Xbox one controller sensitivity is way too high and can't change

[Zac Knob]

Context: wanted to start casually playing this game again, so I booted up the game and loaded all my mods back in and after I finally got in game the controller sensitivity was off the charts and i have no idea how to fix it, there isnt a seperate section for controller sensitivity like some games have. send help

Not to knock your decision with using a controller, but when you have a K and M, why would you use a controller on a game where fast and accurate reactions are needed?

Most custom servers have the controls that are specially hooked up for a K and M set-up, thus, you would be f*cked if a server had one of the menus you have close with your Keyboard.

Just saying bro, I don't see why you would want to use a controller, as it just complicates everything for no reason.

The only time I ever had to use a controller on a game for the PC, was Ascend: Hand of Kul. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loved that game... anyway. My point still stands.

Using a controller even for FPS games on PC is fine, but source games are a very bad choice for that. They usually don't have ADS nor do they have AA, so you're stuck with 1 sensitivity and no help with aiming. Honestly anyone who wants to play L4D2 with a controller is better off getting the Steam controller.

Chenge the sensitivity throught console I guess.

ok so you are the kind of person that shouldnt be answering these posts in the first place, your insight isnt helpful, I don't like K and M because of how I am sitting for some games and I hate WASD games. So I tend to default to my controller, point standing I use my pc to play games I would play on my console, just not at 30 fps and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ resolution, so using it as an upscaler is what it is mainly, I do mean that loosely because i do enjoy my pc however because of how my desk is set up a controller lends itself very well.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but there is the factor that you're basically creating your own issues here by trying to use a controller for a copy of a game that is almost solely designed to be used with a K and M.

Therefor, by not using a K and M, you're complicating things for yourself, as you currently have an issue because of said controller use.

I'm not going to call you a "noob" for not wanting to use a K and M, as I didn't care for it at first either, but after getting used to it, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love the K and M, and now prefer it much more over the controller.

Most PC games are set-up for WASD based controlls, and are not designed for Xbox or Playstation controlls, so, it's honestly no suprise that you're having issues.

I understand that maybe your set up is not the most optimal for a K and M set up, but still, maybe it would help to make an attempt with the K and M?

That's honestly the best advice I can give you, and probably most people on here can give you, as about anywhere from 95-99% of L4D2 players on PC use the K and M.

Whether or not I'm the kind of person to answer this kind of topic, is not of importance. To be fairly honest, almost no one on here is the kind of person to answer this question in the OP.

I remember seeing a file called autoexec360 (or something like that). Leaving this file along will disregard any changes you made to autoexec, so just delete it.

Again I’ve literally used a controller with no issue prior to this, all of my other games work just fine with a controller, I don’t care if it was made for WASD, I grew up playing left 4 dead on Xbox 360 so I prefer to use a controller, I don’t like playing shooters without a controller, I grew up playing halo 3 and halo wars on Xbox 360, again, I don’t see why it should be hard to understand why I want to fix this issue, you commented something useless to the actual point of this discussion meanwhile I had somebody give me actual advice and a whole program to use, thank you nice guy. However, you likely go onto forums about controllers on pc and likely just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I don’t get it, if you don’t have anything useful to contribute don’t say anything

It's an open forum page. Expect answers of all kinds.

I also grew up on the Xbox 360. Hell I was even rocking the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FIRST XBOX with Halo Combat Evolved, Soul Caliber II, Halo 2, and Star Wars Republic Commando.

I also grew up with the first Playstation, and Playstation 2. I rocked the Spyro games on there, War of The Monsters (my favorite), Sly Cooper, Jack and Dexter, WWE 2005, ect.

I also rocked the damn GAME CUBE when it came out. Luigi's Mansion was a game I was hooked on. I even rocked the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DREAM CAST.

Then I upgraded to the Xbox 360. Played the first game the ver came out for it. It was a racing game where you could attach guns and ♥♥♥♥ to your car. It was fun to me, so I played the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. I also played both L4D, and L4D2, and Halo 3, and basically every Halo game to come out on that, Gears of War 1, 2, and 3, Asend Hand of kul was also a game I was addicted to. I then went to the Xbox One.

So you want to talk about growing up with a controller? I've either matched you, or beat your ass with that.

Was it difficult as all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Hell trying to play L4D2 with PC controlls? By god, yes. It was a major adjustment. But, it was worth it.

I understand that you love using the controller, and that it's something familular to you, but have you ever even gave the K and M a try? If not, do it. Or don't.

All I'm saying is, you're not the only one who had to grow up with a Controller. The adjustment for me was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge, not even going to begin to lie about that, and I understand wanting to stick to what you know. I'm just saying you need to go through all kinds of headache to get the controlls set up right, much like as you are now.

So forgive me for not helping, but if this is an open forum page, expect replies of all kinds.

Stick with a controller. Who wants to sit back in their couch with feet propped up on an ottoman, and have to lay a keyboard across their legs and try to mouse on the couch's cushion pads.

Yes, many people have gaming PC's in their entertainment center and game in a comfortable position.

Assuming you only play campaign good luck with a controller.
If you're gonna play versus tho prepare to be kicked often, the controller will really limit your skill ceiling. Good luck.

try going to account settings /Account and go to the beta participation and opt out of steam beta
im guessing the controller is acting like its a mouse if so try that.

Yeah. Aiming will be so much more difficult and much harder to quickly spin and shove zombies from scratching your butt, or just quickly look around and shoot specials before they can attack you.

[To OP] I can't really help you because I don't use a controller myself...

But regarding the latest replies, the op isn't asking about the performance of a controller compared to keyboard and mouse, they're seeking help to set / reset controller sensitivity...Not sure why it turned out to be 'Does controller suck compared to k/m"?

OP, do let us know if Jimmeehh' solution worked for you and fixed the issue. Even though I probably will never use a controller but it's always good to know info about it.
