I have an issue with a character or cursor always moving left.
Character runs left
Cursor in the menu moves left.
Is this a common situation?
Playing online on PS5.
P.S. tried other games, there is no such problem. So issues with controller are excluded.
The issue is the deadzone is ridiculously sensitive, like the very limits of the thumbstick sensitive. You could swipe on the face of the thumbstick like a touch screen, without nudging it anywhere, and it will still move your character, literally.
Change sensitivity via options in-game. I had the same problem @~3400. Also could be the stick itself. One of my controllers seems more apt.
that’s because the deadzone sensitivity is different by game, D2 D3 both are very sensitive, just a slight tap on top of the analog and it will move
I thought they stealth patched the deadzone issue. Guess not.
I’m on PS4 and there is no way to adjust the minimum or “static” deadzone of the analog stick.
Some truly excellent control settings for deadzones, acceleration, sensitivity, and virtical vs. horizontal sensitivity exist in games like Apex Legends.
What happens to analog sticks over time is that the plastic grooves and pins which run against each other wear down over time. This can make plastic “dust” collect in the groove and make the it falsely read as movement while the stick is not moving. Sometimes the springs losing their springyness cause this too.
I’ve always wished some controller companies would get a friggen clue and make a premium controller with metal analog sticks, teflon coated pins, high quality springs and precise sensing electronics. I’d buy a $250 dollar controller if I only had to buy one.
Screw these supposed pro gamers who get custom hardware made to their liking. They have no clue what makes a good peripheral.
Still an issue on PS4. Happens with two different controllers in D2R but not in any other game (including D3).
