Game Pad question?!

[darkstarpoet1]

i was using a logitec dual action since release and had zero problems until a few months ago when it finally broke the wire going into the controller itself. i replaced it with a phillips and had major issues with my left thumb pad forcing me to just start randomly running.

i had this issue on my phillips recoil gamepad for a while. i learned that if i unplugged it for a second and then plugged it back in that it worked fine for hours afterwards. i called phillips and they said sometimes the pc would get minor corruption and cause a need to recalibrate, but after unplugging/replugging it seems to fix it. maybe if it acts up on you when not in a critical situation you can try that and see if it clears the issues up for a short time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're implying the game itself broke the wiring in your controller. Is that what you mean? Because I'm using my controller for this game and I'm also thinking something's not working quite right in the wire.

edit: I'm also having that weird problem with the random running. See my previous post for more details, I think the connection to the USB port is not as good as it used to be, and that's causing the stuck-running.

There is no way the game could send the amount of electricity through the wires in the controller cable necessary to physically damage them. If the controller cable is messed up, it's through normal wear and tear (par for the course with the cheap junk Logitech makes).

no the wire broke through normal use wear and tear. the logitec has a hard plastic piece on the top of the controller that goes into it. that piece is where the wire broke. i guess it was due to be replaced as i have had it for quite a while now. in no way could i blame the game for the wire actually breaking. i'm sure we have some people that would blame the wire on the game and some would just say it was me playing it wrong, but truth is electronics break. that's all i was saying is i didn't have the problem til after it broke and i replaced it.

as people have stated lowering the sensitivity does seem to help. you can also try unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if it may be drivers acting up.
