Controller Stick Drift on PC

I use a desktop to play BF6 and my preferred method of gaming is by using a xbox controller. Whenever I get to vehicles, even when not touching the controller they drift to the left. Doesn't matter the vehicle. Using tanks is absolutely horrible with this problem. When redeploying, the cursor goes crazy and it can't even stay on one spawn point without wanting to jump around multiple different ones at the same time. Aiming down sights is also a problem since they also drift when aiming. I went to the settings and change the deadzone to the lowest it can be placed and it the drift is still there. I'm not switching to keyboard and mouse just to avoid this issue. I genuinely love playing video games with a controller and I don't play BF6 as much because of this issue. Please let me know if there's anything else anyone would like to know about this problem.

  • I haven't noticed stick drift on my controller until I started playing BF6 and it feels like I have extreme stick drift. Exactly as mentioned, tanks go wonky trying to turn right randomly or go into reverse and cant sit still. Redeploy cursor jittering everywhere. The right stick also has some drift now constantly going up and left. 

    Tried my backup controller and still had the same issues.

    Same issue here. On ps5. 2 different controllers. Both go wonky on the spawn point map, as well as drift slightly to thr right while in a match. Also noticed when looking at challenge assignments it will sometimes go wonky and start moving to right or left.

  • This is happening to me as well with an xbox controller on PC. I have tried adjusting the in-game deadzone settings, I have tried every BF6 setting, windows setting, controller fixes I can find. When I go to deploy the cursor goes nuts, controlling vehicles is a nightmare. When I try and go prone my character just crawls constantly.  This only happens playing BF6.
