so i bought and DL RE3 and it seems there is no controller config / button mapping?

if it exists can someone tell me how to acess it?

Sure,

Launch the game; press F1; window will pop up; Keyboard tab for keyboard mappings and Controls tab for controller mappings.

Esc prompts to close the game btw

Cheers

Also, when you are in the control menu, right click on the button you want to change, and than choose from add key or clear.

And be sure to right-click the command you want to map and select Add Key, by the way. Took me a moment to figure that out.

ok thanks everyone who replied. got it figured out. much appreciated!

I can right click and tell it to add a button for the keyboard side but the controller side is blank just dashes for everything and right clicking doesn't bring up the same dropdown list.

Edit: Just decided to use Steam Input and its working great now.
