Right joystick movement way too fast
Game is now impossible to play. Even turning down movement to it's lowest, does not stop my controller (even the new one) from moving very fast. Doing 180's easily and often. Reinstalled to no avail. Game is unplayable for me at present. Anyone experience this? This started a few days ago. No settings help.

I had this problem also. Download a new controller profile then tweek it to your liking. I messed with the dead zone while it's not perfect it's much better. I think there is some kind of conflict using a controller on pc.

have you checked your Steam controller settings? maybe also calibrate it?

This is what I did. Took me about a week to get it just right. Game was unplayable for me also now I can't put it down.

FWIW: i haven't had any problems with my Xbox One controller on my Linux PC gaming system...

although in my case, i do have to have Steam Input enabled... some may see that as a problem... i think it is more of how Steam enables the controller to be seen by the emulation container windows games are placed in on Linux systems... anyway, to me it is not a problem having Steam Input enabled...

It's odd this is the only game I had that on. The dead zone seems to be way off.

I use a third party controller with my PC and no problems at all. The recent update may have added some functionality changes to the controller. Make sure Steam is in Big Picture Mode when you adjust a controller or customise a controller. Following a game update that may have added new controller or mouse functionality, if a controller stops working correctly always download the Official game set ups, before customising on the default.

Steam UI in Big Picture mode is more reliable when saving and deleting (removing) old and new controller saves. Always start on a clean official default setup and be sure to remove or delete (maybe back up elsewhere too) previous saved settings that may still override your new changes. Any previous Community cloud saves, Personal saves, local saves may all have to be cleaned out, to avoid conflict with a new save setup (based on the most recent official download). Sometimes removing a previous save setup can be stubborn, if it is currently in use (or may be in use by a different logged in account) so switching to another save to delete the one you want
may help but loading an official setup should be what is done when troubleshooting.

Steam has general (global) adjustments for controller dead zones and is often best to setup first. Also games on steam usually have their individual controller setting to change. General shows different controller types too. Be sure that no controller manufacturer software is in conflict with steam controller UI. Steam works with many third party controllers and in most situations manufacturer software is not needed with steam and to avoid conflict may be removed, backed up and disabled. Check too that basic OS (like windows) USB software is setup correctly for buttons and stick movement, which is usually the first thing to do once a controller is plugged in.

Some controller hardware can fail so that may also be a cause of controller problems. Wireless Mouse and controller batteries also may be worth checking, to be sure they are fully charged.

I think in game there are sensitivity settings so it may also be worth checking if perhaps the mouse might be in conflict.
