Near unplayable on Xbox/PC using a controller due to....

[NetshadeX]

deadzone on the analog sticks = 0 and no way to change it. Feels like your character is on ice skates. Please add a deadzone slider for controller players! @devs

Same, I legit had to stop playing, it's impossible to move with coordination. Here's hoping this gets fixed soon!

[piotrbala2]

Yes... And aiming is even worse... Fight with 3 person is almost imposible and i was COD player thousands hours on Xbox so i can aiming.

The game needs this, my elite drifts slightly, makes this game impossible

You can’t change the dead zones like in Rocket League or the stick sensitivity like it all AAA games?

[Syrith]

stick sensitivity yes but if there is any drift on the stick its all over the place at the slightest touch

Yes you can but the issue is not that. It's that the analog sticks register input at the slightest touch which is not how it's supposed to be. Every game that's playable with a an analog controller has a so called deadzone, meaning the further you press the stick the higher the input. The input typically starts registering after about 5-10% of movement on the stick.

In this game it starts registering movement instantly at the slightest touch, meaning the analog stick behaves as if it was digital. This makes it feel like your character is gliding across ice.

I've been in contact with the STALKER 2 team through their official website and they've told me they are aware of the issue. Let's hope this gets fixed soon because right now it makes the game unnecessarily hard to play.

It would probably help if more people reached out to them, so they'll see the urgency of the issue.

Yeah! I'm also having serious issues with the drifting, I'm relief to see that I'm not the only one. I'll reach the developers as you suggested to see if we can get a hotfix soon.

Thanx, and yes the game is great. Sadly with the current controller issues I've had to set the game to rookie difficulty and aim assist to full in order to stand a chance in gun battles. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. They were fast to reply to my message so I have good hopes they'll look into it.

As someone who plays lots of racing games with the controller no deadzone is how I prefer it but I can see why this is an issue.

[riddim]

my man clearly has never heard of the xbox accessories app for pc... u can literally customize ur dz inputs -__-

[Lyles]

Had the issue without using a controller, but having a xbox controller plugged into my PC. Took some time to figure out I needed to unplug the controller to stop my camera from drifting.
