360 controller problem

[greenshaw]

I've tried everything to try and fix this so if you come up with a solution that works I'll send you a list of around 25+ games and you can take your pick to recieve a free gift.

When trying to use a 360 controller turning left is slower than turning right by a factor of around 2. I've tried 2 different 360 controllers, both wired, one new, one from the early days of the 360. Both work fine in other games. I've tried playing around with x and y sensitivity in game and resetting to defaults.

I'm running windows 8.1, everything is up to date and working smoothly. PC is a beast.

The game has negative acceleration when turning the camera side to side causing the slow camera movements. Its even worse playing with a mouse.

I could handle it if it weren't for the fact that holding the right thumbstick to the left moves my aim to the left at an incredible slow speed vs. moving the stick to the right which rotates my aim to the right at a normal pace. It doesn't make any sense to me that it should be different between left and right when it's not the case in any other game.

Try using a keyboard.

Jk, try using one of those ps3 pc controlers.

Could try to calibrate your controller in windows. You can find this by searching "controller" on your windows search box in your start button.

I recall reading about a program called XboxCE which can offer you to change the rotation speed or otherwise on each axis.

Thanks but I've tried the recalibrating thing several times and it didn't change anything.

The only thing I can think of that may be relevant is that I've installed the MarkC mouse fix found here: http://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/markc-windows-7-mouse-acceleration-fix.html

Though I don't see how that would affect movement of the left stick left but not right, not to mention a controller as it's a mouse fix.

Try uninstalling it? Might work, I guess xd

I am on Windows 10 and I have the same issue, only for me looking up, left and right work fine, while looking down goes at double speed.

Other stuff I've noticed is:
- If you do it in a vehicle, pressing down causes the on-screen control indications to change to keyboard indications, which makes me think somewhere, something is emulating keyboard input from the joystick input, and making that input register twice, thus the double speed.
- If you press down+left or down+right, the camera will rotate like crazy, about double the speed from pressing just left or right.

It seems as if pressing down is producing some keyboard input that makes the joystick's camera commands go double speed.

Check those and let me know if it's the same for you.

From memory my problem was definitely not with aiming down, I carefully tested aiming at exactly 3 oclock vs 9 oclock. Maybe your issue is somehow related but for some reason different.

Did you check what I said about the keyboard indications when you press the affected direction?

[greenshaw]

I'm afraid not. I have limited time to play and it's really only worth me putting in time to reinstall and test this if there's a definite fix, and even then I have 800 games on steam and quite a few are now higher on my priority list. When I played this last I would have noticed on screen key notifications change from controller to keyboard if it had happened. If it only happens when in a vehicle then I wouldn't have seen it as I could only bear to play 5 minutes in to the game with this problem and that wasn't long enough to find/use a vehicle.
