  • Way better response when aiming around character

-Always sprint

  • no sprint while inventory
    -Weird curtain/open window mixing
    -No Dismantle/electronic device option

It's hard to adapt.
Thanks for your work and good afternoon

#

-Inventory forbid moving/looking around

Yeah the aiming is an improvement, personally the original melee combat was great as is before the last update.

This updates aiming with guns is great.

Inability to do anything whilst walking, game killer.

you can't move while doing stuff?
how is that possible? lol
hopefully that gets a hotfix asap

Yeah the movement is fucked, that 100% needs a hot fix. Aiming with guns and melee is at least playable now though. Just any inventory or character management that's now broken lol

Melee system much better, but does no-one but me feel like the melee aim off centre to the character? Likely slightly below. Feels like I have to aim NW to have it aim right, if I push directly right, my character aims SE

Oh I agree, I mean much better than the last attempted "upgrade" KekINg

#

I should of clarified

#

And oh god.. The new sprint mode.. ded I'm honestly starting to believe none of the internal testers have a controller to test before pushing a patch and they just roll a dice.

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if none of the devs use a controller primarily...

and thats fine and all usually but someone there needs to play for more then a hour solely on a controller before pushing these changes...

if you can't handle playing on the controller because you're missing a function or two, that is irrelevant.

the new aiming system is only "ok" btw imo. i never had an issue with rolling to hit or just aiming without any reticule at all lol...

i was just hoping they would add the red outline back to aiming so i could tell what i was going to hit

Sur that reticule is ugly .

#

And the red outline is still there. Just activate it in option

I have over 2000 hours played exclusively using a controller.

I decided to give the game another chance after stopping about a month ago, when playing with a controller became practically impossible. After reading in the patch notes that the controls had been “fixed”, I came back to try again.

After 5 hours of gameplay — and time completely wasted — I can confidently say that the game is still unplayable with a controller.

I’ve already provided feedback multiple times on Steam and Discord, and I will continue posting this in other channels because this situation clearly isn’t being addressed properly. If you actually care about feedback from someone with extensive controller-only experience, I’m available and willing to help — but right now it feels like controller players are being ignored.

Major issues:

Running system changes:
Moving sprint to the joystick instead of the R2 trigger is a terrible decision. It completely destroys years of muscle memory and makes basic gameplay frustrating. Actions like moving or reloading are constantly interrupted because sprint triggers unintentionally.
On top of that, the game claims that pressing B / Circle makes you run faster — this simply does not work.

Aiming with ranged weapons:
The new aiming behavior is even worse. Moving the right stick no longer brings up the aiming reticle, but instead a useless pointer. The reticle only appears when slightly pressing the right trigger, which has extremely poor sensitivity.
This makes aiming and shooting feel clunky, inconsistent, and unnecessarily difficult. Controller aiming was already harder than mouse and keyboard — these changes make it significantly worse.

I genuinely don’t understand why these changes were implemented, as they actively make the experience worse for controller players.

At this point, the controller experience is not just flawed — it’s broken.

Please take this seriously and fix it, because right now playing with a controller is simply not viable.
