PORTAL 2 XBOX ONE CONTROLLER RIGHT ANALOG STICK NOT WORKING!

[SqueakerSqueak]

So I recently bought portal, and portal 2 in a bundle together and have beaten both games. Once I started building levels I wanted more things to use, SO i downloaded BEE2.4 and used it to build some, but then when I went to test one of my levels I couldn't use the right analog stick on my xbox one controller. I can use every other button but that one is locked. I tried going into options, then to controller but when I select "Controller" it doesn't do anything. Just beeps at me and wont go in.
Now, I am using an xbox one controller, hooked up through USB, I have tried uninstalling BEE2.4, didn't work, Uninstalled the game and then reinstalled, helped for a bit then the problem came right back. I have uninstalled and reinstalled again but the problem has stayed this time. I have tried everything. And yes, I opened up Skyrim and the right stick worked there fine...... I am at a loss.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! :)

I also have this issue, I tried to recently play and noticed that I cannot go into the "controller" settings menu. Everything works except the right analog stick, my character can strafe with the left analog but the right doesn't do anything.

A friend and I are having the exact same issue, and we haven't downloaded BEE2.4 at all. She says she noticed a recent update (the past week). Perhaps that broke something? It has always worked fine before...

Hi. I don't mean this as a complaint, but just as a small bit of advice, your topics may get more attention if they aren't written out in all caps. I don't mind it personally, but some others would just overlook a topic like that. Anyways, sorry for that, I'll get back to the real topic here.

Moving on - This became an issue with Portal 2 and a few other Valve games after recent small patches to them, and some other unrelated games that were relying on Steam's controller configuration system - many games with their own controller support and not using Steam's controller configuration system are unaffected and still function properly.

Support has put out a very quick response with a working fix to this - I've seen that several users across boards for different games have gotten a support response to this effect, and all of them have reported that doing so fixes their controller issues. Prior to this I had made my own workaround for my DualShock4 controller, but after following these instructions I no longer need to use my own fix. I'll copy/paste the relevant part from these support responses below:

--------------------
If you haven't already, please opt-in to the latest beta version of the Steam Client as the recent update from June 5th may have a possible fix.

1) In Steam, click on "Steam" in the upper left, then choose the "Settings" menu. (Preferences on Mac)
2) On the "Account" tab under "Beta Participation" click the "Change..." button.
3) Select the desired beta test from the "Beta Participation" drop down list and click "OK".
4) You will be prompted to restart Steam, please select the "Restart Steam" button.

Note: In some cases, you may need to perform these instructions twice for the beta to take affect.

Steam added a new Controller configurator to their client menu. Here's what worked for me. With the game off, from the top left of the Steam client click on Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings. Click on General Controller Settings and untick all boxes at left margin. At the bottom left margin should read your controller. Click on the button that reads XBox One Controller and click on the resulting "Identify" button until you feel the rumblers activate (might take more than one try). Close those windows and start the game.

It wasn't merely the right analog stick camera view that wasn't working for me but also the DPad, critcal for selecting gadgets and weapons or for menu navigation in many games. Hopefully my new configuration will be permanent -- at least until Steam's next ambitious idea.

Hope this helps. Let us know your results.

Thank you so much to the both of you!!!!

@JonoAMano Thanks, worked for me also.

Hi guys. I tried this solution and for me it worked pretty fine, so I'll just share with you guys and see if it's a real solution to everyone that's facing the same issue.

Worked on my steam version of PORTAL 2, with an official and wired xbox360 usb controller.

All of a sudden the right analog stick stopped working, and I made sure it was not a physical problem, because the right analog stick was working normally in other games, so that's what I did. Try this:

1. unplug the controller from the pc, and keep it unplugged until you finish these instructions;

2. delete the driver of the controller using "DeviceCleanup 64bit" (you NEED to run as administrator to work, just open the software as an administrator, select the unplugged driver of the xbox360 controller, and press "delete" - you can download this excelent tool easily searching for it on google, unfortunately I was unable to post the url here)

3. go to your steam library, and RIGHT CLICK the game PORTAL 2;

4. Select "properties" and find the option "Steam input per-game settings";

5. Set this option to "FORCED OFF" (in some languages it appears just as "NO") and click "close";

6. restart your computer;

7. plug the xbox360 controller again and let it reinstall the driver;

8. Open Portal 2 and play the game with the right analog stick working again!!


I hope this works for everyone out there with the same problem. IT MIGHT WORK TO OTHER GAMES TOO, but I didn't test it. Post here if it work on your other games with the same issue, so we'll know that this is a good solution.

Cheers, friends!

I didn't see that "Identify" button.

[JonoAMano]

You should see it near the arrow mark. In the left margin, click on the closest make to your gamepad, click Detected Controllers, then the Identify button should appear:

Not sure if that worked for me but some how problem was fixed. For me I went to define layout when I didn't found "Identify" button and saw that up and down axis is defined as axis 4 but when I was using controller it switched to axis 3. With that I thought joystick now would work.

After reading comment before me with screenshot I somehow got "Identify" button by check all boxes and unchecking them or it work just by checking all boxes but not sure about. But before pressing "Identify" button I checked define layout and there was axis for joystick set correctly.
