loaded a previous safe and since then it works as it should... don't know if that's related though but give it a try
Reloading definitely helps, but the problem does reoccur with some regularity.
Had the same problem, none of the above helped. It's definitely related to the stick dead zone. For some reason the game thinks that when moving forward you're not pressing the stick as far as you can. The only thing that helped me was decreasing the left stick's max dead zone. For example: before I had it set to "0-100", I lowered it to "0-80" and after that everything worked. I should note that setting the dead zone in the game didn't help, only in my gamepad software.
