Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Up the sensitivity. The stick drift only happen on apex legends, no other game. I would barley move my left stick and my menu cursor in the lobby screen would move. Then in game I would drift. Make the stick deadzone less sensitive.

Left stick drift happens in lobby and in game. It makes it difficult to move your cursor on exactly what you want to click. In game, it messes up your movement and makes it hard to loot death boxes. Increasing the sticks deadzone or sensitivity would be a good fix. This only happens in apex legends, no other game.

    For left stick drift

    Settings>Controller>Movement Deadzone>Large

    @PandasavageTV 

    For right stick drift you can try:

    Settings>Controller>Response Curve Steady

    Look Deadzone None or Small

    ( If you choose response curve>steady then look deadzone>none is recommended but if you still encounter too much right stick drift then try look deadzone>small )

  • @nxsvt I don't know if you found a solution yourself, but for me, as i use the advanced look controls, i adjusted the response curve. I put mine to 9 and it's helped so much, my stick drift was so bad i was getting almost dizzy from it, but now it's very steady. I hope this helps in some way.

    old thread but I am having this issue and I tried adjusting ALC and it still persists.  The thing is...this does not happen in any other game and my controller is fairly new.  

  • it's not the controller, it's the game.  My drift gets worse after every update.  I've tried every one of these suggestions in this post and just about every suggestion I could find on the web, but still no fix.  This issue does not occur on any other game.  

  • How do you Fix The Apex Legends Character Moving Forward By itself or Moving on it's own and everything?

    both of my friend's ps5 sticks are drifting. he bought a new controller, reinstalled the game and the problem still occurs everytime we play. and it only happens with apex legends and no other game.

    can someone at EA please respond to this? 

  • @swift07 did it fix itself? I was trying to get back into Apex but I reinstalled the game and it was doing this. Very very frustrating!
