Left Analog Stick Drift Fix

By surashu

If you use Steam Big Picture gamepad mapping feature on your XInput controller, you might encounter a "drift" on the left analog stick while moving. That is, after you move, the character would continue drifting in the direction even after you've let go of the stick. This will hopefully fix that.

Option 1 - Use this premade controller configuration.

I made this controller configuration and it works for my XInput controller.

steam://controllerconfig/286690/925548550

Option 2 - Manually edit the controller configuration.

Step 1
Just go to the game itself and go to Manage Game > Controller Configuration.

Step 2
Edit the left analog stick's mapping.

Step 3
Go to ADDITIONAL SETTINGS.

Step 4
Increase the Output Anti-Deadzone by about this much.

Step 5
That's about it, that should hopefully fix the left stick drift in the game.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for the Steam controller

Hey, that small fix helped, thank you! Never thought of this.
The "controller input forced off" method disables non Microsoft controllers, so this fix here was my only hope as a ps4 pad user.

This sounds extremely weird, but how do I fix this on a Gamecube controller? I'm using the Switch remake of it so Steam thinks it's a Switch Pro controller.

I've had this issue with a few games, including one I've currently started playing called Smoke and Sacrifice. While the method described on this page DID NOT fix the issue - in fact, it made it worst with this particular game - the suggestion to turn off Steam controller support that wiCKed Redeemer brought up did fix the problem. In previous games, I also just went into Steam's controller configuration screen and chose to use the standard Gamepad template instead of the Steam controller that the game defaulted to.

So if anyone is having problems with left stick drift and not using a Steam controller, I'd recommend either using a standard Gamepad template in the Steam Controller screen, or just choosing the "Forced Off" option for Steam Input Per-Game Setting.

Just wanted to say that wiCKed Redeemers method worked for me. Had to exit the game and reload it, but the controller worked great after putting the setting to forced off and I didn't have to change any controller configuration.

TURN OFF Steam controller support for Metro 2033.

-Right click your Metro 2033 game in Steam Library
-Select Properties
-in the "general" tab you will find a setting called "Steam Input Per-Game Setting"...select "forced off"

problem solved and game works perfectly. I have not tried this with the PS4 controller, but if you have an Xbox One controller I can confirm this works.

Steam's controller support really is horrendous. In many cases, the game does a 10x better job alone.

Didnt work with my Xbox 360 Gamepad. Seemed to ignore the setting completely.
