Dead zone in Xbox One controller config

[Mirabilis]

Is it me or is there a mighty dead zone in the Xbox One controller configuration? It makes smooth inputs impossible.

Does anyone else have this issue?

How can I make adjustments to the controller? I can't find any way to do so ingame except for changing button configurations.

I don't use a controller usually as I get bored learning to use it but I have just tried it in Ride 3 and mine seems to be quite smooth.

I have no idea but isn't it possible to calibrate it via windows like you can with joysticks, wheels and the like?

Thanks for your feedback, folks.

For anyone new to this game and are having problems with the deadzone, the helpful people on this discussion board have provided a solution. Here is how I got it working:

download the 64-bit version of x360ce (its free, I think.)

Install it in the 64-bit version of the Ride3 directory:

C:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\RIDE 3\ride3\Binaries\Win64

the C:\ drive in the above line refers to the hard drive you installed it on (it may not be C: in your case).

Run the x360ce application.

Select your controller and make sure pass-through mode is deactivated under the advanced tab (force feedback passthrough can be left on if you don't want to alter FF forces).

Go to left thumb tab and apply 1% deadzone, and about 20% controller anti-deadzone.

save and close the program.

enjoy!


It took me a little browsing to figure out. I've put the solution in one place so you don't have to do all the virtual footwork, so to speak. Other settings my be more suitable for your controller, so consider this a baseline setting to optimise if you need to.

Have fun. It's a good game.

Thanks for getting back with the explanation. It's good forum etiquette

I would suggest that you only need 25% max anti-deadzone. I was messing with this since release, and I'm extremely fussy for such things. Perhaps your controller feels different than my range-clamped wheel.

I don't know what that is but I'm guessing it's a steering wheel?

[Jez Hammond]

Yes, so the steering range is clamped (via force feedback) to a range of 50 degrees to the left or right. This feels about right for a bike leaning sideways.

Good info, thanks.

After messing a little more with the settings, I found a 1% deadzone and about 20% anti deadzone seemed okay. I'll edit my post for the change.
