[PS4] To Everyone with the Controller's R2 'Bug'

[milesprotector]

I’m expiriencing that issue too, but it’s most likely your controller’s and not entirely the game’s fault.
Since a heavy attack or using the bow needs to register about 90% (probably a bit flawed game design) of the analog R2 trigger and your propably quite extensive used R2 delivers below that, the game won’t register.

To check if this is the case with your controller, do the following:

-> Plug your controller into your pc
-> Go to ‘Devices and Printer’
-> Right click on ‘Wireless Controller’
-> Click on ‘Game controller settings’
-> In the window that pops up click ‘Properties’

X-Rotation is L2 and Y-Rotation is R2.

If you press L2 and R2 at the same time and the bar called Y-Rotation doesnt fill up as much as the X-Rotation, then that means that your R2 doesn’t register the full 100% of analog input (provided the L2 is functioning correctly).

Hope this helps to clarify things a bit

They know it’s a problem but they keep using terms like “work around “ replacing L2 with R2 L2 is a button being USED!! Kick/push. If there idea of a temp fix is to bypass one problem by knowingly causing another then I have to think a bunch of Moronic stupids work there

Well if it’s possible to switch the function of L2 and R2 and the threshold for kick isn’t around 90% as for the heavy attack, then it might well work and wouldn’t cause another problem. I have not looked into it, so i can’t be sure. But honestly i also was a bit surprised that it wasn’t fixed in the latest patch, since it seems to be a quite straightforward problem.

I was Simply offering a way to determine if it’s a hardware problem.

And another thought: If you don’t want to wait for a fix or buy a new controller and your slightly ‘damaged’ one likely isn’t under warranty anymore, you could do a little research to see if the R2 could be fixed.
