Possible Bug - Using "Joystick Move" + mode shift button makes in game camera point straight downwards.

[Bynnh0j]

This problem only started when todays update came out.
To recreate the problem:
Set the Left Joystick input style to "Joystick Move" and make the output be left joystick.
Then set the mode shift button to "Left Bumper"
Then set the Left joystick mode shift input style to "Directional Pad" and set the four inputs as W, A, S, and D.

Now whenever I press the mode shift button (left bumper) in game, my camera immediately looks straight downwards, and when I let go of left bumper, I am still facing downwards but turned around 180 degrees. If someone could try this out to see if it is a wide spread issue, or just an issue on my end, that would be great.

Ive tested this in 3 games (GTA V, CS:GO, and Wolfenstein) and got the same results in all three games.

i have the same problem in GTA5 . I set the mod shift button to right cuff ("poignet droit" in french) and as soon as I press it , my camera immediately looks straight downwards .

good to know I am not the only one. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

VALVE EMPLOYEE PLEASE READ THIS!

I believe I have the same issue.
I was able to fix it just now.

What I did:
1. For BOTH trigger buttons in the config, go to the "Trigger Analog Output"
I set mine to OFF.

2. Turning it off apparently isn't enough, so I had to move both "Trigger Range Start" and "Trigger Range End" sliders to the very left.

(This may not apply to you if you need it on.
I'm personally using it for my desktop config, but now I can use the triggers without issue!

I notice in Elite Dangerous that the mouse cursor goes straight up to the top left corner of the screen upon holding the mode-shift button, then resets to center of screen upon release.

I've also tried the left pad as Joystick Move in MGSV, and the camera would also lock straight down. I suspected that this is happening because you are making the controller emulate both mouse and gamepad inputs when you switch from WASD on the left pad/stick to JOYSTICK MOVE. I assume this would only actually work as intended in games that support inputs from both M+KB and gamepad --simultaneously--! Some examples would be Just Cause 3 and Alan Wake.

I tested out some other things when you mentioned swtiching between m+kb and gamepad controls. It turns out that I get this problem if I switch between any kind of xinput and m+kb control. The thing is, that this wasnt happening before the Dec 10th update.

When I was originally setting up my steam controller when I first got it, I quickly realized that there were some weird side effects to combining gamepad and m+kb controls in GTAV, namely that the rockstar video editor would be automatically triggered, so I specifically set up all of my controls so that every key on the controller would switch from gamepad to m+kb when I pressed the mode shift key, and it all worked perfectly. Then this update came out and its all wonky again.

I also noticed what you said about Elite Dangerous with the mouse cursor, except I saw it in the main menu of GTAV. When I press the mode shift key, and control the cursor using mouse controls, the cursor would suddenly jump back to the original position as soon as I let go of the mode shift key.

I've opted into the client beta and opened a support ticket to try to get to the bottom of this.

I've just discovered something new. When leaving, for example, the left joystick funtion to "none", and having the mode shift key switch the left joystick to "directional pad", you would expect that the left joystick only functions while the mode shift key is pressed.

But it turns out that the left joystick will still act as a directional pad even when the mode shift key is released.

Perhaps this is related to the problem?

This is also happening with the gyroscope. If it is set to none, but the mode shift funtion is set to mouse, it will continue to control mouse movements even when the mode shift button is released.

This was happening to me before the Dec 10th update, (I noticed it sometime last week while playing Valkyria Chronicles) but I know it didn't happen about a month ago.

Are you opted into the steam client beta? Because the bug was probably introduced in the beta in the week or so prior to the full public release.

I've been in the Steam Client Beta since I got my controller back in mid-October.
