| Summary | 0018830: Gamepad dead zone too small | ||||
| Description | When I take my finger off the stick of my 0000003:0000003-year-old Xbox 360 controller, my gun points northeast. This makes the game unplayable with the gamepad for me. Have to go back to mouse and keyboard. | ||||

Actually, there should be settings in the options to adjust the deadzones, exactly for this type of problem. The settings should be just below the View and Edit Controls options. |

Huh, not sure how I missed that before. Yep, it's there. I might have been confused by the behavior when you let go of the right stick: 1. Walk southwest 2. Shoot northeast 3. Let go of right stick 4. You are now pointing southwest This makes it conceptually difficult to aim missiles; you have to aim missiles while firing your main weapon. Not a huge problem, but kind of annoying to have the avatar keep flipping back to its last walking direction instead of staying where I aimed it. |

Yeah, I think there was a lot of discussion about this behavior way back and in the end we decided on this aiming reset. I think people were aimining, then often forgetting where they had last aimed, potentially wasting missiles the next time they fired. This reset behaviour was deemed a bit better, and personally it seems to work for me. |
