Issue Description:

I use an Xbox Elite V2. controller to play. Every time I login or crash and reconnect I have to go into my controller settings in the game menu and adjust them. Let me explain further with an example. My controller sensitivity setting is at 3.4 and when I login or when I crash and reconnect the setting still shows as 3.4 in the game menu but the actual sensitivity is much slower. So, in order to fix it I have to go into the game menu and adjust the slider from 3.4 to 3.3 or 3.5 and then back to 3.4 and exit the menu. Now the sensitivity is where it should be. This is an issue that has been present since Nov. 17th but I figured the devs would have caught it by now. I realize that so few people are playing with controller that this hasn’t been spotted yet. Please fix as it’s a real pain to deal with every single time I play.

Thank you!

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Use a controller
  2. Adjust sensitivity settings (example 3.4)
  3. Exit Game and Restart or Crash and Reconnect
  4. Notice that the sensitivity setting is not where you previously had it even though the number in the game menu shows the setting you changed it to.
  5. On-Screen setting shows correctly, but in-game does not register altered sensitivity until you have moved the slider at which point the game registers the sensitivity.

Since Closed Beta, every time I start the game I have to reset the following options.

Note that, they do appear to be set correctly on the settings page, but are not.

Subtitles: Off
Look Sensitivity: 2.2 (I use gamepad)
Deadzone: 0.1
Y-axis Invert: On

Also note: Many people reporting severe performance loss since launch. I wonder if GFX settings are not being saved correctly. Similar to this issue, the settings page may appear to show one setting, when in fact a different setting is applied.

Same issue but it happens every time you close the game. The options are selected but the defaults apply.

Secondly there is no way to change the aim speed while looking down the sights, it’s always just really slow. (Controller)

Agreed ADS speed modifier would be great, vibrations also hope they are coming soon.
Also since you guys also play on controller am I the only one who feels deadzones even at 0 don’t make much difference ?

Check that your settings file is not read only

Issue Description:
Changing controller settings (such as Look Sensitivity and Invert Look Y-Axis) won’t persist between game sessions. Specifically, they appear to be changed to the previously-set values in the menu, but the settings are not actually changed.

Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]

  1. Launch the game with a controller connected.
  2. Open the Options menu and go to Input
  3. Change Look Sensitivity to something really high, and change Invert Look Y-Axis to On
  4. Verify that these settings were indeed changed by testing them in gameplay
  5. Close the game and relaunch it
  6. Open the Options menu again and look at the settings you changed. They should still appear to be the correct desired values that you previously set, but in gameplay they are no longer applied (for example, the Y-axis will be inverted in the menu, but will NOT be inverted in gameplay).

Can confirm this 100% I use inverted Y axis and every game reset including crashes reverts it to normal even while it says it is inverted.

36

Issue Description:
Gamepass PC - I have my controller sensitivity settings set to 2.0 in settings, but every time I restart the game I must go to that setting and click on it and off again to “reconfirm” it. It always shows “2.0” as the setting on the bar, but there is a noticeable difference in sensitivity from before and after I perform this reconfirmation. Once I have confirmed it, it remains working as intended until I restart the game.

Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]

  1. Reset all game settings and start the game using a controller on Gamepass PC edition
  2. Start any match and note the controller sensitivity feel at default
  3. Change sensitivity to 2.0 (it also works for other values), save it, and note the new sensitivity feel
  4. Exit the game via normal means and return to desktop
  5. Restart the game, enter a mission, and check the setting to make sure it is still at 2.0
  6. Check that the feel of the sensitivity in-game is that of the 1.0 setting, or at the very least is definitely lower than 2.0
  7. Go back to the setting and click it, then click again to “reconfirm” the 2.0 that it is already set at.
  8. Check that the feel of the sensitivity in-game is that of 2.0 setting

Not only de sensitivity, the vertical axis invertion is also resseting at each new launch.

It’s bothersome.

  • the crouch option that is toogled each time we enter the input options.

  • some display options (and probably elsewhere) that cannot be changed with the controller because selecting them put the focus back up at the first option of the menu.

38

EVERY time I start the game, I have to readjust all my sensitivity settings and toggles.

All the settings are still in their prospective places as they were before, but I still have to click them all. It’s even worse with a controller.

39

Invert Y axis con controller settings restes every time, it won’t save

40

As of today, 12/23, controller settings still default to a normal Y pitch on boot even if inversion is toggled to “yes”.

Other sensitivity settings default as well look to 2.0 and the deadzone to .10
