Unplayable due to Controller madness

[Lucille]

I can't play, because no jumping, no interaction, and in the menu wild jumps around in the settings...as if my xbox 360 controller was mad...?!

[Khaos Strife]

Yep. Same deal here. Just here scratching my head saying WTF.

[PastaLaVista]

for no reason, sprinting got working again just like randomly as it was not yesterday

[Khaos Strife]

This is where I just point the finger at Microsoft and glare.

check if you have another fligth stick or something like a wheel plugged in if not go to device manager and disable hid complient device your controler should still work but even dark souls needed that to fix its issue.

worked! thanks

My drivers are calibrated and work correctly in test configuration.

Other games no problems.

Mad Max: can move and look with controller, but not jump/sprint with triggers, no interaction with buttons, and can't open the map with back button. In the menu sometimes it moves around by itself.

With mouse no looking around.

The Mad Max controls are absolutely not working and make the game totally unplayable for me. I can go to the 1st water the beginning of the game, but not even grab it...

This is weird. I checked the Steam local datas, everything shall be ok...

Dude, i have same issue with my wireless F710 . But somehow i solve my problem. I just download drivers for my gamepad and its seems to work. My problem was just similar to yours in every point you made.

I have a similar issue, my xbox 360 controller is fine during gameplay.. but when accessing the Menu screen its madness.. it changes through the different tabs at random, does its own thing like its possessed. Ive used my controller in other games and its perfectly fine. Anyone else experiencing this just in Menus?

[Khaos Strife]

Nope. Menus are fine for me. It is the actual gamplay that is still boned for me. Both on a 360 and XB1 controller.

For me it looks like, gaming studio's can play with a mouse and keyboard anymore, and than make a crazy remap, for keys and mouse.

press 2, to use a knive
press 3, to use other weapons etc, is it so hard to make that work for a pc game??

I do not use a tiny controler, made for small hand.

The same weirdness on the camera vieuw, drive the car, press 3 for harppon, press mouse right, to aim, pull it with the car, the car turns around, all the sudden W forward become S backward, camera angle goes sideways, pffff, that makes a game pretty unplayable for me.

Menus are crazy for me. Seems to be simply the triggers are too sensitive for use in menu tabs. The devs ever hear of deadzones?!?
I can literally blow on my controller and it'll change tabs!

Edit: A very simple trick seems to be to simply put down your controller and use the mouse/keys in menu. Just try not to breathe in the direction of your controller! :D

[Ramen Tamer]

I tried everything in this topic and none of them worked...Then, I turned down the mouse sensitivity to 25 and it's been working fine ever since. I don't know if this will help anybody, since this game seems to be really picky with what fixes work for which people.

Weird stuff. But it's worth a try.

[PedicaboEgoVos]

I had the same LT problems as some others. Often cars would rev without moving, and using the balloons was next to impossible as the game kept registering LT input.

Turning down the mouse sensitivity as low as it can go helps. I still have the weird unresponsiveness occasionally, but just tapping the LT gives me back control. There was definitely some mix-up with Z-axis and mouse look for me.

Edit: Tried setting mouse sensitivity to 0 in settings.ini, and it seems like the problem returns.

Anyone who wants analogue acceleration, brakes and steering?!?
Why is a good controller not a part of a glorious desktop PC?
Some games are better with mouse/keyboard, others with a controller of some kind.
I'm not going to play Arma on a gamepad but equally I'm not going to play F1 on a keyboard and mouse! :D

The Main Issue

Okay, so im not sure if this helps, but if I have the same issue as you, vise versa, then what you have mostlikley done is fry the input on the trigger, the only way to fix this as far as I know is to create a trigger deadzone.

Explenation

If your controller does not spamm full trigger all the time, but just a little bit on the z axis, putting a deadzone just above the triggers self made input, you will be able to use the trigger as if it were normal.

How To Fix

The way you do that is by going into steam big picture mode, launch the game you want to play and go into controlls settings within the game you run. If steam is in bigpicture mode and you go into the controlls option you should be redirected to steams controlls and settings for your controller, thus you can change the trigger deadzones.

(This works in Rocket League as far as I know)

This was the only way i found to change the z axis deadzones, there probably is a way out there, I just havent found it.
