Control input issues

[Your Dadjesty]

I found out through events where you need to rotate your analog stick that either my analog stick is partially broken or the game isn't detecting it. I'm also having issues when I switched to keyboard and mouse where it will not detect the "down" motion. Holding right and left click while moving the mouse down does nothing.

Yes, keyboard controls don't always work well.

your analog stick should be just fine, I'm also having the same issue. It's a shame because I'm using a Dualsense.

[StormaLou]

I have the same issue.:/

[Your Dadjesty]

Analog works about 80% but can't get a full rotation, which is the problem.

Same here. Using an Xbox One Controller.
Simple down and up motions are fine, but when I need to do a Hadouken motion on the right joystick, I have to attempt it a bunch of times.
I can go down, but then I can't go forward.

I was hoping the keyboard and mouse would resolve it but for some reason it doesn't work. I guess a new controller it is or stop playing

Yup controls are completely broken and in a game that has very limited timed events, this is not good. Instantly uninstalled.

Same issue and I was out of the return window so now I own a broken game.

Having same issue as you all using Xbox Series X controller. I can do anything but that freakin twist motion it asks for 99% of the time.

same here.. that rotation is 10000% better with mouse.. terrible design.. :(

Try restarting the game. I'm finding that makes everything work for a good while, then eventually it stops again and another restart fixes it.

[Mr. Rob]

There has been a fix already for controllers. One of the threads on this forum with like 50+ comments has a fix. Just do that

I found this in a game review, it worked for me.

1. Plug in XBOX controller.
2. Right Click on "Heavy Rain" from steam library and click on Manage→Controller Layout.
3. If it is the first time you opened this screen, then it will show two introductory pages. Skip them by pressing A.
4. Now click on "Edit Layout" option.
5. You will see a navigation menu on the left side. Click on "JoySticks".
6. Click on Gear icon besides "RIGHT JOYSTICK BEHAVIOR".
7. Select "Dead Zones" from left menu.
8. Choose "Custom" in "Deadzone Type".
9. Now choose "Cross" for "Dead Zone Shape" and close the window. It should work perfectly now.

Right as rain, that worked perfectly

[Tachs86]

Haha! Right as "rain" ...idk if that pun is intended or not. But you're welcome. I can't take all credit for the fix. As I said found it in a game review. But just wanted to share.
