 gamepad. Emulator allows your controller (joystick, wheel, gamepad, etc.) to operate as the most common device, recognized by most of the games without any additional settings and workarounds.

1. The first step is to download x360ce zip file from official site. You have to select 32 or 64 bit version (same as the version of Life is Strange you use). If you don’t know the version of your game or download wrong one accidentally, you will be notified later and have a chance to use another version.

2. Now we have to find the installation folder of your game... You can easily do this by looking into game shortcut settings or finding the game in your Steam library list. If you choose the Steam variant, right click the game name and select “Properties”.

3. Navigate to "Local files" tab and press "Browse local files ..." button.

4. Now you need to find the folder with Life is Strange executable... In the example picture they are located in Binaries / Retail subfolder. You need to extract downloaded x360ce ZIP file to folder with your game executable file.

5. Click on x360ce exe file with the right mouse button and select "Run as administrator" from dropdown menu.

6. You will see window with warning - “xinput 1_3.dll was not found. This file is required for emulator to function properly. ” Don’t worry, just click "Create" button to make them appear.

7. When x360ce will inform you that new device was detected, use automatic search for settings from internet - just hit “Next” button.

8. Click "Finish", when installation completed.

9. Hit the "Auto" button to make all settings set to defaults. Confirm changes by clicking “Yes” in popup window. All the buttons will be filled automatically.

10. Now just hit "Save" button to make all your settings saved. You can also change buttons assignment before hitting “Save”, if you like.

Now you can normally launch Life is Strange and use your controller with x360ce emulator - it will be starting automatically with each game launch.

Man does not live by joy alone. Many games settle in our soul for a long time precisely because after long hours of fun, dynamic battles, feats, accomplishments and achievements, we suddenly stop and throw our heads back so that uninvited tears flow back.

We decided to recall games that will touch anyone for a living and will cause tears in the eyes not only of gentle girls, but also of harsh men.

This is the story of Ori, a strange four-eared creation, twice orphaned. This is a story about a bear-like creature Naru, starving to death in order for Ori to survive - such a manifestation of maternal feelings for someone else's child will squeeze our chest just a few minutes after the start of the game. This is a story about a Spirit Tree that kills its wards so that the entire magical forest has a chance to survive. This is a story about an enemy who is also a victim.

And not only about that. This is a poignant and touching tale of loneliness. About how everything that is important disappears and dies before our eyes, and all that remains is to go forward in the hope that, if not return what was lost, then at least keep the surviving one.

And this story will be told to us without long spectacular cinematic clips. The atmosphere of the death of the beautiful old times here pervades everything and is preserved against the background of Ori's dexterous jumps and the spectacular fights of his spirit guide, Sein. Even the meticulously hand-drawn backgrounds are permeated with dying grief. And even at the end, when good (spoiler!) Triumphs, we will not be left with the memory of those who can no longer enjoy the peace and security, for the sake of whose return they died.

A game Orient and the blind forest knows how to get to the most hidden corners of the soul, long ago hidden under the hard crust of experience and disappointment.

When everything is in order with the world and its inhabitants are happy.

And we have a New Year's amusement park on our website "World of Windows Store"!

The Walking Dead: The Game

Another dying world has come to us a long way: from a TV series based on comics, inspired by a very, very old low-budget film, to shoot which the director was inspired by a novel where in fact there are no zombies ...

Over the past decades and seasons, the zombie apocalypse genre seemed to have been explored far and wide, we know more about the risen dead than about our neighbors on the staircase, and even the army of the channel's scriptwriters AMC it's getting harder and harder to come up with something that would touch the quick.

And here is the studio Telltale Games managed to find a way to reach us. She simply shifted the responsibility for the fate of the heroes onto our shoulders. In this pragmatic and dangerous world, the most insignificant actions can determine whether this confused woman, this rude man, and most importantly, these children, who are so difficult to take care of, when their own life hangs in the balance, can live or die.

And after all, we understand that the fork in solutions is not very wide and in some cases everything will end as it should, no matter what we do. But the moral choices that constantly arise before us lead to the fact that in the most tragic moments streamers turned off their microphones so that the audience did not hear their sobs.

It's easy to understand that you have to be afraid of zombies. But how do you know whether to trust people?

This War Of Mine and This War of Mine: The Little Ones

And another story about how to survive if the world doesn't care about you. AT This War Of Mine invented heroes act in a fictitious place, at an indefinite time and in imaginary circumstances: here's your home, here's a war for you. Live to see victory.

At the same time, in the local simple mechanics, it is not at all difficult to carry out the occupation in a fun, satisfying and warm atmosphere. You just need to turn the game into an Excel simulator: keep a careful record of the contents of the caches, calculate and plan each sortie, and consult numerous guides. Surely in real life there are people who, at the first alarm signal, grab a backpack assembled in advance, throw a greased crossbow on their shoulder and go to a shelter equipped with everything necessary.

But if you play badly and ineptly, then the whole idea of \u200b\u200bthe authors of the game is revealed. When you have to decide to whom to give the freshly made soup - to the one who is now going to storm the supermarket, or to the one who no longer complains about anything due to weakness. When a weak old man asks not to take his supplies, because he cannot get new ones. And the worst thing is when people simply refuse to try to survive; exhausted by the constant stress, they just lie down and die.

