Verified source documentation for Hades: specific troubleshooting constraints and the fixes described by its developers.

Documented workaround

Support: an additional controller does not provide input

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The publisher says Hades reads the controller in slot one and does not accept input from additional controllers. Its support sequence includes disconnecting unused controllers and reconnecting the primary controller. This does not establish support for multiple simultaneous local players. [2]

Documented steps

  1. Disconnect unused controllers, then reconnect the primary controller and retry. [2]
Documented workaround

Support: progress fails to save

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Supergiant says antivirus software can interfere with saving, especially when the game displays Unable to Save or Unable to Read Data. [2]

OneDrive and Google Drive synchronization can also interfere with saving. [2]

Its Windows alternative-save option changes the default folder without automatically moving old saves. Preserve the distinction between a new folder and missing progress; manually copied existing saves are a separate action. [2]

Limits & applicability

  • The alternate-save-mount instruction is Windows-specific in the publisher’s guide. [2]

February 2022: missing DualSense button images

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The February 2022 PC patch fixes DualSense controller-button images not appearing as expected. It also adds Steam Deck button images and improves detection across common controller types. These are historical display fixes, not a claim that every controller connection problem is solved. [1]

February 2022: sidebar positioning at 3840×1600

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same patch fixes ultrawide sidebar-art positioning specifically at 3840 by 1600, and a rare interaction between Steam Overlay and Vulkan rendering. The resolution and renderer are useful distinctions when comparing a report against these published fixes. [1]

The Overlay correction is separately scoped to Vulkan rendering. [1]
