Hi,
Currently waiting for a laptop to arrive, but am still playing Fallout 3 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive on my old laptop. I've moved from desktop to console to laptop etc over the years, but am primarily a console player. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem but to no avail.
Does anybody that uses an xbox pad ALOT on the xbox, have issues when it comes to the PC? Not input lag, but it feeling completely wrong, even after messing with in-game settings? I have the latest drivers, and the wired pad is 'working' fine. And it is nothing to do with sticky aim since I turn that off in all the console games. Please don't give me the usual 'use a mouse and keyboard' rubbish, I do when I can, but when relaxing (i.e. Fallout 3) I use a pad.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.
Example 1: Fallout 3 works fine with the joypad, but the aim sticks to the x and y axis and it drives me INSANE. Aiming in the distance is nigh-on impossible.
Example 2: Counter Strike & Left for Dead 2: Doesn't stick to the X and Y axis to the same degree, but still feels all wrong. I think acceleration is a major cause.
Do any of the third party apps let you really mess with the pad settings to try and get them right? Will I find that newer games like Far Cry 3 don't have these issues? Is it the drivers? Is it me being a fuddy-duddy?! I was also wondering if they have updated the pads themselves over the last 5 or 6 years.
