help out with using controller

[SpacePirateKatz666]

hi,

Anyone can help out with how to operate the game with the controller ? I got a controller just that when I play it the movement is fine but the camera is being a pain as it is either too sensitive or either not moving fast enough.

Does anyone that already experienced using controller know the good setting for the sensitivity for both side either the killer and the survivors please for the current build let me know what you're setting is at ?

Camera panning is always the weakest point for me , for survivor I can't pan quick enough to get to see where I am going or help me in dodging the incoming killer attacks.

For killers well it is kind of not that bad.

My own unpopular Solution:
I use a Controller in my Left Hand for Character Movement (Left Shoulder Buttons for Running/Crouching) + a Mouse in my right Hand for Camera Movement (M1 for Vaults, M2 for Dead Hard, Side Buttons for doing gens and using Items).

Because to me Controller is superior to Keyboard for Character Movement
and Mouse is superior to Controller for Camera Movement.
(But I simply can't play with Keyboard but Camera Movement with Controller sucks.)

But if you do it like that you'll need a program called REWASD to remap your Joystick to Keyboard inputs because else DBD will constantly switch between Controller and Keyboard which leads to massive Framedrops (making the game unplayable).

The controller i use: Steam-Controller

------------------------------------------------
Solution for most players:
Turning the sensitivity higher on both sides.

You can edit the controller config inside Steam per game. For DBD my settings for the camera stick are as follows(for some kind of reference);
Sensitivity is at 300% with a relaxed curve response. This means real quick movement on maximum tilt but with controlled movement on smaller movement of the stick. It's actually possible to 360 with the right settings but too high and you'll just spin on the spot.
The deadzone is set to custom with a cross deadzone shape set at around 1100. This creates an easier camera pan without unwanted movement up or down in chase or vise versa when just working gens, healing etc.
I've even added an ADS so when I use killer power or surv item it slows the camera down for more intricate control.
I believe in game is set to 80-85% to give some room for adjustment on the fly.

EDIT; you use steam controller? There is no right stick? Have you set the right touch pad to constant pan while touching it or do you have to continuously drag the pad to flick the camera?
I tried steam cont and I absolutely hated it but I have a lot of gaming hrs messing with controller settings for most games I play(hand injury means I have to use a controller).

Either way you'll want to mess with the right stick(touch pad) inside the controller config on Steam.

Double edit; Wrong person mentioned Steam controller, my bad.

just use Xbox controller and make sensitivitey 100% in Dead by daylight game and your games will be fine i do it ( i always play with Xbox controller Power A it's the best all others stink )

not about sensitivity but id suggest changing some inputs because I'm pretty sure things like vaulting and healing are the same by default so you will run into situations where you wanna heal but throw a pallet or vise versa
