Vanguard Princess Hotfix – Controller, Steam Deck & Stability Fixes

2026-09-04

Vanguard Princess Hotfix – Controller, Steam Deck & Stability Fixes We’ve prepared a new hotfix based on player reports following the Free Online Update. Fixes include: - Controller input fixed for Xbox 360, Xbox One/Series, XInput, and Steam Input users. - Steam Deck / Proton compatibility improved with an automatic Classic launch path. - Frozen gameplay display fixed by improving the Scaler Host capture system and adding automatic recovery/fallback. - AMD/D3D display recovery added for device-loss and rendering failures. - Pause settings now recover correctly after interrupted or crashed Online Versus sessions. - Improved game-process cleanup and restart handling to reduce stability problems between matches. - Controller fixes apply across all supported Vanguard Princess editions.

We’re continuing to test multiple consecutive matches, Steam Input ON/OFF, Steam Deck, AMD GPUs, and all supported game versions. If you still experience controller, crash, or display issues after the hotfix, please post your controller/GPU model, game version, and the contents of your Logs folder. Thank you to everyone who reported these issues and helped us track them down. UPDATE 9/7/2026 Thanks for the continued reports and logs. We’ve identified several issues from the recent update and have prepared another hotfix addressing controllers detected in Settings but not responding during gameplay, Steam launch options opening the wrong Vanguard Princess version, incorrect display/capture fallback behavior, focus and Alt+F4 issues, and additional antivirus false-positive hardening. We’re testing the updated build now across multiple Vanguard Princess editions and controller configurations. If you still experience problems after the next update, please send your Logs folder to business@eigomanga.com

Learning that Vanguard Princess has recently received a port to the exA-Arcadia system (and worked on by FK Digital, no less) brought me here to rekindle fond memories. Except it didn't. The original 2009 version was an amazing surprise: a free fighting game made by an industry veteran with amazing sprite art and animation, heavy fanservice (which reaches very questionable levels with the Assist characters), but...

The New Update Broke Gamepad Functionality And Full Screen There is a community guide for Vanguard Princess that detailed out what you used to have to do to get gamepads to work with the game. Another guide told you how to get the game to display in a resolution higher than 640 x 480. The guides spelled out every step in detail. Well, the new update broke both items. And the new controller support and new full...

It's such a shame because Vanguard Princess is a GREAT game, but this is the worst port/version ever, everything is broken, you can't even play it in fullscreen properly, controller doesn't work, and for some reason if I try to play with keyboard my character keeps jumping by itself do yourself a favour and get it from somewhere else
