Hello, I'm having problems with some games seeing the axis's of both the right and left triggers as the same axis. For example, I tried to set the right and left triggers of a driving game, right for accelerator and left for braking but it sees them as the same axis so when I bind both triggers to those commands, the game sees the axis as at 50% when not touching the triggers. When I press the right trigger all the way down, the axis value increases to 100%m when I press the left trigger, the axis decreases down to 0%.

This problem doesn't happen with every game, just certain games, usually older ones.

One thing I did was I opened up the Devices and Printers page in the Control Panel, right clicked on the controller and selected game controller settings and opened the controller's test window of which I have attached a screenshot. As you can see there's only one axis, not two. The Z axis is both triggers, how do I fix this?


I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you

Edit: Strange, it seems some issue is happening with my image sharing site, it's not working atm so you won't see my screenshot right now.

1| Parse the URL alone, instead of placing it in tags, see if that works.
2| See if this reddit post helps you out.
I appreciate the suggestion but I don't think that's the issue. imgur website is down or something. I can log into my account but when I try to go to any of my images I've posted there, I get Error 404 so something is up with the site I think.

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it. I will give what it says a try and see how it goes.

OMG it worked!

Thank you again @Lutfij for sharing that solution, you are awesome. You have no idea how long I've been trying to figure out a way to fix this.

I have several old driving games (I play lots of driving games) that I could never use a controller with but now they should all work fine.
