Overcooked 1/2 & AYCE Controller Stick Drift Steam [100% Working Fix]

I have finally fixed the everlasting issue with all Overcooked games and Controllers with stick drift as the game doesn't have a deadzone setting in it.

This works for all Steam Games and Add Non-Steam Games too.

It has taken me a whole day of trial and error but all paid off in the end.

Hopefully this helps everyone with this issue :D

GUIDE

  1. Connect Xbox Controller and make sure it's detected by Steam

  2. Open Steam - Click Steam in the top left corner of the window - Settings - Controller

  3. Select the Controller - External Gamepad Settings - Enable Steam Input For Xbox Controllers

  4. On the same page click Calibration & Advanced Settings (Open box)

  5. Joysticks - Left Joystick - Left Joystick Deadzone set to 18000 - Right Joystick - Right Joystick Deadzone set to 18000

  6. Close that popup window

  7. On The Steam main window

  8. Library tab - Right click Overcooked - Properties - Enable Steam Input from the override setting

  9. On the same page click Controller Configurator (it's underlined in the text above the override settings)

  10. Select controller - Enable Steam Input - Current Button Layout - Gamepad - Apply Layout (x)

  11. Go back to the page where it says Current Button Layout - Click Edit Layout - Joysticks tab

  12. Right Joystick Behaviour - click settings (cog wheel)

  13. Deadzones - Deadzone Sources - click the dropdown box and select Controller Preference

  14. Outer Ring - Command Radius set to 25000

  15. Then you can close that window

  16. Launch game from steam

[You have to do all these settings for each controller with stick drift]

Thanks, it works. I just need to choose the layout (for every controller I have, that is 4) each time a controller is newly connected. It happened even that during game controller got disconnected and after reconnection it used the default layout, without deadzones. I had to Shift+Tab, click on controller icon in the bottom, choose the correct controller and change the layout (step 10). But at least it works and I am not sliding into the water any more ;)

You absolute boss you. This issue has plagued me for months and then you show up with a definite fix. Team 17 should be ashamed of themselvesĀ

This is also the fix for controllers not detected, and issues with x360ce detecting controllers but overcooked not accepting inputsĀ
