Aggressive screen drift

Screen aggressively pulls left, not a controller issue as have 3 controllers and happens to my friends too. Makes the game unplayable and only happens when ADS or throwing grenades. Happens in 60% of games usually towards end circle. It is random when it happens and happens on a brand new controller so I know it is not drift. It is definitely a bug in the game as even have played with random players who experience the issue. It is incredibly frustrating as you can play a whole game working normally and then right at the last fight it just starts pulling left. I have also made sure it is not lag or a connection issue as everything else is running fine. I have bought 2 new controllers thinking this was the issue but no. It still persists

  • @Dublcup666 It is definately a controller issue, I've purchased around 7 controllers where eventually the issue went away. It's because the analogue sticks on the controllers are purposely designed so you need a replacement so sony can still profit heavily off of it.

    Try increasing your deadzone, if it still persists then it might be time to get a new controller. When you purchase a new controller purchase a fully white one with grey handles as it seems to not have any issues (this 7th controller I purchased last year around august, still fine for me), also set the deadzone to small for the new controller. Hope it helps!

    Thanks for the reply bro but it is definitely not a controller issue, I have multiple friends with this issue and it only happens on this game. I can have a period of 2 - 3 games with no issue and then it will start to play up. I did initially think it was a controller issue but after purchasing 2 brand new ones, one of which is the type you mentioned this still persists. It also only happens on this game for me and my friends whereas I would've thought if it was a controller drift problem I would find it happening on other games too

    Ive also looked into deadzone and this make no change, its odd because it is not constant and can happen or stop at any point

  • @Dublcup666 don't listen to that guy it's not a controller issue it's a server issue. It's you desynchronizing from the server. I had the same problem all of season 4. Bought a new controller and no change, season 5 comes out and it's gone. Only game that does this

    Thanks for the reply bro! Hopefully we will get a permanent fix soon, it seems a lot better now in season 5 than it was before. However there are still times it happens but definitely less frequent than before, for me anyway
