Deadzone fix (durazno) stopped working for seemingly no reason.

[she cyka on my oro til i blyat]

So I was using the deadzone fix from nexusmods to make the movement smooth. I've been installing and reinstalling the game many times and the fix always worked without any additional changes required.

The order of events so far was: I installed ds2, installed durazno, uninstalled and reinstalled ds2 several times (it was working all this time), then I got a new pc, downloaded ds2 and durazno, it was working, then I uninstalled ds2 and reinstalled it (one time on this pc) and now it stopped working for some reason.

I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting durazno, etc in various combinations. I'm using an xbox one controller and I'm on win11.

Anybody got any help?

I tried it some time ago (both Durazno and another fix based on it specific for DS2 made by MTaye), but stopped because I read things about it possibly causing softbans.

The solution I currently like the best is using Steam Input, since the fix for the deadzone is just applying a cross-shaped anti-deadzone. I didn't manage to fine-tune the parameters by myself to make it perfect, but there are a few Steam Input layouts for DS2 which simply take the default layout and apply a well-tuned anti-deadzone. You can try a few of those to see if it feels right for you.

Mods probably doesnt working, because dark souls 2 was been updated.

Thanks, I found a serviceable config.

The configs don't seem to make much difference to me. And if you go to edit them, the settings are all default. Is this how it is on yours?

Now that you mention it, I remember having trouble with that at first, I downloaded layouts which were supposed to fix the deadzone, but the left stick config was still the default one. I remember it was soon after the new BPM mode was released, so I don't know if something broke or what. Even now, taking a look at a few layouts with deadzone fix, they still seem to use the normal one.

Try the "DS2 Deadzone Fix" layout for the xbox controller by Silas, that one actually includes the deadfix solution for me. I haven't tried it on the game, but the stick config that it's loading for me is (only the values the differ from defaul):
- deadzone: cross-shaped
- range: 25-88
- anti-deadzone: 12287

You can also try to modify the default layout based on these values, they are the only ones that I see modified.

No, but it was a bit of a pain in the ass to set up either way. I must have installed it 6 times before it worked properly. Sometimes it would change nothing, sometimes it would wildly change the sensitivity of my sticks, sometimes it would make my left stick perform dpad actions for some reason.
