Stick Drift - Left Stick Only Walking Backwards

[ChrisPharmD]

It's weird. I use an Xbox Elite controller for most games and I haven't had stick drift that I know of.

When I walk backwards in this game, my character just keeps walking slowly backwards.

Is there an option in the menu that could fix this? It's annoying.

Yeah, I’ve had that happen to me twice now too. Had to save / exit out of the game / go back in for it to fix.

[EDIT] EXCEPT JUST NOW. I saved to type this comment, leaving myself at the pause menu. Pressed the controller center X button to bring up system menu. Noticed everything working fine. Went back in to game? Works again without exiting first. Huh. Odd.

I thought it might have to do with being over encumbered. I did go into Steam to ensure my stick was in the dead zone, and it is. My dead zones are set to 10000.

I kind of just... stopped thinking about it. I'm not sure if it's happening. Sometimes I notice it and sometimes I can go long sessions without remembering it.

Oh, I was wrong, btw. It happens both forwards and backwards.

It's kinda funny because I've heard complaints about stick drift forever and have always wondered why it's never happened to me. Welp... now it's happening to me. :( I tried turning mouse sensitivity to 0 but no luck.

I dunno! If you figure anything out, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Same here with an Elite 2. Not even making big dead zones in Rewasd fixed it...

No luck. Just living with it.

Just found a way to fix it:

Make or open StarfieldCustom.ini at %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Starfield\

and put these settings:

[Controls]
fRThumbDeadzone=0.1
fLThumbDeadzone=0.2

Wait. There is no folder there. Is it the folder in AppData -> Local -> Starfield?

Press Win + E to open File Explorer.In the address bar at the top, type or copy-paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Starfield\ and press Enter.

Weird. I found it. I had to do a quick Google Search, and this came up.
