Playstation Stickdrift

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support
1

Issue Type (Required):

Input Devices (Keyboard, Mouse, Controller, etc.)

Issue Description (Required):

I don’t know if this issue has been addressed, but I have seen it acknowledged and wanted to know if there was any other support. I originally thought it was my controller, but upon buying a new one the problem persists. Even setting the dead zone threshold to the maximum value, my camera will still float around even though the other stick physically can not move me forward. It has made the game unplayable sadly and with this new event out, I feel like I will be missing out on it as well.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PS5

Sorry to hear this. May I confirm that you’ve experimented with setting your Deadzone to 0.05 to start with, and slowly increased this value with no improvement?

That is correct. This wasnt previously an issue and hasn’t persisted into other games. I have incrementally increased the deadzpne to no success or really any slight improvement.

Could you tell me which controller you’re using, please? Is it the standard PS5 controller?

Ofcourse, the original one is simply a Dualshock 4, and I am aware of it having some slight stick drift in other games as well. The newer one is a Dualshock edge and while it allows me to use the Playstation console to mess with the deadzone, that doesn’t really add or detract anything from my situation.

Thanks for the information! I have a couple of questions from one of our developers:

  • Does the deadzone only apply on the left stick, or is the camera floating and the right stick unable to affect the camera movement as well?
  • Does the camera move more if sensitivity is changed?

The deadzone is indeed only applying to the left stick. I seem to have full control of the camera. And sensitivity does not seem to increase or decrease the amount of movement from the drifting.

Sorry for the delayed response - I did share this with the developer who handles issues of this nature on Friday, and I’m waiting to hear back.
