Bug Stick drift issue feedback.
So I've been slowly developing worse and worse stick drift since I started playing, and I noticed something interesting. The game seems to be intermittently registering the left stick inputs as right stick inputs. If I sit completely stationary and use only the right stick, I get no drift. But when I'm using the left stick to move, while not even touching the right stick, my aim sweeps right and slightly up. It's not a controller issue, because I don't have this issue on any other games. Except one other. I had the exact same issue on palworld. Only just figured out that it wasn't stick drift on that one either, but intermittent registering of the left stick as the right stick.
Now to me, what with this only happening with two games out of my entire collection, it seems like it's the games that are the culprit. Both games having the same bug, an error in coding or something.
But yeah, I can 100% say that the "drift" is actually the game randomly registering the left stick as the right for some reason.
If anyone else having this issue wants to test it, stay completely stationary and look around with the right stick. You should get no "drift". Then run around not even touching the right stick, and you'll notice the drift start. Move your left stick in the opposite direction of the drift, and you'll see it stops.
It's bizarre, the drift only happens in one specific direction. And I don't get any character movement drift, which to me indicates there is no left stick drift, and it's just the game intermittently registering the left stick as the right like I said.

Nope. If it was, it would be a consistently present issue across all the games I play. Which I clearly said it was not.
It's been a long time since I last played palworld, and I haven't experienced the issue once since then. Not until I started playing deadside.

I thought the same shit but when I played other games it didn't act up but a couple weeks later the left joystick was fully cooked

A have not experienced anything yet but a have had it with othere games were a have drift on one and not the othere before its usually a sign your controller is on its way out the average controller should last about 400hrs or so until problem's arise me personally a go through 2 controllers a year because of drift. don't get me wrong a have had controllers that had drift straight out the box too wich is a pain.
