Control Controller Controls Fix - Deadzone and Response Curve

Description

Finally a fix for the sluggish default controller configuration

Installation instructions

1. Steam users: Control → Properties → Controller → set the override to Disable Steam Input.

2. Choose one version.

3. Play the game and enjoy aiming at objects instead of approximately near them.

Standalone version

Extract the archive into the main game folder beside Control_DX11.exe and Control_DX12.exe.

Do not overwrite another mod's xinput1_4.dll. If you use Control Plugin Loader, use the optional download instead.

Plugin Loader version — optional download

Install Control Plugin Loader, then extract the included plugins folder into the main game folder.

If switching from standalone, replace this mod's xinput1_4.dll with the loader's DLL. Copy your existing ControlStickFix.ini into the plugins folder to keep your settings.

Use one version only. Moving or renaming the standalone DLL into the plugins folder will not work.

Main features

• Replaces the game's roughly 24% axial right-stick deadzone with a configurable radial deadzone

• Removes Control's aggressive horizontal and vertical camera power curves

• Removes time-based camera acceleration and deceleration

• Adds configurable response curve, inner/outer deadzones, X/Y sensitivity and center calibration

• Reloads INI changes automatically; F10 also reloads them manually

• Supports XInput controllers and retains vibration

The default preset uses a sensible 6% radial deadzone and a mild 1. 40 precision curve. It gives more control near the center while still reaching full turning speed. Prefer strict mathematical linearity? Set CurveExponent=1. 00.

Compatibility

Confirmed on current GOG DX12 and Steam builds (0. 0. 518. 2177). Steam Input must be disabled. DX11 support is included but less widely tested. Epic is expected to be similar but still needs confirmation. Right-stick camera input only; the left stick and buttons are untouched.

Configuration and troubleshooting details are included in README.md.

Settings:

• Standalone: ControlStickFix.ini

• Plugin Loader: plugins\ControlStickFix.ini

Uninstall:

• Standalone: delete this mod's xinput1_4.dll.

• Plugin Loader: delete plugins\ControlStickFix.dll. Keep the loader itself if other plugins use it.

Extra info

I'm using a Flydigi Vader 5 Pro with pretty much no deadzone, so you might need to tweak the values a bit if you get stick drift.
