Common Issues

Change "Debug" to "Release" in the dropdown menu on the build toolbar, then build Smash Soda again.

I cannot connect gamepads in Smash Soda

You may not have ViGEmBus installed. Install this and restart your PC: https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus/releases/download/v1.22.0/ViGEmBus_1.22.0_x64_x86_arm64.exe

When trying to clone or pull updates, I get "Git" related errors:

Known Issues

• Smash Soda's implementation of ViGEmBus is a bit finnicky, and can sometimes cause the PC to crash. Sometimes when trying to grab the index of a virtual xbox gamepad, you might get a blue screen of death (which is why auto indexing is off by default in settings widget). Another thing is, quickly adding and removing DualShock controllers repeatedly in quick succession can also result in a crash.
