By default left stick is pitch and roll control. It only translates the camera when freelook is on, which is mapped to left bumper.

Have you changed something in the freelook assignments which might have left it stuck ‘on’?

These are the bindings, dunno why you’d think they were invisible. I tried clearing them and it had the expected effect.

Can anyone make a little video tutorial for this? I use a Ps4 controller (nacon)

so i tried the freelook thing and it initially worked, but then just went back to how it was. ive removed every single bind for the joystick and it is set to control nothing now, yet its still moving the camera. with fixed look turned on and off makes no difference.

Just figured this out, it’s the Steam app’s gamepad settings…I changed it from the default profile to the “empty” profile and it’s working properly.

By default, the left stick is sending arrow commands, which is why the camera keeps moving in game.
