Steam Controller gyro input issues

[Hammaneggs]

I just bought the game and have been trying to make my Steam Controller work well with it. Normally gyroscope controls are pretty easy to bind to games even if they don't intend the behavior, and I've got it working on other driving games, both sim and arcade.

I tend to use a default controller setup, and then bind the gyro as thumbstick input. It worked well for a couple minutes before I decided that I wanted the response curve to be slightly different. After that point the controller seems to make the car put in severe steering angles with very little room in the middle, even after extensive attempts to fix or use other people's configurations.

After these troubles I tried using it in other games and it's still working totally fine there. Does anyone have a potential reason why I am experiencing this oddity and how I might go about fixing it?

Adding clarification, if it was just severe steering input, I could probably work that way with deadzone and anti-deadzone, but when it is fairly dialed in, the input seems to push all one way and not much the other way unless I turn the controller upside down. So "center" is acting as full left.

Hello. I am having the same problems. I also tested it out with a PS4 controller and it is the same thing. For me, when i turn left, it turns right and the other way around, or the steering is not responsive enough, like it used to be. I suspect it might be something to do with the last update since it worked before... It is very unfortunate and I couldn't find a fix yet

ok i actually went in game to try it again. I started the game, spawned in a map and then i connected my steam controller and then i set up the gyro to act as "Joystick" and it simply worked. I forgot to mention that before my controller used to decalibrate but simply holding the steam button on it calibrated it back again. Also yesterday, I did this again, had my controller connected already, started the game, spawned in, saw taht it is still broken, i applied another layout made by some user and it worked, and then broke again after awhile. Yeah I have no idea what is going on. Just try to set up the layout again while in game.

Hello Aky, I ended up with my own solution a couple days after my post. Instead of using "thumbstick" or "as thumbstick", I used "thumbstick deflection" and it's worked for mine ever since. I might also recommend making sure it's only using one axis, rather than two, but I'm not sure how relevant that is.
