Gyro stuttering

[↓↓Wolfie]

Just got my Deck a few days ago and I found out about this game to introduce you to the controls, but when I'm using the gyro it literally stutters out and stops periodically as I'm moving it. Has anyone found any solutions for this kind of behavior yet? I read a couple dead-end threads, but nothing seems to have been posted after.

Same here.

Brand new steam deck (512gb). A few days old with about 4-5 hours of use (mostly troubleshooting numerous software issues than actually playing).

Today i tried this Game Demo for the first time and everything was working smoothly for a change, until i reached the motion control shooting portion.

it would not track at all, then would suddenly snap into tracking and doing it smooth as butter, then not track at all again. Joystick aiming/tracking continued to work.

whats surprising me is that i'm not getting any web search hits for anyone else reporting this issues. Yours is the only hit i got in discussions.

Totally the same here. Game is fun, but motion controls didn't work.

This is gonna sound weird, but try turning the steam deck off then back on, but have it on a flat surface, then pick it up after it boots. The gyro might be uncalibrated, and it recalibrates when you restart the steam deck

Actually I was a total noob and didn't realize you needed to hold the right thumbstick to activate gyro. All the buttons,pads and sticks have electrical sensors that detect just when you touch(dampen) the stick(current).

that would make sense if it was wonky all the time.

but if when it works its 100% accurate and smooth, but then suddenly stops working in mid action with no change in grip, calibration doesn't seem to be involved.

I still don't understand the gyro controls. Nothing that I did seemed to trigger any motion controls.

What do you do with the right stick? It's not clear at all.
