Edit2: Left Trigger Causing Analog Stick Input.

[Cerebrum123]

I've been getting drift to the left on the left stick lately. Is there anything I can do other than calibration to fix it? Calibration hasn't helped much, seems to stop it for a little while. It's rather sporadic drift too. In Warframe it seemed to happen slightly more often when I was aiming down sights.

[MartyWF]

I've seen you on these forums for years....You didn't say if you tried Deadzone adjustments...Try that if it sounds good...

[Cerebrum123]

Yeah, I've been here a while, but only recently got the drift. Doesn't seem to happen all games* equally either. I tried addind a bit of Deadzone in Warframe, but it didn't seem to help. I'll try again later to see if my changes stuck.

*Seems to happen more often if I'm usind xinput rather than keyboard/mouse bindings. In fact, I haven't noticed it in any games where I use keyboard movement.

Well, to be fair, you'd definitely notice it if you used keyboard movement. There is no analog there so if you got "drift" you'd go full speed in one of 8 directions.

Yeah, it seems really strange. It will randomly just move my character to the left for a bit. A tiny touch to the stick and it stops for a while. I haven't noticed this while playing Paladins, nor when I was playing System Shock 2. Maybe it's not technically "drift", but something else? I've noticed it most in Warframe, and Borderlands. I'll do some more testing tomorrow.

Doesn't Warframe use native SC support? Maybe there's something up with that specifically, especially if it doesn't happen in other games...

My character occassionally starts running backwards in Warframe using SC, as if my stick was stuck. Only noticed it in that game.

If it was just Warframe I would just change my configuration to not use the native configuration mode. It's happening in Borderlands(although less frequently it seems). I'm going to test more games later.

[Cerebrum123]

This does NOT appear to be drift. It seems to be activated when I use the left trigger. At least that seems to cause it to happen 90% of the time in Borderlands. I tried turning off analog, and that didn't affect anything. It may be limited to these two games, but I'm not sure yet. This is very strange issue.

[MartyWF]

I've had configs go wonky before...I had to start over again with a fresh one to fix issues with them..Try that and see what happens...

[Cerebrum123]

I may have fixed it with changing to the Steam Client Beta. I'm not 100% yet, but it hasn't done it in my recent test on Borderlands. It's strange that it was only doing that when I pulled the left trigger.

Marty, if that didn't actually work, I'll try fresh configurations next. I did try an older configuration that I new worked, but it was new enough that it might have had the same issue if that is the problem.

Hope it helps you!!
Cheers and Good Luck Gaming!!

Come to think of it: They did mention fixing some trigger problems in the Beta branch a couple of patches ago...

It didn't :(.

I also tried changing the configurations like you suggested, as well as playing without BPM. I'll try switching back to Steam Client Stable and see if it helps.

[MartyWF]

I recommend a complete rewrite of your config....I did this for CS:GO ( I Used their recommnded config and started modifying from there...That game when you modify your config for several iterations corrupts the config...You may have that to with warframe...Post your Worst Config for the dev's if they might need more info (Config? Might be warframe )
Hope you have Luck!!

I think I might have fixed it. I had to apply a default template, and then my "3.0" configuration. Going straight to the "Recommended" configuration had issues, I guess because my "original 3.0" was just a modified version of their recommended one? Because the issue is intermittent I won't know until I do some more testing, but I was able to do some mining for a bit without any issues. I also played through the first few missions in Borderlands without issues. For that one I just used the default gamepad template and made the adjustments I previously had. It wasn't changed nearly as much as the Warframe one, which took forever to get "just right".

If it's still doing it in both games I might just submit a ticket to Valve to see if they can take a look at the configurations, and at worst the controller itself. Seems to be software based since the movement only happens when the left trigger is pulled.
