Controller Calibration Reset

[Stjepa]

Is there any way devs could make an option which will do full controller calibration reset?

When player calibrate controller in Steam - Controller settings - Calibrate , it changes automaticly gyro values in preferences.vdf .
Issue is, there is no option to bring back default values, nor does SDL_Gamepadbind line do reset for the values. It affect game inputs. Causes a tiny bit input lag. It is really annoying there is no such option. To fully reset controller, and to let Steam do basic calibration by itself with default values.

The local gyro calibration is stored under Steam\config\[serialnumber]_gyro.vdf. I am not sure how having calibrated the gyro would affect latency of input though.

I am not sure either how, but something about changing calibration, which change values in Steam/steamapps/Common/Steam Controller Configs/ UserID/config/Steampreferences_[serialnumber].vdf does change controller latency and the way game with bullet physics feels, really odd. And there is no option to fully reset those values, and force Steam engine to recalibrate it automatically with default values.

Since we have "Calibration and Advanced settings" option in Steam/Settings/Controller, is such "Reset Controller calibration" or "Reset Controller", which will bring default values and calibration, difficult to make?

TBH, I think that such an option should exist in the first place in the very basis of the program itself, and that it should be there, because it would enable players who have made any mistakes related to the joystick calibration or editing controller, to be able to correct it with a click of a button, and not to look for online solutions on reddit or such platforms how to cause some conflicts in Steam itself or rewrite developer scripts or deleting some programming files or even deal with such things.

Steam Cloud isn't allowed to be managed for us, so we are forced at this point to look for some 3rd party solutions. Please Austin, rethink about this.
