Movement with controller now weird

What did you guys do? On ps5 the controller movement is super clunky and weird now. Your character can either walk or run, in between that he just stops moving even though you’re moving the analog stick.

I agree, this is bad since im one who gets game sickness and im feeling quesy after less than 10 mins playing. It feels sort of spongy or sticky, weird kind of lag maybe.

Please blizzard, i hope you can look into this right away. I would hate to go through game withdraw due to it making me sick. I have just over 500 hrs, i know, go touch grass haha.

I play on thr ps5 and have tested it on 2 official controllers.

Agreed, if I change direction now I stop for a second. It will be impossible to play and stay alive like this.

Confirmed on PS4. Character stutters while moving and randomly stops. Happens everywhere: open world, dungeons, etc… very frustrating.

On Xbox Series X, there is a definite dead spot between walk and run. I don’t have any stoppages while changing direction at a run.

Yep. On PS5 it’s the same.

Same issue on Xbox Series X

Same issue, PS5. I had to adjust my control stick settings by setting the inner dead zone to zero and outer deadzone to 1 or 2, but it’s still not as fluid as before for some reason. I never had to adjust these settings in the past.

Yes! Just experienced this in a nm dungeon, thought shred was using up my actual evade dashes, after paying closer attention realized the controller was just randomly failing for seconds at a time. Too many CTAs at once?

Now im not sure if theres a severe balance issue post latest patch or just a controller issue making me play worse.
Not sure but something def feels off and inconsistent and not fun now. Hope it all gets sorted soon.

Also - anyone know if they have addressed how they are handling inventory at the end of season 1? I was already hesitant to begin season 1 until hearing if we would get additional space upon the season ending and that seasonal char and their inventory migrating over to the eternal realm. If we arent getting more space by then with the game feeling as it currently does, i think ill just sit it out and return when some of the games current inconveniences are addressed.

Too many great games/ rpgs coming out to spend maintenance time on a game and as of late, this games maintenance is greater than its fun.

On Xbox Series X and same problem.

This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I cant believe this patch is this bad. On top of all these nerfs you cant even move correctly now.

100% same issue.
Just logged on this evening on my PS5 (8pm EST) after the update and controller movement is all out of whack. No adjustments to the sensitivity help, either.
If you start at a walking pace and gradually increase the stick distance, instead of the character increasing movement speed, they just stop dead. As you gradually keep increasing the stick, they move into an instant run.

It’s like there is now a new “dead zone” on the stick, at the midpoint between walking and running. The only way to move around is run everywhere by jamming the analog stick to very extreme edge every time.

Really hope this isn’t a bi-product of Microsoft trying to acquire Activision! I was presuming this is the sort of nonsense we would start to see on Playstation, if so.

Same on Xbox Series X. Charakter stops between walking and running.
Or when changing the direction.
Like there is a deadzone in the middle.
Movement is at this point 100% garbage an unplayable.

Pleased fix this asap!!!

Same on PC with Xbox controller ruined the gradual trot of the mount travel it was fine before the patch. Ruined the game for me and many other visual issues too they changed the look and colors of the hair and tattoos and the coven armor set for the barb fur is missing the position of a lot of mount trophies are now floating beside the mount when all those issues were fine before the patch!

Outer deadzone 3 inner deadzone 1 makes it feel alot better in contrller settings.

Same here on Series X with official controller. Glad I am not alone. Movement is completely off.

Same. PC, PS5 and XB1 controller. To be specific, there is an immediate dead zone from no movement on the left stick to about mid push, where a walk begins. Further pushing of the left stick results in another dead zone, then full run at full press.
