Camera moves while trying to steer.
Hi

Im using an xbox one controller.

When trying to steer with the left joystick, my camera will quickly move around.

Ive spent probably 2 hours trying to fix this but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Check your settings. There is a setting you can disable that 1) turns the camera when you steer (controller and keyboard only), and another setting that turns the camera when you turn the "turn signals" on.

I'm going to drive for a bit. If nobody else replies, I'll take a screenshot of the setting you have to change. I had the same problem before. Drove me nuts!

Edit: Under "GAMEPLAY", look for these settings:

Did anybody find a fix for this? This camera issue virtually makes this game unplayable, at least for me.

As the OP noted, using an Xbox controller when you steer, the camera will move as if you are telling the game to look around (instead of steering the vehicle). I have checked the setting that the guy replying suggested, but this did not work. As the OP mentioned, I as well, spent hours trying to find an in game fix.

Long shot. (This was before I got TRACKIR)

I had a similar problem, where while driving my view was slowing creeping, left, right, up, down, randomly. Took me two days and found that my flight stick was plugged in and interfering with ATS. Do you have any other type of controller plugged in perhaps?

Good luck.

Are you Xbox keybinds set to the same setting for both?

I use a Xbox controller clone that registers as an Xbox controller in Windows 10 and I'm having the same problem.

I use the left joystick for steering and the right joystick for camera movement. Problem is, any up/down on the left joystick somehow registers as movement of the right joystick's axis, and therefore moves the camera too. So unless I'm really careful when steering, the camera moves. It really is unplayable. I've tried the various Gameplay settings to no avail, and I do not have any other controllers plugged in. I had no issues for a long time, maybe an update broke it?

I have this same problem. I didn't until recently. I also use an Xbox One controller because steering wheels for PC gaming is simply to expensive for a decent one. Not being able to drive without the camera turning makes this game pretty unplayable for me, and considering I just bought the extension packs for it... well you can imagine how ticked off about it I am. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, including the fix suggested earlier in the thread. It doesn't work.

I used an XB1 controller until 2 days ago and never had that problem, could you guys send screenshots of your "Controller-Settings" and what axles you have assigned for horizontal/vertical camera movement?

I use an XBOX wireless controller. Never had this problem. My steering would crawl away but that was corrected by nulling the controller in the settings.

How do I upload it?

I use a wired xbox controller with no issues as well.

You upload the screenshot on steam and then send the link of it here

I was using a 3rd-party generic Xbox controller. There had to be something wrong with the two sticks internally causing one to register input from the other. I ended up buying a real Xbox one and problem is gone. Lesson learned.

The problem is your controller's anologe sticks are broken. Had the same thing, bought a new one, fixed.
