help with crysis 2 controler problem

paulstung · 25 Apr 2012

Evening all,just a quickie,Im playing crysis 2 on my laptop I have a amd hd5470 and is playing great appart from every now and again when you move left or right,it will continue to go in whatever direction you are moving in,until you move the thumb stick a quick flick in the opposite direction.This is only happening every now and then but it is enough to be a pain in the butt,any body with any ideas or solutions to this please help.I should mention that I am using a game pad.And have got a hp running with an i5 2nd gen 2.53ghz 8g ram and a amd hd 5470

The problem is simple, the thumb stick has a 'sticky pad' (as i like to call it) which makes you unable to move left or right when your moving forward. Could you tell me how old your controller is and how old the laptop is please? It might be your laptop alone, but i just don't know of yet since you didn't put it in.

I can move forward,it's just when I move left/right i sometimes keeps continuing in whatever direction.My laptop is roughly 11 months old and the game pad is 6 months old they are both fine on other games it is just on crysis 2 and is only now and then,its strange mate

Hmm... an 11 month old laptop with a 6 month old game pad... There's the problem, the laptop isn't actually getting the controls correct as you move around in Crysis 2, if you get a new laptop or a new game pad (or whatever you want) the problem may be fixed, but other than that, i do now know.

Gremlins... everyone's worst enemy!

It's not gremlins, the deadzone is set too sensitive, does it with my 360 pad in trackmania, start to push forward and if the thumb stick isnt directly in the centre, its veers off to the left, simple solution, calibrate it in windows device controller :)

I have never attempted to play Crysis on a laptop, let alone with a Pad... what I do remember is that Crysis was a resource Hog, even with a high end Desktop.

I also remember (vaguely) having the same problem with my mouse while plaing that game. Can't remember exactly what I did to fix the issue but, what I can tell you is things you can try... it may or may not work but it will only help instead of hinder.

Make sure you download the latest firmware for you pad, also, get the latest drivers for your video and audio. Again... it won't hurt but it may help
