With the Nightmares & Visions update, we’ve resolved an issue with the deadzone setting under the ‘Controller’ tab in ‘Settings’. Now, when your deadzone is set to 0, it will actually apply as 0, meaning any stick drift will be noticeable. In the past, the correct value was not being applied. Those…

Issue Type (Required): Other Issue Description (Required): Before the nightmares update, I had my deadzone setting at 0.02. Then, as soon as I load into the game after the update, I have insane stick drift on both sticks. I have upped the deadzone setting to 0.12. Which is a crazy jump to gain over…

Issue Type (Required): Other Issue Description (Required): I’m on xbox and my character is always moving after update. It is very weird, and I can’t find any options to turn it off? This makes the game unplayable lol, pls help! Reproduction Rate (Required): Constant (100%) Platform (Required): X…

Ok! Do you know the value I should increase it to match the previous 0.00 deadzone threshold? Thanks!

I’ll edit my post to say this too, but start at 0.05, and slowly increment should the issue persist. One player I’m speaking to has had success with 0.07. :slight_smile:

still desperately need the deadzones sliders for left and right to be separate

It’s my understanding that the deadzone has always affected both sticks, so that shouldn’t have changed. Feedback is always welcomed though!

yea its strange coz now my left DZ needs to be higher than my right so the right stick isnt responsive when i set the DZ to suit the left stick. and if i set the DZ to suit my right stick then i have crazy drift on the left. so i cant win with it atm

Great to see you addressing this quickly. However, controllers need deadzobe sliders for each stick as increasing the deadzone on the look stick is going to feel like garbage. Would you want a delay to your mouse movement inputs? Noooo. Really great work on the update otherwise. Thank you for yo…
