Confirmed working

  • BAR launches with the modified Recoil 2025.06.19-compatible engine.
  • Temporary BAR common/constants.lua version shim is still required for local testing.
  • Spring.GetAvailableControllers() exists and returns a controller.
  • Spring.GetControllerState(instanceId) exists and returns live controller state.
  • Xbox controller is detected as Controller (Xbox One For Windows).
  • Axis motion events are received in the engine.
  • Button down/up events are received in the engine.
  • Controller Diagnostics widget displays live controller state.
