Re: XBOX Controller Stick Drifting

Hi, @goorinjap 

Can you let me know if it's still doing this after the following steps?

  • Reset the controller settings in game back to default
  • Unplug any devices from the Xbox USB slot
  • Try a different controller
  • Check to make sure the controller has the latest update under your Xbox Settings
  • Perform a power cycle and MAC Address clear
    • http://bit.ly/XB1_PowerCycle
    • Clear the MAC Address: From the Xbox dashboard select Settings>All Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC address>Clear, then restart your Xbox.
  • If necessary, try reinstalling the game to determine whether it might have been corrupted files. If you're using an external hard drive, move it to the internal hard drive

    I tried everything you listed and nothing fixed it. However something strange happened. It's working right now temporarily in game but it's still doing it in the menus or when I press start to go through the menus during gameplay

    Tried all of the above I have a brand new Xbox elite series 2 which Microsoft are promoting along side apex and I still have stick drift on linear and look dead zone none and small this is happening on other settings as well not just linear I replaced the original elite because I thought it was faulty and I’m still getting the same on the series 2 and this only happens on apex. Shouldn’t really be happen especially with a brand new controller.

    Settings>Controller
    Have you tried Movement deadzone Large to fix the Left stick drift?
    Have you tried Look deadzone Small or Large to fix the Right stick drift?

    *Look deadzone Small is the default and recommended option and you should have no Right stick drift.
    I'm playing 1 year and I don't have Right stick drift.

    If i have Left stick drift i just set Movement deadzone to Large.
