Right thumbstick reversed?
Fired this up for the first time in about five years just now, and everything is running great, except the right thumbstick. Pressing up and down on the right stick moves the camera left and right, and pressing the stick left or right moves the camera up and down. It's incredibly jarring. Anybody know how to fix this?

Same problem, did you figured out something?

You need to set a custom control scheme for the game through steam itself. Should be able to do that by right clicking the game in your library. Just set the analog stick for which direction it's actually moving in and you should be good.

I don't see an option anywhere for reversing the right stick inputs. Just mapping the stick to function as another button, limiting it to one axis or another, and whatnot.

Did you manage to fix it?
The shooting sections are unplayable like this.

I had this same problem. If you browse the controller configurations for all controller types, you'll find one made by Tycho. I used that one and had minimal issues with the game.

Thanks for that. I had no idea you could browse configs like that, fixed my issues.

Where are you guys even looking for these controller configurations?? On the Steam community page? The game somewhere? Somewhere off site? I know this is a late reply but can someone be extremely specific? I'm randomly getting this issue as well; where the right joystick is being weird and looking in those strange directions. (Left is up, up is right, etc)

You need to open steam in big picture mode, go to steam settings, enable steam configuration support for xbox controller, then go find the game in your library (still inside big picture) and press the button that lets you config the controller. Then you press X and slide down to community configs and find the one you want.

That worked! Thank you so much!

This is the case for me as well. I rigged up a KB/Mouse config that works, but this game has punishing quick time events and it's often quite hard to distinguish between keys rather than colourful XBOX buttons.

My issue in particular is that the game is dead-set on interpreting the state of the linked analog triggers for the up-down camera axis no matter what community or personal layout I choose, when the controller is enabled. All Tycho's configuration does for me is change the left-right camera axis to up/down on my right joystick, and the triggers still control vertical camera. I've tried turning off analog input on the triggers and the game still has access to them anyway! Still, this might have something to do with the Protontricks setup I've had to do as described on protondb.

Very much not sorry for continuing this thread :)
