Ever since the UI Update the games Native Joypad support and functions have been removed without any notice or acknowledgement.
A lot of people use this for playing the game with a controller and if you use the Nexon Launcher you now have no Joypad capabilities at all.
Please bring this back.

    They didn't even remove them correctly. The game still detects analog input but you can't actually set the hotkeys.
    They screwed both people who roll their own third party solution and the people that used first party.
    If you're going to remove it, remove it completely, if you're going to keep it, for the love of god add an option to turn it off.

    Edit: I would like to add that the controller support should be removed in the state it exists in.
    If your controller disconnects at any point during the program you can't reconnect it, you have to relaunch the game.
    It's not always possible to do this so the controller support might as well not even exist.
    If they're going to bring it back, overhaul it so that it's actually useful and not something that barely functions.

    If you're going to play the game with a controller, I highly recommend Antimicro or AntimicroX depending on your setup.
    I have never had any issues with it and have been using it on this game for 10 years now.
    If Nexon had any issues with it I would have been banned a long time ago.
    Just don't use the macro functionality and you should be fine.
