Anyone else having your crosshair (and your entire visual direction) floating to the right (or any direction for that matter, for me it's always right so far) frequently?

I tried reaquiring wireless controller signal to see if that corrected it. It did not.

It's happening to me VERY frequently, and it's VERY annoying.

If it were indeed a game issues, we’d want to know the following since there are multiple controller configurations as well as control modes:
? Which controller config was selected in options when this was encountered?
? Does this happen when driving or when on foot?
? Does this happen during mind control or when using an RC bomb car?

Also, when starting the game up, make sure you're not pushing the anolog controllers in one direction or the other.

have the same issue only happens for me when standing idle. For me it moves to the left(i believe), I havent noticed it while in a vehicle because im rarely idle while in the cars. this issue doesnt bother me much but i can see how it is annoying. I havn't really noticed it drifting while i was moving wallking running ect. but i look around alot in this game muties just try and sneak you.

When I first bought Fallout 3 for Xbox my crosshair, and sometimes entire character, would start moving sometimes when my fingers were off the anolog sticks. I thought it was just a problem with the game because I didn't notice the same problem w/ other games, but after my dog chewed up my controller and I got a new one I realized there was a problem with the old controller. Just to rule out the controller, try borrowing someone else's controller and see if the problem still exists.

controller i dont think is the issue just bought the controller last week and have also tried al my other controllers with no luck and it only happens occasionally. Idk doesnt affect gameplay for me so im good lol

I've had the same problem with the crosshair drift I would stop moving and the crosshair would still be moving. My friend and I have both experienced this and it's not the controllers. Also unrelated to the crosshair issue my friend told me about when he was in his buggy it shot up 40 feet into the air so he had to get out of the vehicle defib himself, then call for a tow which wiped out all his money. If the charge for a tow is $150 then why was all his money taken? He had more than $150!

I, too, have the same problems. Sticks are never touched when booting xbox or game. Happens on 2 fairly mint controllers, i have about 8 in total. The ones i have tested on are on one that games with the 250 gb slim - black controller and the white controller with black decals that was was a Walmart special editition.


It happens mostly when i am standing still after coming to a stop in cities and in the open area, it seems to drift up and to the left. i have to wiggle them a bit and then the zero out again.

No other game this happens in though - just played through gears 3 and playing BF3 beta.

I've have the same problem, It seem to always drift left when I stop sprinting or walking, I remember it doing the same thing in Fallout 3. It's not the controller I've got 2 new ones and it happens to both.

Would like to say that I love the game!!!!! please fix drift..........

I had this happen, but only when I didnt touch my controller. Most likely its just the hyper sensitive game that picks up on a tired controller.

def. not a tired controller. did any of you increase the controller sensitivity? i did. Maybe that decreases the dead zone for the joystick? or they just need to increase the dead zone a lil bit. there has to be some dead zone in all games otherwise there would be mass problems.

I get this too. I thought it was my controller going bad - but it's only on RAGE that I notice this issue. Mine drifts to the left. I am on the 360.

The dead spot area programmed into Rage for the anolog sticks seems to be very small.
Means: You've got immediate reaction to moving your "look around" stick, which is good! But with most controllers you might get this drift as most anolog sticks on 360 controllers are not 100% adjusted to zero.
Mine sometimes has a drift to the left and my anolog stick is indeed slightly off to the left...

It seems most people are drifting left. All over forums around the webz. I would disagree in saying this is good, though. There is a thing called tolerance. Out of the 200+ games I have played on the 360 (not including the hundreds on PS3, XBOX, PS2, PS1, Dreamcast and N64) all developers/programmers have found a reasonable tolerance with the given controllers, new or ragged out. This is an exception. They have ignored the mean tolerance of all controllers in consumers hands, even new ones, and instead released a game with a faulty control scheme. If most are not "zeroed in" then that should have been factored in. With respect to ANY anolog stick being not zero, this is not fault of the 360, this is common on ANYTHING anolog.

I also want to point out that this may not have been an issue that came past the testers and Q&A team and only came up at some sort of final polishing/stat reset. I say thing because I know what their controllers look like. They are not new. They are not clean. They are worn the heck out and usually dirty as a WoW players keyboard - for good reason. They spend 80 hours a week, if not more, beating the heck out of them.

This whole time I thought it was my controller messing up. But now I see that it isn't. And for me it only happens when I stop in an area and stand still. Never crouching, driving or running. And it doesn't happen while I'm driving an RC car, but it does however happen when I'm controlling another characters mind.

I've also been experiencing this. My crosshairs sometimes drift slowly to the left. Not a crippling issue by any means, but it's there.

You're right about that, but this is not what i meant. I just tried to say that most games today have a dead spot that is WAY to large, making control on gamepads a horrific experience.
I hate it when you have to move the stick heavily out of its zero point before anything happens, especially with racing and fps games. The slight drift doesn't bother me at all.
The controls in Rage are perfect for me although it sometimes has this drift when standing still. But it does immediately react when i push the stick into any direction.
This is what i meant by: this is good!

If somebody of ID Soft is reading this:
Make the tolerance adjustable! In most (serious) racing games on consoles this is an option.

I'm using I believe fps 2 and used fps 4 when I started out playing, the drift for me is to the left in either case, I'm curious as to who has this and who doesn't and which controller you using....the newest contoller were changed. I know I've opened them up. I'm currently using a Gears controller, and also saw the issue with a Reach controller.

My old and completely jerked cable controller which i got with my first 360 in 2006 has this drift on the left stick. And the left stick is definitely off center when you look at it.
My newer and less used wireless controller doesn't have any drift and the sticks are still tightly in place.

Btw.: I also had this problem with the graphics editor in Forza 3 where adjusting the position of a sticker on a car is almost impossible with my old controller as it was moving the stickers automatically to the left....
