@FearCube ok so yeah that fixed it, I actually had tried that previously and it didn't work. My advice to anyone else having the issue I had in the future is just turn force input on and off and swap between directinput and xinput until eventually it works lol.

Nah I don't think it's that it works fine on all other games, I looked it up and apparently it seems to be a common bug with some controllers and this game. A fix for it is harder to find though.

What kind of controller are y'all using? Cause whenever I plug in my controller with this game it either holds down the w key or infinitely spins the camera depending if I have directinput or xinput enabled.