In war, people die not only from bullets, but also from lack of medicine, dirty water, hunger and cold.

BioShock Infinite

It's hard to find a player who has never heard of BioShock Infinite; Of all the games we have chosen, this is the largest and most famous. We have repeatedly written about it, in general and about particulars, analyzed the plot by gears and enjoyed the game music.

Those who let themselves be pulled into the merciless millstones of a puzzling plot have probably already remembered the most heartbreaking moments. And those who managed to escape ... well, we still want to get caught for them and therefore we will not disclose details.

Let's just note one thing: many said that after the final scene of BioShock Infinite, all other games began to seem insipid and boring to them - as after a bright flash, an ordinary light bulb looks like a dim candle. And this is another reason for tears: that you cannot erase your memory and go back to Colombia for the first time.

Elizabeth is not only an interesting and controversial character, but also one of the best playmates.

Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons

Nai and Naya had already lost their mother, and now their father was seriously ill. To save him, you need to go far, far, to get water from the Tree of Life. The older brother is strong, the younger one is agile. The younger brother is afraid to swim, and the older ...

This fabulous walk along magical lands turns out to be not at all what we initially assumed. Every now and then the fabric of fiction breaks through and through it peeps through the real, adult life, in which you have to answer for your actions. At least in front of himself.

An uncomplicated adventure turns out to be a deep funnel: the game is not only beautiful and touching, but also dark and tragic, and it tells its story almost without a single word. But it is already impossible to escape. Run, brother, run!

A kind troll will help brothers. However, not everyone you meet will be kind.

Braid

2D platform puzzle Braid, with undemanding graphics, not particularly complicated mechanics and primitive one-faced characters, turned out to be one of the most mature, complex and meaningful games of our time. However, what is the meaning, what are we talking about ... By meanings, not by meaning, and there are so many of these meanings in this game that it will be enough for several large role-playing projects.

It all starts simply: here is Tim, he is looking for the Princess. He jumps on platforms and plays with time. He is killing some sad creatures. And then suddenly the page turns over and the text appears.

« Like a ghost, she stood in front of him, looking into his eyes. “I'm here,” she said. - I'm here. I want to touch you! " She begged: "Look at me!" But he would not have seen her; he could only look at the outside of things».

In this story, woven into a tight braid of texts and actions, objects and allusions, you can read many stories - from the sad story of unfulfilled love to the torment of the inventor of the atomic bomb. From the eternal problems of fathers and children to the complexity of forgiveness. This game will have something to say to anyone who is ready to listen - and in its own words it will strike to the very heart.

Sorry Tim, princess in another castle. If it even exists.

Life is Strange

Ah, student years - wonderful, with friendship, with a book, with a song. Studentship is like an advanced childhood: it is still a carefree time, but so much of what is allowed only for adults has already been discovered. This shaky line between childhood and adulthood is very accurately captured by the creators of the game. Life is Strange.

Sweet Maxine, or simply Max, who walks everywhere with a camera and constantly takes squirrels and selfies, gets a strange power over time. Why and how to use it? Maybe just “have fun”, as Chloe's restless friend insists? Unfortunately no. With every step, the world and events around them become more complicated and dangerous, and more and more often one has to choose not between “good” and “not so good”, but between “bad” and “seemingly not so bad”.

It also becomes more difficult to choose because we gradually learn new things about all the characters. And it turns out that all the "villains" are the same ordinary people who are just as sorry for them. And I want to save everyone, but ...

But all this must be experienced on your own skin.

With very simple technical means, the game draws beautiful pictures to wonderful music.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Conditional flat world. Deliberately cartoon figures of characters: tiny legs, bangs up to the nose. Cartoon villains drawn by explosions. Some strange idea: to make a platform puzzle about the First World War.

This is exactly what we think, until the cardboard world begins to tremble under the pressure of the truth. Truth speaks in a low voice, sometimes tries to joke, sometimes surprises with unexpected facts. But her low voice never fades away. And at some point, flat figures become more convincing than photorealistic action heroes. And we just sit, staring at the credits, unable to move, even to wipe away our tears.

This cartoon game is a real museum and monument to the First World War. In it, all documents, certificates, memorable souvenirs and historical facts are sharpened by artistic fiction to the state of a blade that strikes right into the heart. And this wound is not forgotten over time.

Everything is calm in Paris, although the front line is just a stone's throw away. And they go to war from here by taxi.

Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

Check if there were any errors during the installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

    It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode for different versions of Windows.

    First, install fresh drivers on the video card, from this the FPS in the game can significantly increase. Also check the workload of the computer in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that a process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

    Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and turning them off will significantly increase performance without significantly affecting the picture quality.

    Life is Strange: Before the Storm crashes to the desktop

    If Life is Strange: Before the Storm often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics.

    First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the declared amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive. In general, remember the rule - the system disk must always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

    Installation problems can also occur due to the lack of internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus during the installation of the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering it as viruses.

    Controls not working in Life is Strange: Before the Storm

    Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try unplugging your controller or, if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your controller does not work, then remember - officially only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

    Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is muted in the settings of the game itself and if the audio playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected.
