FSS slider now moves constantly! Is it just me?

The FSS slider used to tune to discover planets never used to move on its own, only the view moved on its own slowly from left to right.

Now, the view moves less but the tune slider also moves constantly from left to right, making it a pain to keep planets tuned so you can zoom in once they become a solid circle.

I play on Xbox One. Is it just me or have any other explorers noticed this new "bug"? Maybe the devs did this on purpose? If so, dumbest change ever made!

Please reply and let me know if you have noticed this also. It just began doing this in the past week or two max.

Thank you.

Try increasing the stick deadzone value in the FSS control settings. Mine did the same until I increased this 1 or 2 clicks.

I just figured it out before I came back to delete this post. Apparantly, over time my controller has become more right oriented but totally not noticeable on any other aspect of the game. Once I adjusted the deadzone setting, it stopped moving. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future!

I had to move the deadzone for FSS <RS> five clicks to the right to make it stop moving on its own.

It has, I thought this was a feature of the system until I happened on this thread. Thanks for the heads up.

The tuning does move very slightly over time in FSS, but not so much as to disrupt your scanning process. Sadly the analog sticks on the regular Xbox controllers are prone to "drifting" as it's called. I've been using an Elite controller (coincidentally for Elite, haha) for almost three years now and thankfully the sticks are still perfect.

Last time I got drift on my xbox sticks, I opened it up and used tweezers to pull out the fuzz that had built up in the mechanism from dust that had gradually fallen down under the sticks. They've been going for a solid year since then with no such drifting, and are now 3 years old with no sign of it recurring yet.

It happened to me as well since the update launched but since my controller never had issues with drifting I thought it was a """feature""", I might try to change my deadzone and see what happens though

Inside all analogue sticks on controllers there is a spring that pushes the stick back to center over time this spring gets softer by the tiniest amount this means the stick is no longer pushed to the correct deadzone location, its this spring quality that decides on how long reset to dead zone will work for after you let go of the stick...

Happens to me too, and also when scanning a planet the probe target reticule drifts down. I thought it was deliberate, too, just to make it a bit more difficult.

I did try to find where to adjust the deadzone for the stick. I'll need to look a bit closer in the options menu.

I have noticed this too, but it’s nothing to do with the deadzone as far as I am aware, as it only happens on the inner most zoom. Zoom out a little and it doesn’t happen. Doesn’t happen outside of FSS either, so I am content it’s not the controller itself.

Also I do not exprience drifting with other games, so I am content, again, that it is not the controller or some supposed spring deterioration.

I don't have any drift on my Elite controller sticks either...the minor fact that the rubber grips have fallen off and so far have resisted any adhesive known to man in order to refix them for any longer than a week has proven a feat worthy of a sheer chemical wizard...one of which I'm not.

I've tried them all...superglue, no more nails, epoxy resin and Gorilla glue...but when even the mighty Araldite won't stick the damned things back on...time to get the junior chemistry set out of the attic and brew some weird adhesive compound using sheeps hooves, tree bark, Lapwing's tears and tongue of newt I think...

If you see a brief flash and a weird mushroom cloud in the northern sky, it's not Mr Trump initiating WWIII...it's just me in the shed...probably with no eyebrows [where is it]

No I know you’re exagerrating. Why, Araldite will stick a man in white coveralls onto a board which is then suspended way up in the air by helicopter. [haha]
