Game runs flawlessly. I would however absolutely recommend modding it with Dorhud, which also works flawlessly.

Works fine. DorHud works too

Tinker Steps:Other

Using DorHud mod

Control Layout:Switch To Gamepad

If you like dorhud I recommend you to use it, since it adds native controller support. That's the "tinker" thing I've done
