Controller sensitivity question

[Zenith]

My characters movements are really twitchy with the xbox controller. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity so that its more smooth? I went back to Skyrim and it was nice and smooth and fluid and its making it really hard to play this game.

It also looks really dumb when your character comes up to an obstacle yet keeps running on the spot. I realize this can't be changed but geez, those are game mechanics straight out of 1995.

Other than that the game is pretty fun.

There is a file you can edit: \Documents\Witcher 2\Config\User.ini

Scroll down the page to find IK_Pad_RightAxisX [and Y] settings and change the value to something other than "1." This is the setting I use:
IK_Pad_RightAxisX=(GameKey="GI_AxisRightX",Value=0.7)
IK_Pad_RightAxisY=(GameKey="GI_AxisRightY",Value=0.7)

If for some reason you use the game's configuration tool again, you will have to edit and save this file again because it will reset to default. While you're there, Scroll down to the bottom and look for TextureMemoryBudget. If your GPU supports a decent amount of RAM, you can potentially improve the performance of the game by increasing this value. So, say you've got a 2GB video card, you can change that value to something like 1000 (1000 megabytes aka 1 GB).

Thanks so much. I'll give that a try.

Unfortunately those settings weren't in the user file but rather in \Documents\Witcher 2\Config\input_AZERTY (and also duplicates in input_QWERTY and input_QWERTYZ). I changed them all to .5 but all it did was change the camera sensitivity as far as I could tell.

So I then changed the left axis from 1 to .5 in the 4 settings below (i assume one for each direction) but when I got back in game I was only able to walk (i couldn't run).

\Documents\Witcher 2\Config\input_AZERTY
IK_Pad_LeftAxisX=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftX,Value=1.00000)
IK_Pad_LeftAxisX=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftX,Value=1.00000)
IK_Pad_LeftAxisY=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftY,Value=1.00000)
IK_Pad_LeftAxisY=(Gamekey=GI_AxisLeftY,Value=1.00000)

So I bumped it up to .7 and now I can run again but it didn't fix the twitchiness.

I think I'm ready to give up trying to fix it.

But moving my character is so twitchy and feels so terrible compared to how smooth and fluid Skyrim is that I don't even want to play the game, which is a shame because I was starting to like the combat and get into the game.

When will developers start to realize that the PC gaming demographic is changing with more and more people playing on their big screen TVs and with controllers?

Steam is starting to realize this with their "Big Picture" and the soon to be released steam machines but if developers are just throwing in controller support as an after thought then it doesn't matter. I may as well just give up on PC gaming and get a new console instead.

After playing games like this on a 46" 1080p TV with 5.1 surround sound while relaxing on the couch with a controller there's no going back to sitting at a desk in front of a monitor. At least in my humble opinion.

Oh, my mistake! Sorry. For some reason I got it in my head that the camera was twitchy, but at least you found the adjustment for the left stick. I hadn't tried changing that. It was the too fast camera that was bugging me.

I'm officially done with this game anyway. Thanks for your help though. I Switched to mouse/keyboard and there's still the same annoying twitchiness plus there's severe mouse lag in the menues. Why the hell would they release it like that? This game sucks balls and I am done with it.
