Moving the camera with controller is wonky

[PageFile]

Couldn't find anything with search for this, so I'm posting here. When I started the game using a controller I noticed it was kinda difficult to aim, and I almost fell off the walk way in the lava room a couple times because the camera just kinda swung around seemingly randomly. I found out it happens when I change the direction of the camera. It will continue going the other way for about half a second before going the way I'm pushing the control stick. Mouse control doesn't have this problem.

Yeah the deadzones are terrible. It goes the wrong way for a second before moving the right way, if that makes sense. Literally makes the game unplayable for me.

I am finding the same issue and disabling Steam Controller Support does not help. Seems to be something about how the game is handling the camera on controller. If I had to describe it, its as if there was an invisible mouse being controlled by the right thumb stick. So when you change direction the "invisible mouse" takes a bit to cross the center to change the direction of the camera as desired.

I'm having the same problem. If I try to aim to the left, it pushes right for a split second, then goes to the left. Makes aiming absolutely terrible. I've been switching between controller for driving and keyboard/mouse for shooting. Hopefully they can get this fixed soon, although I'm guessing I'll have beaten it by then.

I haven't had the wrong-direction issue described, but I did find that the default camera sensitivity setting was, ahem, a bit too squirrely. 😏

This is still a problem in the current patched version, when moving camera with right analog stick it briefly starts moving in the opposite direction before moving in the desired direction, it does this when moving camera in any direction, adjusting camera sensitivity doesnt help.

Character movement with left analog is fine.

I've gotten used to using key+mouse but would be nice if they fixed the controller issue, I'm using a wired Xbox 360 controller and confirmed it doesnt happen in other games.

This is an issue for me as well with my 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller on my PC. The Steam Deck works fine though.
This is what I've found... it only happens when you switch directions. If you nudge to the left, nudge left, nudge left, etc it'll work fine, but then if you nudge right it'll go left for a bit before going right. Same with the inverse, so if you keep nudging right it'll be fine but the first time you go left after been going right it'll mess up again.

I agree that this makes is unplayable at the moment. I hope it gets fixed soon.

OMG it's not just me. I just got the game and I immediately noticed this. It is the most frustrating thing ever. DEV PLZ FIX ASAP!

I also have this problem. I'm glad to hear I am not going crazy. Hope they fix it soon!

This also happens to me with any controller that isn't 1st party xbox.
Steam Deck works fine.

Same issue I looked to find. My buddy on ps5 doesn't have this issue
