My joystick sensitivity for bf4
XBOX 1 Controllers with even the tiniest drift will make diagnosing the controls issue really tough and there are plenty of faulty xb1 controllers out there. I took apart my xbone controller and fixed it. Thats what I couldnt fix in the settings. This was making the already twitch snap controls crazy as I was going left to right switching every right turn and don't get me started on chicanes. I struggled like hell so revised and got some decent settings but then I noticed after running a few controlled laps my drift was there(I had forgotten about that). Turn right, click the stick in, does it go too far and make an extra odd click noise?Īnyway I didn't get a new one as it really did not effect me at all on FM5, however whenever I painted I knew there was drift in the left stick. XB1 controllers are hugely susceptible to damage within the left stick due to a faulty part(later batches may have fixed this, but not sure) so if you have had your controller a little while then you 'could' have the problem I had.īack in FEB 2014 I damaged my controller playing FM5. Let me just highlight something here that may be of no relevance but I feel I should.
doesn't allow you to control cars well, then you need to wait for a patch. Same as Braking assistance essentially brakes for you. It works because the game essentially steers for you. Hopefully that potential will become a reality with the patch, and soon. Looking forward to the patch, it's playable as it is with the steering settings tweaked, but the most frustrating thing about the broken steering is that you can see the potential for this to be a great racing game (I heard it already is on other platforms). Not as much or as well as if you were handling it yourself, but that is why it seems easier, any corrections or slight adjustments to the steering are safer because you're essentially on rails. Go around a corner with steering assistance on, without touching the left thumbstick, and the car will still turn. I just tried this, and whilst it does make things somewhat easier, that's because (despite what the original poster suggested) it is actually a very similar system to the steering assistance in Forza - it steers for you. "Steering Assistance" was the trick to make it more drivable for me also before i updated my controller, so try that first, if you haven't done it already.
No idea what it does either but it seems to work better for me too - now feel I need to speed the steering up a bit to compensate After the FM5 experience, this is a breath of fresh air. Not a vital fix, but I could see it being very helpful to anyone setting up.įinally, I'd just like to say that it's great to see Ian Bell giving updates through the forums, even over the weekend. I saw earlier in this thread a suggestion that it might be handy to add a descriptor next to each slider of what it does when highlighted, which would certainly help when setting up. As I said, it seems to have made a massive improvement for me, however a friend described as "driving a bus through treacle" so this one won't be for everyone. What it actually seems to do is make the controls similar to Forza's "normal" steering when switched on, as opposed to Forza's "simulation" setting when switched off (which I also found undriveable). I suspect that I won't be the only ex-Forza player who read steering assistance as being a setting which makes the game steer for you.

Still, got the occasional sticking on full lock, but all other aspects seem much improved. This may not work for everyone, but after struggling massively the first couple of days I tried turning on steering assistance and found things much more controllable.
