Controller Problem

[brokenfish]

Hello.

 

I have a Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3. I'm having a problem where if I hold down button 1 (the bottom one on the right side), the left side of the left analog stick doesn't work.

For instance, I can hold the button (to accelerate) but once it's held down, I can't turn left. I can still lean forward and backward, turn right, and do pretty much everything else simultaneously, but I can't turn left while accelerating. It's a real pain, especially when driving.

 

Does anybody experience the same thing or have any ideas on how to possibly fix this? I have all the latest drivers and everything.

 

Thanks.

Sorry for the double post, but I feel this bump might be helpful.

 

I magically solved my problem by turning anti-aliasing off (set at level 2 previously).

 

I have no idea what that has to do with the left side of the analog stick, but the problem has gone away since.

I have a problem with the right stick, it doesn't work!!!

I have dual power 3 too...

Do you have the same problem?

 

Thanks.

Yep, I think everyone with a dual analog controller has that problem. There's a problem with everyone's D-pad too. There's no real fix for either problem - they either substitute functions and then create more problems for me or they just don't work.

 

This same thing happened with GTA III and Vice City. I thought, after all these years, they would've fixed it by now. Apparently, they don't care about PC gamers as much as Xbox or PS2 players.
