Controller stuck in aiming mode, calibration problem

[Flo]

Half the time, when I aim, my character stays in aiming mode until I give a little tap on the stick to reset its position.

I wonder if it's my calibration/controller that sucks or if others experience the same thing.

been running into this aswell. sucks

happens with my 360 pad. Friend reported same problem, no idea what he uses. Game needs a threshold setting for the sticks. Personally i switched to kb/m controls, but would love to play it properly on tv.

With two XBOX 360 controllers, I can say that this is not a common issue I found, but sometimes a little nudge is required, because of low deadzone. I think that this setting could be added to ensure every controller can be set up perfectly. Or just a very tiny deadzone setting should be applied to the game.

I think Psybreeze has the right of it; it's the deadzone that's the issue. In my case it's specifically when aiming towards the right side, and requires a "double tap" to unstick from aim mode. If Helldivers just had a way to tweak the sensitivity/deadzone for controllers on PC, that'd be fantastic. Till' then we can only hope for a patch, or to manually configure your deadzone with a third-party program.
