Arcanum Xbox One / XInput Controller Support

Adds Xbox One / XInput controller support for Arcanum with an easier setup path for modern Windows players.

This repository exists for Nexus quarantine review of the public installer package. The Nexus upload includes an EXE because normal users should not have to manually copy controller wrapper files, profiles, and launchers into an Arcanum folder.

What It Supports

• Xbox One / XInput-compatible controllers on Windows.
• A compatibility launcher for Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
• Local installation into a user-selected Arcanum folder that contains Arcanum.exe.

This does not make Arcanum a native controller game. It installs a local controller wrapper, controller profile, and launcher files for the supported setup path.

Install Summary

1. Extract the Nexus ZIP.
2. Run Install-Arcanum-Xbox-One-Controller.exe.
3. Select the Arcanum folder that contains Arcanum.exe.
4. Let the installer copy the controller support files.
5. Use the created Desktop shortcut or run Launch-Arcanum-Controller-XboxOne-Compatibility.bat.

The installer backs up replaced controller-wrapper files under ArcanumControllerBackups in the selected Arcanum folder.
