I’ve run into a weird problem. Everytime I play with my TE stick the PC I get random “stickiness” on the joystick and loss of input on the buttons (my character will drop an input and keep going a specific direction even though the stick is at neutral). When I use the same TE stick on the Xbox, it works fine. Also, when I use a wired Xbox controller on the PC it works fine as well.
I’ve tried everything I can think of. The problem doesn’t appear to be the hardware. I have tried two sticks on my PC and they both have the same issue (both sticks work on the Xbox just fine). It also works on another PC properly (unfortunately not a machine I play street fighter on). I’ve tried all the ports on the machine as well and get the same results all around.
The software doesn’t seem to be the problem either. I’ve re installed the drivers multiple times and installed the controller drivers from Microsoft’s site. No dice. Updated all of my chip-set drivers as well, but this didn’t do much either… I also toned down the graphics on my machine (I’m primarily using the sticks for SF4:AE 2012). This did not change a thing. I get the stickiness even outside of the game as well while trying to calibrate it through windows controller settings.
Just to be clear, this isn’t a physical “stickiness” the stick feels fine and I can hear it hitting each switch as I try to combos.
I’m not sure what else to try here. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Any insight would help out.
The USB ports maybe the culprit. it is possible that the stick runs at a high hz rate and none of your ports can handle it, but I highly doubt it. What’s your motherboard in said PC?
I have the original Tournament Edition stick. I’ve also tried the R2 stick. Same results.
I looked into the hz issue. I have increased the hz on one of my USB ports to 500. The issues lessened but are still noticable. I’m trying 1000 right now, I’ll let you know.
Edit. No result. The issues were lessened (could be placebo here) but not fixed. Alphatt, my mobo is a “ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A87TD EVO Rev 1.xx”
That’s why I said i highly doubt it. It was worth a desperate shot, also the difference between an lcd and a crt is not that high to cause something this noticable on it’s own.
Hmm, the issue is less of a delay and more of a “stickyness” or the game holding on to input longer than it needs to. For example, I’ll jump back and the stick will return to neutral, but the character will continue to jump back until I press another button.
However, I would think it was a monitor issue as well but the Xbox wired game pad I use does not have any of the same issues.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming. I appreciate the help. I have a new stick coming in next week. I’ll let you know if that changes anything.
